Album Notes

(green)

He watches his feet,
one step in front of the other,
in a rhythm he does not control.

Beneath a white, cloud covered sky,
the vast field
presents a vibrant green which never ceases to
fill him with the life it contains.

He tries to think;
tries to reflect;
but all he can do is smile,
with his hands in his pockets,
and feel his spirit mend.

-Jeremy Bowen


Recorded when I was seventeen in various rooms of my house using borrowed equipment with no over-dubs or cuts, this recording is as honest as it gets. Except for the fact that it's me accompanying myself.


PRELUDE - two tracks of acoustic guitar
Just a simple little song to start things off in the right direction

OPENING UP - acoustic 12-string guitar and fretless electric bass
Like a blooming flower...

CELLO SONG - acoustic guitar and cello
A melodious and graceful folk song

SPIRAL - solo acoustic guitar and some electric bass
I still have trouble pulling this one off - description is in the title

TIME TO UNWIND - acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass and keyboard drums
A free jam...with myself

ODE TO REALIZATIONS - acoustic guitar and electric bass
Meditative, then quickening, like my mind after a realization, moment of clarity, enlightening thought, etc.

GREEN - solo acoustic guitar
If I had a hit single from this album, it'd be this one - poem (green) written to accompany this song

OCEANS - piano and programmed strings and drums
Leaning heavily towards techno - but not artificial enough

THANK YOU - acoustic guitar and upright bass
This song was a gift to me

STANDING AT THE LAKE'S EDGE ON A CLEAR WINTER NIGHT - acoustic guitar, piano
Inspired by the simplistic beauty of folk music and nature

UNTITLED - acoustic guitar, piano, electric bass and keyboard drums
My favorite, probably
