Teebs - Ardour .... relation?

I wonder if Teebs’ debut album has any relation to the DAW?

Alas, no relation. I did write to him and ask him to consider using Ardour for future releases … no reply. I’m not sure why this release has garnered so much attention (my google alert sends me stuff almost every day that includes new reviews etc.). To me it seems like a relatively unskilled, not particularly inspired effort, but I suppose that people not familiar with this the edges of the genre might be quite struck by it. It does have a very very beautiful cover, however.
