Though I've known what the title was for a week+, I finally decided to write the thing the night before it was due.

I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…

The final track of my 2010 RPM Challenge album. The intro is a bit of a red herring to lead the listener(whoever that may be...) to believe it is in the same vain(vein?) as the Fear Trilogy but then morphs into something else. This too fall into…

Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…

I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…

This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!

That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

decided to do a minimalistic chord progression of the Choro de Berimbau tune.
Uploaded
this was an attempt at making a tune where the vocal melody was nonredundant with the chords (or never found in any of the notes of any of the chords).
Almost succeeded - but it was fun trying.

this song tells the story about a haunted man condemned to jail because of the crimes he did.
Uploaded
well its nearly there. I like to put stuff that I am working on up so that I can listen to it in passing for a day or so, it gives me the chance to hear it with new ears. And maybe get a little feedback/ suggestions. I need to finish the vocal…

The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

this ain't perfect, i've been working on it a while. the drums sound like shit, my vox are horid and the guitars suck balls, but i kinda like it.

Created back in 1999 with the help of alonetoner K.Scot. I had translated the english lyrics into portuguese - then just decided to record both languages at the same time.
