Drinking coffee at my modest kitchen table around noon, after just waking up, I
starred out the skinny window next to my door and saw the back of a stairway. These

I don't know if even I can tell, but this is inspired by Captain Beefheart's
Trout Mask Replica. Ok, maybe its not so well hidden. Katie Lawrence can be heard
on this track, recording this having never seen the lyrics prior to.

A couple months in a metal band called Season's Legion inspired this song. The
lyrics were written in what we (Katie Lawrence Co-wrote) thought would be what
their singer would have written for this type of song. The title was supposed
to be…

Not much to say about this but that it's one of the first songs I actually
wrote down every note for. I think that makes it a small cut above most of my
instrumental songs.

Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is
somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This
was written as a poem before I started writing Slumber Love.

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned
out great. Maybe a little too Velvet Underground. Maybe nothing is ever too
Velvet Underground... Written just for Abide.

Supposed to be the biggest joke on this album, Candle turned more into an actual
like-able song. I was trying to make fun of Sonic Youth stuff, but it ended up
growing and becoming an instant Mud Octave classic track. The Lyrics were written…

This is one of the songs I wrote for Filthy Time that's been hiding
in the back of a notebook waiting for music to be chugged out. I'm
really glad I let this seep for a while before letting loose.

This song is one of the few i wrote just for Abide. I've been listening almost
non-stop to Dylan's latest release and this is what I got out of it. I mean no
disrespect to Bob, just trying to sing my songs.

Sorry - I forgot to take my medication when I came up with this one.
It began as an exercise in strange sound effects, and developed into this exploration of headphone space.
Uploaded
There's some kind of Tool/Pain Of Salvation vibe to this one, albeit murked up by a lot of electronic ambience.
Uploaded
A quick transitional piece - sort of a hybrid of ambient drone and louder rock.

I did a brief stint where I used loop libraries.
I still feel as though this track should say "written by Robert Rich".
This is also why I no longer do loop libraries.

This piece I started work on a couple months ago. It's still in it's early stages, and needs some tweaking here and there, but I like where it's going. I wrote it while heavily into Lindstrom and Prins Thomas (and still am!). Enjoy.
