Having a girlfriend that can share vocal duties inspired me to write pop songs. Most of the songs were recorded at the same time with jaki, but I messed up my hard drive and lost all my data. I had to later re-record this album. At least I did burn a master mix of vs jaki prior my hard drive got wiped out. Very heartbreaking to do all the work again.

This album was recorded at the time of the original recording of Save Your Own Whale. Initially I needed some background noise for the more pop sounding Save. I ended recording more and more noise which ended on this separate album.

This is a darker and meaner extension of Ambient 7. Focusing more on sound than melody.

Sounds like the title suggests. I this point I went delay crazy. This is what 5 delays plus a ton of reverb does.

Like every guitar pedal geek, you play at home and come up with what you think are great sounds but that won?t find its way into a band setting. Finally I decided to put the sounds and ideas I into a recording. This is the output, something that?s all over with various instruments and non-instruments.

Miscellaneous deadArt songs:
1. Radio [5:12] [MP3]
2. George [4:21] [MP3]
3. Sanity [3:56] [MP3]

DiE ROCKERS DiE dierockersdie.com (2003-2009) Was started by champ (Magick Orchids, Mamas Joy) and me with an ever evolving sound and line-up. I learned a lot during this time.
