Album Notes

After a full two years touring with the Imaginary Cookies, appearances in TWO documentaries by Steve Balderson and the birth of my daughter Rowan, I decided not to take time off rather finish a solo album that's been in the works for a couple years. "Inti-matter," is short for intimate antimatter, which is the only way I know how to describe the last few years of my life. I've created my own little world to live in that's so fragile it could explode if alien elements came into contact with it.

The album was done at my home in Canton, Ohio. I played all the instruments myself, as I always like to do on a "solo" album. It just seems more fitting that way. I did break personal ground however, by inviting a few guest vocalists. Jeff Dickerson is a friend of mine whose record I'm producing, it will be my first time producing a record for someone else. That project is called "The Afterparty" and should be finished later this year. My wife Ann also makes vocal appearences, her first on a national recording.

The album was mastered in New York by Kevin Blackler, formerly of Sony Music. This also marks the first time I've used an outside source to finalize an album. That's an awfully scary thing to do, work on something for so long then let someone else finish it. I found it was needed though, cause having produced the entire thing I was far too close to the mixes to be a good judge of what needs to happen sonically when you master a record. I'm quite happy with the results.

I hope this record can be the soundtrack to a small portion of your life, and that portion be filled with all the love in the world
