This is my second album, created in my junior year of high school.

"Fragile Hands" was my first successful unification of abstract emotion, MIDI sequencing, and digital audio processing.





"Voices" was inspired by a night of camping in the woods and having a really freaky, dare I say supernatural, experience with lights and noises.





"i", I remember working on this song when I was sick, home from school (you can hear the clogged sinuses in my voice). The lyrics express my discontent with being "gently" forced to live my life a certain way by society's expectations, and also of being trapped in illness. At the time I was dealing with major surgeries from out-of-control Ulcerative colitis.





Generation 21, while not a good song by most standards, was important because it was my first experiment in online collaboration. The singer...Darryn I believe his name was, lived in the UK and approached me about having lyrics for my instrumental songs. I gave him the instrumental for Generation 21 and he sent me back a version with vocals. Cool, I thought. Too bad it wasn't more successful. However, it did set the stage for a very successful collaboration on my next album, Perceiving Possible Realities.





"Mega Man" is a tribute to the great video game series. The main keyboard lead is a reference to the Top Man stage of Mega Man Three. The song was originally played with a band I was in at the time called "Silence the Eyes", later, after the band had broken up, I produced an electronic version of the track.





"10:15 on a Saturday Night" is my first attempt at a cover song, and it was spurred by a fan-based project called "Pink Pig: The whole Cure in the Mirror", and a collaboration with my friend Alex Vallejo. The project succeeded in pooling together a fan-made cover of every Cure song ever released. Once it was finished, a copy of the huge collection was sent to Robert Smith and the rest of the band. I also contributed a second track for the collection, a cover of "The Walk"....However, I somehow lost my copy of the song, so it does not appear on this disc.
