                                                                                 1. Undulations is a multi-section song, the first section contains organ accompaniment,
                                                                    with relatively straight rock drums and fast guitar parts, the second part has synthesized guitar
                                                                    with a little more driving drums and organ flourishes, the third section uses techno based percussion,
                                                                    with fast harmony guitar (that is the guitar sound is composed of the root note,
                                                                    one part at a higher pitch than the root and one part at a lower pitch than the root)


                                                                  2. Eastern n Western Synthesis contains melodic percussion from the Eastern part of the world

                                                                       with Japanese percussion and distorted wah-wah guitar played at a relatively fast pace. 
                                                                       I suppose that this could be classified as World Music
since it fuses Eastern and Western instrumentation.



                                                                  3. Unleashed contains fast guitar with frequent two-hand tapping complemented with driving

                                                                     rockish drums and organ that is also played relatively fast, but there are frequent tempo changes. 
                                                                      It is perhaps the most straightforward song on the album.  The piece ends quite abruptly.

                                                                   
                                                                   4. Andromeda is a spacey type song named for the galaxy that is closest to ours, the Milky Way
                                                                       It contains melodic percussion sounds that have frequent pitch changes, the second section is more                                                                                        frantic/aggressive, with fast synthesized guitar and some synthesized sounds.

                  
                                                                 
5.  Environmental Disturbances is partially auto-biographical about my difficulty working in a typical                                                                                           office/corporate environment.  There are acoustic drum sounds that are played in free time and the                                                                                          guitar is played relatively slowly and is distorted at first.
                                                                     The songs proceeds to include electronic drum sounds with faster harmony and synthesized guitar.                                                                                           
The final section contains various delay effects on my vocals and chaotic electronic percussion sounds.                                                                                   The lyrics to this song were improvised.
                                                                       

                                                                  6.  March of the Insane is a modern classical piece that utilizes piano with strings,
                                                                       orchestral and melodic percussion, begins relatively calm and mellow, contains some
                                                                       pitch shifting with the piano/strings, progresses to more frenetic and aggressive playing and
                                                                       concludes with sustained piano/strings.


                                                                   7.  Quarkoids uses electronic percussion sounds with synthesized guitar sounds and is kind of hard space                                                                                        music, for lack of a better term, the second section is slightly calmer/mellow.
                                                                       The final section uses electronic and acoustic drum sounds with fast distorted guitar and is more                                                                                             aggressive than the previous section interspersed with calmer parts
                                                                        FYI, Quarks are subatomic particles.

                                                                    
                                                                     8. Kinetic Splat is hard space music with electronic percussion sounds that frequently change pitch
                                                                         with fast harmony guitar that also changes tempo frequently.


                                                                    
9. Realization of Oneself is a four section vocal song, the lyrics for the first three parts were
                                                                         written, the last part was improvised.  The music for the first section contains rockish drums
                                                                         and distorted guitar, the second section contains techno based percussion with harmony guitar,
                                                                         the third section is more spacey with the first two lines delayed, it also contains fast organ parts
                                                                         and electronic percussion sounds with delay/reverb effects and the guitar uses ring modulation,
                                                                         which gives it a very spacey/otherworldly texture.  The fourth and final section contains fast                                                                                                      distorted/wah-wah guitar with some two-handed tapping, electronic/synthesized percussion sounds.
                                                                         The sound concludes in a frenzy of guitar, percussion and vocals.
                                                                          The lyrics could be about any number of things: a person that is delusional,
                                                                          under the influence of any number of substances, having a nightmare/very weird dream,
                                                                          has an extrememly vivid imagination or something else altogether, the listener decides.

                                                               
                                                                     10. Amniotic is a spacey piece that calm synthesized string sounds with orchestral and melodic percussion
                                                                         and
fast harmony/wah-wah guitar that progresses to pitch-shifted harmony guitar with some two-hand
                                                                         tapping, the piece becomes darker with some extreme volume swells towards its conclusion.
                                                                        
                                                                        

                                                                   
11. Indoelectrolysticity uses gamelean percussion (Indonesian), synthesizer sounds that are swirling
                                                                    and somewhat cacophonic along with melodic and more rockish percussion that changes tempo,
                                                                     time signature, key frequently

                                                                   12. Post Gravitational Force is a modern classical piece that contains piano with string sounds played                                                                                       slowly with some mellow guitar.

                                                                  
13. Cosmosism is pure space music with guitar that uses volume swells and played at a slow tempo along                                                                                         with very spacey synthesizer sounds.  It is a fairly calm, relaxing piece of music.   
                                                                              

                                                                 14.  Aspergers is an avant guarde/experimental piece that begins with vocal gibberish in normal speed, then                                                                                    it is played at half speed, then normal speed, and from there  i  say various things 
                                                                      that are all delayed the  instrumentation consists of  various electronic percussion effects and                                                                                                  synthesized sounds.  There is no guitar on this piece.  At one point i play my drum sticks on various parts                                                                                      of my keyboard (though not the keys).  I frequently hold notes for as long as i can and go from low to                                                                                          high and vice versa.  In essence this is a very weird piece.
                                                                              


                                                                  15. Novatron is a space music piece of a dark character that uses alien-like sounds on the guitar with
                                                                       foreboding synthesizer sounds and percussion.
