I wrote this piece over the course of 2006. Though the majority was committed to paper during that year, the project continues to evolve every time I come back to it. I'm still struggling to find the perfect avenue to represent the composition…

this is improvised song that i just made up on night. the words always change and the length as well. it's not really about anything in real life, i just like the "lies to the sun" part.

based on a poem from Charles Bukowski. the bass part is from an older song i wrote with a band call black water. i hate wasting good parts.

originally a fast tempo tune, i started slowing it down to add variety. it's hit or miss really.

a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.

this was a song i wrote and performed a couple times with a former band (kill.pop.), but we broke up before it ever got recorded. i had to save it, though this version is aweful.

here we are, for the very first time

MMI gave me one of his loops to play with (maybe he'll upload the original loop for comparison). Anyway this is my first real attempt at using a loop so I butchered it pretty liberally. Let me know what you think.

This song started just as a chord progression that evolved, lost some chords, gained others. I don't usually sing this high on a song, but for some reason this song needed it. I thought about doing more on this one, but I really like acoustic…

Didn't really work. Kind of lost the essence of the song by going a bit bonkers on effects and what not.
Will return to this (but a lot more simplified) in the future.. comments welcome!

My only regret is that I couldn't get more power into this song, but no amount is enough. Desoto on bass again.

The longing is authentic. What more can I say.

More Montgomeru on trumpet. The lyrics for this song were written by myself and Mike Connor back when we were Sloth House.

After I finished collecting and mixing all the trumpet tracks from Montgomeru, I was no longer sure which one of us actually wrote this song.

Another thanks to Desoto for giving this song some necessary atmosphere.

A very old song that I should have heeded long ago.

I stole some words from a poem by Sudara for this one. "Stretch this moment into minutes, hours, days or years" became a defining phrase in this album.

A huge thank you to desoto on this one. The bass propels the listener like riding a wave while the flute cuts your mind loose in the atmosphere.

Feeling a little New Order style roadtrip music.
