Mon Amie La Rose
Description:
Cover of a French song originally performed by Francoise Hardy - you can find the original on YouTube. I was introduced to the song via Natacha Atlas' interpretation. Started work on this with a different vocalist in mind but her schedule hasn't yet permitted and then this P5 challenge came up so I opted to go it alone. The P5 challenge has culminated in a downloadable mp3 album with very cool artwork by :10:. There may also yet be a not-for-profit CD available soon. Have a listen to the album at http://www.sforsythe.net/Melancholic.htm.

Nearly Everything
Description:
Electronic pop without a chorus?? I don't know. Inspired by something from the book A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. A good read, incidentally. Oh, and I finally use my electric guitar in something original.

Vertical
Description:
This was originally meant to be a mono.log track but then momentum got the better of me and I ended up finishing it solo.  It is inspired by a case mentioned in a book that I have been reading called The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, M.D.  Incidentally, the girl was cured of her issues but that would be too happy to sing about.
Enjoy.

Amie Saramelkonian was kind enough to let her beautiful poem "Bespoke" be subjected to the mono.log treatment.  Thank you Amie.
