A version of a song by one of the greatest bands of all time, that's right it's the Beatles.  All of the parts were recorded 4 years ago in 2010 by my friends and Professor at Vancouver Island University.  It was always meant to be a vocal feature, but I never found the right person to sing the song so it sat on the shelf for years until I figured, why not make it one of the instrumental covers like I've been doing recently, so that's what I did.  The intro is from a Chopin Mazurka in which he steals the melody to this song from John Lennon!

For Everyone

In winter the flowers sleep
In spring they awaken
In summer, finally they realize their potential
In fall their heads are bowed

A teaser for an upcoming project this summer.

The Donor (DEMO)

Recorded over the summer as a part of a project featuring a "stripped back" approach.  The idea was to take songs initially composed for larger ensembles and play them as their skeleton without any "bells or whistles".  All of the tracks were recorded live with no after effects.

This song was initially written to be used as background music in a video game.

Overworld

Written in 2014 as a part of a Jewel Kingdom concept structure, under the title of Meditate Island, Lazerface was finally recorded in the summer of 2016 upon my brief return to Canada.  During this period, an album of acoustic music was recorded.  This was my antithesis of that process, doing away with the live recording technique, and performing all of the instrumental tracks by myself in an afternoon.

This song is written about a town where I had my first teaching job for the first half of the year 2015.  I will always keep the positive memories of Vanderhoof.
