NEW ALBUM - "Part Seen, Imagined Part"

My first album, produced over three years (2006-2009) and released June 23, 2009, consists of sample-based, instrumental electronic music. The album is free, with only 25 hard copies made (for my friends and family, with my own time and money). However, the album is available online:

This album's title is shared with and inspired by an 1896 watercolor painting by the famed Scottish designer and architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is a reference to the mixture of "normal music" with surreal interludes that is present on this album. Much of the music here is representative of dreams/visions of some sort ("mY MEdS StOPpEd wERkiNg", "Lucie"), warfare ("Hiroshima", "the bees"), or both ("You Wish"), so the title can also be applied to the horrors of war and a soldier's flashbacks. But don't worry; to balance all the morbidity, there are plenty of upbeat dance tracks.
