Completed Albums

The World Within(2007)

An experimental folk and rock based album centered around mellow, but often eerie acoustic guitars, the occasional electric, spacious vocal melodies and sounds from the abyss. Constantly flirting with that fine line between heaviness and roomy, open spaces. The lyrics beg the listener to tap into the common root of all humanity, to reflect on the state of our consciousness. The vocals speak of human existence, while the music speaks of the natural universe - the marriage of inner and outer space - the union of spirit and matter. A scenic soundscape of the dreamstate in which we live, hopefully this one will leave you coming back for seconds.

What Can't Be Seen(2009)

Having done every RPM there's been (in some form or another), it would have been tragic had I not followed through this year. Even so, I came pretty close to letting that happen. About three weeks of procrastination in (how does that happen?) I cranked out "Someone Else's Stride" after about an hour. Then...I liked it so much I did nothing but listen to it for a week straight. Realizing that February 28th had finally arrived, with only one song recorded, I pulled out the old grindstone and recorded the next 8 songs all in that day. While there are certainly some compromises that come with doing such a hasty job, I'm actually pleasantly surprised with how good it turned out all things considered. There are quite a few things in there that I normally wouldn't let fly, and I obviously didn't have any time to really think about any other instrumentation or mess around with overdubs, but this allowed me to just get down to the core of the song and get it out there. For less than 24 hours of work, I couldn't be happier.
