Description:
This was my longest album in the making...overall it took about 9 months! However, it represented an evolution of Js.One music. I composed every song entirely which was a departure from the days of sampling. This is a landmark album because it took my abilities as a musician to the next plateau. I performed some of the songs (‘Nowhere Man", "Julie", and "Feelin’ It") at the Baggot Inn in NYC, among my first live performances. It also documents a point in my life in which depression and uncertainty for the future seemed to take control and I moved to college. Another big difference in this album is that the final sessions were done digitally on Cool Edit Pro.
Instruments used include electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards, drum machine, and sitar (effect).
Cover Art:
The cover has three separate pictures fused together. The first is a picture of me as a child at my grandmother and aunt’s three family house. The second is merely a shot of clouds. The third is a shot of a mountain off in the distance. I think all three came together in a significant way. The overall intention was to show the child-like innocence and the span of hopes and goals, while bitter reality sets in.
