"Longing" (in my opinion) is my masterpiece (up to this point). I love it! Beyond being my "long"est composition, it simply takes the listener on a journey. The title comes from when I was putting together the second piano section (at the 5 minute mark). This entire sequence reminded me of missing somebody. Wanting or wishing for them to be in your life again. Hence, the title. Hope you all enjoy it.

"Memories Fade" evokes a sense of solace and serenity. In my mind, it's a reminder that when we think someone/something we love is gone, they really aren't. We just need to pay attention. From a musical standpoint, my favorite part is the conga break at 2:27! Make sure to check that part out:)

Oh, where to start with "Questions Outweigh My Answers"? The track title says it all. This song took me longer than most to reach its final form. I kept asking myself "What if?", which can often lead to running in circles on a hamster wheel.

-What if I change the tempo here?

-What if I alter the piano keys to violin strings?

-What if I add a CODA at the end which leads to a crescendo?

. . . and on and on.

Finally, I've come to what you're hearing here, and I'm truly proud of. While I may still have more questions, I've answered enough to see this piece of music to its completion.

"Bedtime Stories" is kind of a juxtaposition. You have a very ambient feeling bedrock with piano and ethereal effects. However, you also have a more rock n' roll feel electric guitar doing simple runs throughout. The guitar runs are in the realm of David Gilmore (Pink Floyd). No, I'm not nearly as good as him; the point is the runs are not flashy; as I've learned, often it's in what notes are left out or are left to sustain that do the bulk of the talking.

I'm gonna' be honest . . . I love this track! "Leap of Faith" was inspired by thinking of the challenges that humanity has been able to conquer by having the guts to simply take a "leap of faith" and go for the gold so to speak. When we truly put our minds, hearts and souls into an endeavor, there's not much we can't accomplish. So, what are you waiting for? Take the leap!

What started as a simple piano run in D major turned into quite the experiment. While intended to be a ballad, this track took a mind of its own and developed into a far more upbeat song, with a concentration on electronic beats and heavy guitar reverb. In the end, I'm really happy with how "Imagine a Day" turned out!

"Hard to Find" is the first song I've written for the next album, "Processing." I'm really proud of it. It's a piano piece at heart; but there's some majorly layered guitar tracks. Not to mention there are two distinct/separate bass lines, as well. Hope you all like it!

Ahh . . . where to start with "Cosmic Harmony." Well, its intro and exit have a very Seattle feel; but then out of nowhere, you'll hear some REM inspiration . . . and then when you think you have it all figured out, off we go to church with the angelic voices and harmonies. It's a cosmic ride!

"Familiar Change" is honestly a piano piece at heart. The piano lays the foundation. However, as with many of my tracks, that's when layers of the cake are added. With an eclectic, funky bass line, along with multiple guitar tracks . . . this is a track perfect for closing your eyes and taking a nap in the gentle breeze of summer.

I felt like it was time to rock a bit again. I've been on the laid back, ambient, shoegazer kick (which I do enjoy); but sometimes, I need to simply let it rip. And rip (my friends) is exactly what "Repeat Transmission" is all about. Powerchord heaven and a bass line waiting to chew on your face (in a good way!) Enjoy.
