Download Completion Now.
Completion is an album that tells a story, in two parts. The first half (in the style of my Industrial music project, Social Engine [MySpace]) expresses the joy I find in being able to create music again, and quickly degenerates into an exposition of pain, stress, and the necessity to accept it as a part of my life. The second half follows my romantic pursuits in a variety of styles (see The Classic Sounds of My Life [MySpace]), ranging from neoclassical, to blues, to rock, affording the listener a rare insight into the emotional highs and lows brought on by lovers and would-be lovers.

Special Thanks:
First and foremost, I would like to thank my mother for being supportive throughout my years of musical pursuits. I couldn't imagine a life without her, and I feel truely blessed to know her every single day. Thanks to Anji for the great conversation and aesthetic inspiration. Bobby, for being one of the few guys I can actually tolerate (and also being a pretty freaking awesome guy, to boot). Taylor, for being energetic and just plain lovely. Java Jive, for allowing me to sit and brood for hours at a time. God, for just plain being the most confusing, enigmatic manifestation in my life. Mr. Mac & Mr. Martin, my music instructors in highschool (who gave me the means to perform, as well as being mentors in life). The guy who sold me the Jay Turser Resonator (sorry, forgot your name, but you rock). Fritz, for selling me the mic. A Small Orange & Bluehost for great web hosting service as of late. Missy, for providing late night conversation and an ear to hear my music. Rumor Has It, for being my favorite TMD "Treatment Center". The TMJ Association, for getting me connected with other TMD sufferers. Finally, I would like to thank my muses, lovers (past, present, and future), and all the beautiful women in my life who are just too numerous to mention. Without you, this album would only be half done.
