about

I've been working on this record since 2004. At this point, I doubt I'll ever finish it. I took a hiatus on production when I had computer problems so bad that I basically can't put in the faceplate for my sound card, and now I can't conveniently attach my viola to my computer. Eventually, I want this to get resolved, but I'm going to need hell of money (compared to what I have, now), and may eventually have to resort to a GoFundMe page, to do it.
