Aloft in the Storm
Aloft in the Storm
Symphonic metal styled ballad, with sojourner themes...as we are so wont to do.
The Night Train
The Night Train
A song that's steampunk in ambiance and allusion more than anything else. Love the eerie open sound of a city deserted after dark--and the idea of keeping faith with passing trains someday you'll be somewhere new...
Momentous - Studio Version
Momentous - Studio Version
Full recording of Momentous taken from the poetry of John, chapter one, about the coming of Jesus.
Under the Orange Trees
Under the Orange Trees
fun ballad in tribute to an odd romance: Queen Irene and Eugenides, Thief for her rival. This one is acoustic, stripped down, and happy despite all odds. (Kind of like the story itself.)
Stealing Peace
Stealing Peace
Gen&Attolia: Fan anthem for the Queen's Thief series, particularly Queen of Attolia
Home Station
Home Station
a bit of fun rock--ratings pending for subway grunge and fantasy references...
Over the Fences
Over the Fences
Eerie sound and ambiguous meaning were the goal with this song, one of the first for our urban fantasy themed project.
Wash of the Sea
Wash of the Sea
The fading of Lorien--one of the saddest elements of Tolkien's saga, for me.
Havens
Havens
Gandalf speaking to his friends left in Middle-Earth--a song of hope after parting.
Entmarch
Entmarch
An eerie chant, setting the Ents' battle cries as they prepare to unleash the wrath of the forest on Saruman
Home in the Shire
Home in the Shire
The very quiet love story of Sam and Rosie is one of solid trust, of simplicity and homey joy. I imagine that just as Sam's hopes to make a life with Rosie sustained him at the very end, she was standing up to the infiltrating of the Shire and hopin
Shield's Edge
Shield's Edge
An anthem for little people and normal characters in extreme situations.
At the Golden Perch
At the Golden Perch
This is a silly song...worse, it's a roughly produced silly song. But what's life for if not a bit of fun? This is supposed to sound like a bar-ballad. There is obnoxious clapping and whistling and a bit of attention from the barmaid.
Born Under a Star
Born Under a Star
very rough draft (live & unpracticed)--Christmas song of sorts. We had new microphones and I LIKE the way my voice sounds for the first time ever, hearing it. Had to post for friends...
Momentous
Momentous
Rough Take: Reflective song on the idea of the incarnation of God into a man--a bit more mellow and jazzy than our usual, so slotted into New Age for lack of better ideas. We'll be recording it more formally soon.
