This album is a collection of 58 tracks I composed between the years 2002 and 2018. It includes demos, unfinished sketches, experiments, never-before-released tracks, early or alternate versions of previously released material, and other pieces that have never appeared on an album before now. The tracks on this album are in various states of completion and polish, but as it's meant to be an archival record of how my composing and production skills have evolved over time, I've left each track almost entirely unaltered from its original state.

At the end of each track name I've included the year in which I composed the piece. You can calculate from there how old I was when the piece was written and how many years into my life as a self-taught composer I was using the following data:

Born: 1984
First instrument (guitar): 2000 or 2001
First DAW and MIDI controller: 2003

I've taken an indefinite hiatus from composing and arranging while I focus on other things that bring me happiness. But I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my musical past that has remained largely unheard until now. Thank you very much for all the support you've shown me and my music over the years. Maybe someday down the line I'll release some new work. Until then, stay safe, healthy, and be good to one another!
