A song inspired by a dream, Unchained is about a woman who has been beaten and abused throughout her marriage until one day her husband dies of undetermined causes, yet she feels no guilt, only release...

A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…

A song I wrote and recorded in one day (the day before the RPM Challenge ended, actually). I really stretched my abilities as a picker here (duff notes and all), but I shamefully admit I really like this song. A reminder to me of the strength…

An attempt to evoke images that weren't in the first-person. I tend to write in abstract fragments and this piece is no exception.

A deceptively forceful song dealing with the death of my sister.

An older song from a previous band that was never quite captured to my satisfaction. I was going for very laid-back "Pale Blue Eyes" vibe.

An exercise in configuring sonic spaces - it was only later that I realized the scathing lyrics were self-directed.
