Live In Infamy Live In Infamy
FDR's Pearl Harbor speech kicks off this fast paced track, driven along by a fervent drum beat.
Tagistopheles Tagistopheles
The bass line is abrupt and powerful, showing no mercy or compassion and driving the song forcefully forward. The main passage reeks of power and force wielded without restraint.
Neap and Ebb Neap and Ebb
A pumping and energetic bass line drives the song forward with a main passage reminiscent of lazy summer days on the beach. In counterpoint, the accompanying tune evokes feelings of memories and wistful thoughts.
Swims the Mind Wobbles Swims the Mind Wobbles
The main passage speaks of smoothly functioning technology: rounded edges, soft curves and pale blue-green feelings. In counterpoint, the second passage tells of rough edges, concern worry and uneasiness, reddish-gray feelings.
Tears From the Armored Christ Tears From the Armored Christ
The song carries with it a sort of otherworldly longing; an impetus to push onward that is more emotion than energy. The song seems to echo memories of chances untaken, of loves unmet, promises unfulfilled.
Wol§inuous Wol§inuous
The song oozes a mystery that is intriguing yet forbidden; a royal figure clad in ceremonial garb who not to be looked upon without the trappings of rank.
Sneakies Sneakies
The whispering quality of the static used as a percussive element combined with the elusive nature of the main phrase as it pans from left to right give this song an undercover feel and its title, Sneakies.
The Journey The Journey
The piece progresses through several distinctive sections, beginning with a slow passage that reminds me of a camel caravan across a desert, and ending with haunting harmonic plucked strings.
Erstwhile... Erstwhile...
The fuzzy effect of both the rhythm and bass passages lends a buzzing energy to this piece...an upbeat mood tinged with the frantic importance of something hinted at yet just beyond perception.
Doomsayer Doomsayer
Doomsayer was so titled based upon my use of artillery for percussion, and evolves as a slow, dark, almost dirge-like processional.
VARIABLE E VARIABLE E
The on again - off again percussion throughout the piece and the slower central passage work to provide aural breaks; allowing the central phrase to return with renewed vigor.
