  • It Won't Be Long
    "It Won't Be Long" is pretty unique for me in a couple of ways. One is I'm starting to play around with piano runs. Secondly, there's a bass line where the notes bend to a new octave (similar to the guitar bends in "In My Life" by the Beatles; or Eddie Van Halen in "Runaround".) It's a longer song that feels like you're longing for something and hopefully . . . "It Won't Be Long" before it appears;)

  • Fall From Grace
    "Fall From Grace" is a moody little thing. It has tempo changes; it goes from standard tunings to sharp chords and back again; it even has some techno nuances in the background (if you listen closely). Hell, there's even a choir in there:) The title comes from the A A/G A/F# A/F run . . . falling down, down, down. Yep, that's show my mind works:)

  • Soul Searching
    "Soul Searching" is a song on a musical journey that is longing to find "home." Its tempo changes, multiple backing tracks, spirits speaking, and then some are all culminating together to reach the end of their journey (or "search" if you will).

  • Clear as Day
    "Clear as Day" stems from how this creation makes me feel. While writing and recording it, it just had a simplistic clarity to it. However, listen closely (seriously, listen closely), and you'll hear there's lot to be discovered hidden in the clarity!

  • Eerily Enigmatic
    This one is quite interesting. Call its inspiration a cross between Muse and just seeing the new Batman movie. The song has a dark, yet mellow groove (albeit the ghost talking to you in the background is a little eerie). It's really cool how a song comes together from a simple guitar riff and then off I go into another world! That's the beauty of music!

  • Coming Home
    This is certainly my longest track (up to this point); this is due to the outgoing Coda at the end. It's kind of in the realm/inspiration of "Take Me Back" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. In essence, the coda takes you down the stream to bring an end to your journey. Be ready, as well, for the 2nd portion of the coda (as it lifts off with a heavy guitar and choir!) Hope you enjoy it!

  • Dusk to Dawn
    "Dusk to Dawn" is a pretty adventurous track . . . at least for me it is. Some tempo and key changes are present give it a feeling a time actually changing (i.e. dusk to dawn). Part of the song feels like you're walking down the street in New York City, with your best strut. Then, the tempo changes and it's time to take off your walking shoes and chill till' the dawn.

  • Spanish Radiance
    "Spanish Radiance" is a track in which I give a nod to the beauty of Spanish guitar elements. Sprinkled throughout the track are simple guitar runs, which illuminate the beauty of the Spanish guitar sound. Furthermore, if listened to closely, you'll hear a really cool bass line laying down the song's foundation. Enjoy!

  • The Battle of You

    Every day throughout our decision making, interactions, etc. there are two creatures battling inside you. Since I love sharks, I’ll pick them as the allusion for this battle. You can pick whatever creature you like (cats, dogs, wolves, etc.). Who wins? That depends. Who should win? That’s a non-starter. That answer should be obvious, but is very elusive to our species more often than not. So, let’s learn and discover a little about ourselves shall we?


    Note: Song intro/backing/outro is a song I've written titled, "Outside Looking In".

  • So Long
    "So Long" is kind of mellow instrumental rock. I really love the break groove I found on the B string. It's my favorite part of the song. It kind of has a longing feeling to it, hence the title.
