Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
What each cut means to me...

The first piece, "The Accident"...life is like an accident because you never know what the outcome will be.

The second piece is about my cat, "Booba".

"Marty's Bossa", was named after me, because I like breaking rules. It isn't a bossa nova at all, but more of a combination of different Brazilian rhythmical feels.

"Time Travel Sequence" is the first movement of a two-part suite and represents what it might feel like traveling through time: The sensation of being catapulted to a different era; atoms whizzing past you; the vibration of your body; the humming in your head as you reel from the excitement; the ticking of time; and finally, an eerie silence. The second movement, "Strange Beings of Futurity", is the representation of beings in the future, here or on a different planet.

"Hidden Demons", touches on what lurks inside us. We all have a dark side, even if we never show it to others. "The Social Morality of Immorality" is a commentary on what has, unfortunately, become the norm in society...greed and dishonestly hidden under the guise of prosperity and success.

"The Classicist's Law", an idea that humankind may become extinct, unless we evolve into higher thinkers and take control of our lives.

"Skirmish of the Minds" looks at what can happen in your head when you have too many hidden demons or subscribe to the notion of socially accepted immorality.

I haven't decided if "The Imperical Matron" represents big business and government trying to shove their agendas down our throats or just a pushy mother trying to run her child's life. I'll let you decide this one for yourselves!

"The 3R's" represent rules, regulations, and religion, and how some people can lose independent thought if they rely on them too heavily.

"Blues for Angela"...a blues for my wife.

Finally, "Ode to Wells" is a solo piano ballad dedicated to my favorite science fiction writer, H.G. Wells.
