This is a parody of sorts about children playing with toys who then grow up to wage real wars.  Although the bells probably seem very random, they are actually carefully timed. They split apart and join back together in a deliberate manner.  The strange bends of the Kyoto also might sound like mistakes but play into the intended nature of this being a parody.  Even to this day, I get a laugh out of the wood block ticking away alongside the massive war drums.

This track does not have any deep meaning.  This represents me being playful and silly. It's about monkeys, congos, bongos and ridiculousness. It has quite a solid bass if played with a powerful subwoofer. It's a bit sentimental to me because one of my best friends who has passed away used to love it. The intro was surely inspired by Donkey Kong.

This song depicts a somewhat dark but mixed time period of my life. For me, it is somewhat sad but with an undertone of hope mixed in. The section in the middle with all the strange noises was meant to represent an eclipse. The name represents how things go dark but do not remain so always (hopefully)

Mourning Sun was an experiment in playing with song structure in terms of verses and choruses.  It has repetition in it of course, but I wanted to make something which meandered without well defined boundaries from beginning to ending.  It was written after Spaced Out which also had a similar design goal with it's piano intro.

My intent with this song was to dabble in more subtle sounds and break away some from the typical. I also wanted to try adding an additional theme to the album. This is the spooky one.

I write music but I've only shared it with a few people in past. This is all older, unpublished work of mine written using the name RaidZero, and the album "Flipcide". I also write poetry. I decided recently to share my work. I'm interested in feedback and meeting people with similar interests. I am very new on here and still in the process of uploading and setting things up. Flipcide is dedicated to JRW. Thanks for listening, have a great day! -Zog
