Hospital Songs Album

Hospital Songs is a document of material written intermittently during a 6 year writers block. These tracks were created over the years when I was hardly able to write and were created in numerous different pieces of software as I scrambled from one system to another in an attempt to recapture the muse that had escaped me. 
While looking back over the numerous strays and throwaways from these years I started to find some common themes forming and I realized that I had the pieces of an album in front of me, it was just a matter of sorting them out. The temptation was to try to modify these songs and improve them. After struggling for months with arrangements, I decided that I needed to leave these songs mostly unchanged from how they were when I created them. Each one documents a particular time and place in my life and to try to modify them seemed like trying to rewrite history. 
What you hear on this recording is a man who was sick and is trying to get well. 
These are the songs of my recovery. 
Reviews: 
"The distorted backings employed on nearly every track, along with melodious feedback, coincide perfectly with assorted synths to create a comprehensive array of atmospheres and a stimulating listen."
