...despite limitations by J of First Son

This is my first production project following the recuperative effort of The Grey and preceding the third Cipher project (The Reawakening). There was a renewed sense of creativity with a specific focus on the social commentary of the time period.

I have a deep appreciation for the producers who came before me.
My production style consists chiefly of making my own music; I decided to spend some time, effort and creativity working with sampled material, as I think it is an artform unto itself. Golden age artists used what they had available to them to make music, the result being an aesthetic that opened up the world to many AND has been replicated by many throughout the world.

This is a labor of love, never meant for sale; only for listening pleasure.

This project is without cost; listen as much (or as little) as you please.
While I'd absolutely love to make a living at being creative, I realize that I'd rather be creative in my own space, on my own time and on my own terms.
