Oh crap - somebody broke the multiverse. I should have known those #?%! black holes were a serious security flaw. We were really meaning to fix that, but never got around to it. (It would have cut into our golf time.)

The monitors of the omniverse are bored out of their mind, and wish something would happen to break the monotony. There are some things that transcend the laws of physics - Murphy's Law is one of those things. ---- May be a little soft for…

The final version of this track: When escaping events that are falling apart, be leery of strangers offering gifts - particularly when they look like something out of Children Of The Corn and they offer to lob you into orbit with a giant catapult…

Hurtling towards oblivion thanks to a giant catapult owned by a foul-mouthed voodoo child, he sends a final lewd finger gesture back to the world he sought escape from. Unbeknownst to him, Voodoo Boy may have a vested interest in using him…

A well of thoughts continues, but who is it dreaming in the white room? Midnight has drifted away, and we're headed towards the dawn of the next day.

About Who I am!

Brokenheart song but you got to go on!

Love Song

Spoiler here: This song ends on a down note, but not to despair. The sequel to this disk starts right where this one fades off and will be titled "...Not Forgotten". This song was done in a way that implies a live show, like a few of the other…

There was an entirely separate piece under this name, nearly finished two days before the 09 RPM challenge finished, but while taking a break before getting ready to do the final mix this version came to me in the shower. Sadly, the towel wiped…

Another synth driven track, exploring the new found instrument. My usual style of singing behind the beat doesn't work as well here as I would have liked, but it may get redone soon. We shall see. More positive lyrics over fairly dark music…

A homage to the goth bands of the late 80's. Dark music with light lyrics and the first synth piece for the IA projects.

Originally, this was not to be the title track, but as the album evolved it became more and more obvious that this was the overall tone of the collection - to not forsake one's dreams, faith or music due to the world intervening. My first attempt…

A strange blend of slide guitar and synth, both new techniques for me this year. This was originally just a way to learn how the synths worked, and was never really intended to be used on the album, but the low synth line ended up catchy enough…

My second foray into multi-tracking my voice. Still a great deal to learn here, but I'm starting to figure this out.

A very raw take, inclusive of mistakes and the dog wagging his tail to play some extra parts for me. He seemed puzzled that I was singing to no one, so he assumed it must mean I was singing to him! One of the strange harmonics is due to a…

The title is a reference to the rain in "Pain" and how once the pain is gone you feel like it's a new day. My first foray into multi-tracking vocals, with mixed results. I like the effect, but I just had realized I can sing about half way…

Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…
