It took me a year and a half to complete in its entirety, often scrapping and re-recording. It was a HUGE learning process for me, writing, producing, and even playing. I also stretched my voice to its limits at points. I recorded it in chronological order, you can hear the growth as the song progresses. This really means a lot to me though. I hope you can enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed creating it. If you like it, please don't be afraid to share it around.


I like it Kyle. A well written and new sounding addition to the prog-rock genre. Your performance belie's your young age. The influence of the band Rush is evident in a very good way but your own inventiveness shows through and that is refreshing. Keep going and you will get attention from all of the right music people.

The guitar tone is killer and the bass stands out really well in the recording. Nice work!

Got to start off my morning with your music, Kyle. Nice. Thanks for the post.

It shows that you are an accomplished musician/composer and arranger. I liked your concept and your voice. All your hard work has paid off for our enjoyment. Keep it up, and the rewards are sure to come your way.

Nice job Kyle! Sounds like it was a fun project to work on. For more inspiration, if you haven't already, you should listen to Tarkus by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

Pretty cool stuff, Kyle. 8) You have a band to do this live, or you just doing studio work now?

Yeah, I know what you mean. We've been looking for a guitarist for 12 years. We did find someone recently who actually likes the same music we do and so far has remained interested in working with us without flaking out yet. We'll see how it goes, though. I tell you, it's a lot easier working with professional musicians who played with famous people than it is to find some local yocal who thinks they have to compete with said musicians (which they don't have to,) or can't deal with the fact the project is created by a female singer song writer. I guess the male guitarist ego is too threatened because of sexism. :roll:

Great stuff, especially from about 10:00 to the end. It does get more complex.
I had to pick up my guitar and jam along. (Quite convenient that I have my computer audio OUT running into the AUX IN of my Mustang I amp.)
To me it sounds fairly polished without being over-produced, if you get my meaning. You can hear "how it's made", like being able to taste the individual ingredients in a stew.

thanks, unfortunately at this point I'm having a hard time finding people to play with at all. Especially those who want to play this kind of stuff and are able to play it. I don't this this particular work will ever see a stage.

That would be too bad, because it sounds perfect for live performance.

You. Rock.

Great concept, arrangement and performance.

A disclaimer here: I'm not a big fan of prog-rock...yet this kept my interest all the way to the end. I heard touches of the (aforementioned) Rush and ELP in various sections (movements?).

Your skills as a musician, a producer, a songwriter and an arranger are faaaaaar beyond your years.

Keep it up...and don't forget us when you get famous!

First off Kyle congrats for sticking with it, a year and a half in the making shows, at any age, dedication and skill to stick it all together as you've done, impressed at first hearing and not any less after 4th or 5th now.
Like others, I also heard your influences also others, you might like a listen to Wishbone Ash album Argus .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH244IPXySE
Congrats again and thanks for sharing.
