A project I've had sitting around for many years, brought up to speed for 2023. Originally conceived as the theme for a trance night that I and Michael McLardy ran way back when.

A cover of "Overture 1928" by Dream Theater. I played all of the guitar and bass, but all of the keys and drums are programmed. Took me a very long time to make but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Played guitar 20 years, drum nerd, software nerd, mediocre vocalist with an interest in progressive rock. Armed with Sonar X3, a whole load of spare time and an internet full of MIDI files to pull apart and have fun with.
