about

This is certainly not meant to be technical or polished.... these old recordings are not even really performed well. These are forgotten Demo's that I found still existed - and each one means something in it's context.

This is many years of ideas quickly thrown to tape, some more defined - I can hear a period where I lost my Mojo... my voice is thin and weak and constantly out of tune... I can hear my fear of being judged being listened to by strangers through the walls of crappy rented homes, having to plug every instrument in direct and mix using headphones - but nevertheless needing to get an idea down.

Sometimes you have to sort through your musical 'junk drawer' to know what is you already have, to better know what you need. What's crazy is this is 30 tracks, and is barely scraping the surface. Perhaps Part 2 will be some simpler acoustic stuff from the last 30 years..

This is not really to entertain, rather a cathartic archive of long distant emotions, a journal of sorts that you have stumbled upon, and know you shouldn't read... It's more for me than anything. But if you can see past the mistakes, the bad performances, and if something can touch you - be blessed in it.
