about

This album was recorded over a ten year period from 2013 to 2023.

Several of the songs on this record were created for a script I was writing which remains unfinished. It was a story of a musician who makes a Faustian pact, sells his soul for what he thinks are riches but later discovers is just pocket change. Just like the movies my songs should come with the following disclaimer - "most of the characters and events depicted in the lyrics to these songs are entirely fictitious, with similarities to persons living or dead being purely co-incidental" (a notable exception to this rule of thumb is my friend, Cody, who is mentioned in The Way of the World, he was a unique individual). There's a widespread misconception that songs are some sort of confessional, some might be, mine aren't. I always loved the cinema, and to me songs are like little movies. I have used songwriting as a process of taking on different characters the way an actor would.

In the musician credits I've listed all VST instruments, soundfonts, drum machines, and suchlike as "virtual instruments". It's not a very precise term but it does help differentiate a VST cello played with a computer keyboard from an actual cello.

This album is dedicated to my good friend, Paul Gregoire, who helped point me in the right direction all those years ago - Konrad Lenz 08-JUN-23
