This is really the heritage of my early creative years. Songs I wrote long time ago, worth surviving, re-recorded and produced to match a certain quality to be able to actually let them go.

The album also accompanied, and sort of represents, my transition from a classic home recorder (read 4-track and sparse unimpressive peripheral devices) to a modern, yet classic-minded, DAW user with software like a dream come true on budget.

When listening, keep in mind that this is not the end of the journey (can there be an ending to developing your skills, anyway?) but rather an early phase of using today's possibilities to "musically speak my mind".

Hope you like it!

(And if you do, just let me know ...)

Important Note on Digitality:

This album was produced entirely ITB (in the box), which means *virtually* no outboard equipment of any kind has been used. (Hey, did anybody notice two sentimental exceptions?)

As regards occasional vocals, the same applies for the signal chain from directly behind recording into the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

Be aware, though, that it is not due to this fact if it all sounds like crap to you.

In case it does, the reason would be lacking capabilities and experience of the composer, arranger, musician, programmer, recording, mixing, & mastering engineer and producer (that is: me).

Well, there might be a slight impact of using not exactly hi-end software as well...
