A song about whether or not to do something you're uncomfortable with...
Moving Too Slow:
Oooooooooh…am I moving too slow for you

Oooooooooh…if I want to get close to you

This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word.

I don’t think that she’s feasible.
Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable

Thanks for listening to my album, "Love ZZZV"! This opening track is still my favourite of the nine because it features nothing I'd call a mistake and still leaves me in wonder just as to how I wrote it. The extended, classic tracker-style soloing…

Here's the first time you hear the "Love ZZZV" theme reprised in a slightly different way. Then we morph into a style someone described to me as being medieval. Me, I'm not convinced they liked noise interludes all those centuries ago...

(1 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I regret not doing more about the stodginess of this song - it's the lowpoint of the album to me. Perhaps you disagree but I still wince my way through this. Alas.

(2 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) I wrote this song, originally to be called "Tree House", years and years ago, piece by piece, just by jamming away on my keyboard and wailing. It never acquired lyrics, but then, the only thing I find less important…

(3 of 5 of "Tree Haus" cycle) This was meant to be a 30 second interlude but grew into a song of its own; now I find it one of the two "perfect" tracks on the album.

Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

This is the first track I recorded for my 2009 RPM Challenge CD. The music was written in January, but the lyrics were written by a good friend of mine, Sparky Adams, in 1972 right after he returned from Vietnam. Check it out!
