Quite simply, this is about unconditional love and all that it accepts. What you hear is the first draft of a song that was written in 20 minutes. This song exemplifies the mystery within music. All I did was think about what it meant to love unconditionally, and poof! This song came out of me and has not been altered since.

Like 15 Aftermaths, this song uses some delay and a phaser modulation in the beginning, but when the bowing begins, it is pure viola.

Translated as “a flash of light” in Zulu, this song is written both out of frustration and of passion. Frustration with apathy, and passion for the warriors of the world who fight the good fight. As I play I repeat to myself, “If you keep going, I’ll keep going.”

Unabi is one track, with no loops, no effects.

[This is previously known as Passive/Action – please change the title in your iTunes/media player if you have a previous recording]

The magic of youth, idealism and love. Sometimes I imagine a sandbox within an emerald when I perform this piece, sometimes I think of other bits of beauty.

Sandbox Sessions is one track, with a delay effect and a mild phaser modulation.

The power to create, the power to destroy… You hold both in your hands.

Crux is a multi-track recording, so when heard live, this song alters slightly due to the live looping. Very little effects are used. A lower octave is added at times.

A “Succor” is one who comes to aid in a time of need; the quiet hero who stealthily helps from the shadows.

La Succora is recorded as one track, with a delay effect and mild lower-octave modulation.

This is written for all of the women and goddesses in the world, because we need their strength more than ever. Imagine what this world would be like if every single woman was fully empowered and comfortable with herself, her sexuality, her resourcefulness and strength, her prowess… Bring it, ladies. Bring it out. I invoke you.

The Invocation is a multi-track recording, so the song changes slightly when heard live. The baseline or timing doesn’t change, nor the mood; just the melodic notes. I’ve played this song for many years, and I have never played it the same way twice.

A samurai warrior at night, in the rain. He kneels pensively with one hand on his sword, meditating. It is the night before the battle. What do you see?

Helixa is one track, and uses tremolo bowing techniques with lots of reverb manipulation and a wah effect.

Welcome to the battlefield.

This song is one track, one take. I built the loop before we started recording, so if you hear it live you’ll hear it from the start. We used lots of effects: Overdrive, reverb, wah, more overdrive…

The long, complex journey that leads us home. This is the first song I ever wrote, when I was 15-years-old.

There are very few effects used. In the beginning, there is a delay and a phaser modulation, but once the tremolo begins, it is simply the viola.
