Face First

This track answers the question "what if Tool wrote 'My Wave' instead of Soundgarden?"

I woke up with this already written one day - turns out it is basically Tool's 46 & 2...oh well

With Your Soul Gone

Atom asked for a bass-centric outro to his sci-fi influenced song "Hope 1," so I went off the deep end into Victor Wooten Land, with lots of two-handed tapping, chordal playing, and harmonics.

Hope 1 Bass Outro

Here are a few excerpts of disco funk bass playing from Atom's "The Lighthouse Keeper" album!

This tune actually began as contest with myself in 2009 - I wanted to see if I could write an "authentic"-sounding pop/rock tune using some harmonic and melodic idioms I'd heard in hard rock tunes (especially some more recent power ballads).  In fact, when I started writing this track, I called it "VedderDaughtryDT" because I wanted it to sound like Eddie Vedder singing a Chris Daughtry song with the rhythm section parts played by Dream Theater's musicians.  I later turned it into an instrumental, played the instruments myself, and mixed/mastered this track with some guidance from David Nielsen.
