Title:

Two Steps

Release date (d):

1999-01-18

This song has been in progress for more than a year.... it started right
after the release of Necros' "Orchard Street", where the first twenty or
so patterns were conceived. Afterwards it was left in dust and forgotten
until recently when I, with Sirrus (Bryan Rudge) started gathering songs
for Stein's sequel to Stage 9.

Needless to say over that year or so that this song was left in storage, a
lot changed about me musically. I started doing game music, getting more
CDs, keeping myself listening, studying, reading up on technology, and
furthering and deepening my interest in the art I have always loved and
aspired to become a professional at.

The listener might be able to tell exactly where I finished the song up
since it does go through many phases and doesn't necessarily follow the
strict lyric - chorus - lyric form, but the lesson for that I have learned
and will pass on in releasing it to others is that you can find
new life in your old work, and when you love the art you may find yourself
laboring at sometimes, fresh ideas will come to you, always.

This song is dedicated to three people... the first being Bruce Hornsby,
an inspiration and consumate pianist and composer, the second being
Necros, without whose original piece (and samples! haha) got this thing
started, and lastly, to Bryan Rudge, aka Sirrus, who added some
outstanding finishing touches to this piece and who has served as a
trusted friend and colleague for the last 5 years of my life.
