Written on a temporary absence from the internet, this is me retreating into my shell (and taking half damage.)

(5 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) The conclusion of my mid-album epic. The last two minutes or so were highly influenced by Muse - years ago I spent a lot of time listening to their album, "The Origin of Symmetry" and it has affected both my singing…

(4 of 5 in "Tree Haus" cycle) That's an ASCII picture of a Kuriboh, those lovable, useless fluffballs from Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't watch the show but I played some of the games for the GBA and the things's just so cute.

(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.

(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…

(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.

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...

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…

I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.

Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…
