These are all demo recordings, I'm currently recording my first full-length CD to be released late this year, which will include several of these songs. The album My Dreams Are Running Late, is being tracked/engineered and co-produced at CrookedSound in Lansing, Michigan by Eric Merckling.
Below, you'll find information about THE AUTHORLESS PROJECT, another experimental collaborative project I've been working on since fall of 2008. If you'd like to be part of AUTHORLESS, it is an open-source approach to songwriting starting with some of the other demos in the player above. You can support AUTHORLESS, see details below.
AUTHORLESS is an emerging musical experiment, set for launch August 1, 2008. Ten demo songs are offered to musicians of all backgrounds and levels of notoriety, with the understanding that the songs may be altered in any way -- rearranged, rewritten, or reimagined. Then passed on to a new group of musicians to alter even further. After the songs have been through six stages of changes, all versions go to Paul Roessler (The Screamers, .45 Grave, Nina Hagen) to be ultimately mixed and mastered into one full-length album -- no doubt in a vastly different form than the "root demos" in the SNOCAP store above. You can help AUTHORLESS succeed by purchasing the tracks above. As new versions arrive, they will be added to the store. Since this is a fundraiser for AUTHORLESS, each track is $0.99, or you can buy all ten root demos as a package for under ten bucks. Both ways help a lot! To participate in AUTHORLESS, drop me a message!
