I wanted to get a CD together to hand out at the Jam on the River on Memorial Day weekend. I felt like it was never really finished, so I didn't burn any copies. But the more I listened to it on my ipod, the more I liked this collection of songs. 

There are a bunch of grooves I made when I first got an Oxygen 8 keyboard. I usually make music with the mouse and computer, so this is some of the first stuff with me "actually" playing an instrument, which often just meant tweaking the mod wheel. 

I planned on adding vocals to tracks like Darkest Hemispheres and I've Come to Save the World but I like them this way, and it goes more with the "live" feeling anyway, to just go with what I did in the original session. 

There are a few really tight versions of songs with vocals: demons, mineking, i, and dark feast. I love these versions and especially love the bonus mineking beats later in the set. It was really cool because when I was recording vocals to the opening track, a siren went by out the window and it made the perfect intro to the set.

This was my friend Andrea's art show conclusion party. The Sideways played out on the sidewalk, and afterwards the party moved inside and I played this set. I really just played the CD and had the incredible experience of talking through my own set. This was a great small party, with members of the Disco Biscuits in the crowd as well as a few of my closest friends. This took place in between the GIVE festival in Olde City and a show I caught at the Tritone. The whole night is a drunken blur. I need to do this more often, throw down a set somewhere in the middle of a night out seeing other bands.

These are just a bunch of grooves that hopefully will evolve into full songs with lyrics. The first song is a new version of "vibration" which I first played on 12-30-03, which will be the next upload to the archive. I really like the flow of this disc, and it sounded great blaring in the coffee shop. This is the sbd of course.
