1.	Cross Dimensional Analysis (2020 Version) 06:14	lyrics	buy track
Desolate Worlds I have traveled In search of the fifth essence The secretive dark matter That spans eons and light years Correlations!!! Correlation of parallel hate To figure out the equation of death The infinite possibilities Overwhelming the mind's eye I have torn apart atoms and studied the quark The discovery of life's equation I took it's derivative, the inverse function* The equation of death, to extinguish all life The differential black hole gateway I am being torn apart atom by atom Being spread across each and every universe Time cannot hold my essence Transcending parallel doorways Gateways to other dimensional worlds Travelling wormholes to the furthest reaches Represented in a four dimensional line of sight *This is just bad mathematics. The derivative is NOT the inverse function, I can't stress that enough. Derivatives are, basically, just your velocity. I think I was just being young and stupid and throwing around math terms. Now that I actually know about Calculus I can point out how wrong this is. I decided to leave the error in the lyrics to preserve this child-like view of intelligence.
2.	Viral Storm (2020 Version) 06:27	lyrics	buy track
Fear life Praise A new chapel of humanity Genetically engineered to survive Life patterns dissolve Whilst we breathe A new teaching Of higher intelligence Breathe, human error No Life No Life Anguish, pain, terror! No life No life Differentiate life's unmeaning Integrating new DNA patterns Forced evolution terror strain Evolve from machinations of pain Viral Storm C11H26NO2PS* I will be free Virally** modified they stand around me * I have no idea what this chemical formula is anymore. I think I had been watching the movie The Rock and looked up VX Gas or something stupid. ** This is not a word, I took great joy in making adjustments to English and just making up variants from time to time.
3.	Gravitational Discord 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Discordant passages Through nonlinear time Corrupting and churning Devouring all Circling Falling Crawling Ever towards the center Craving that final journey The burning starfire blinding The unforgiving expanse Cowering in the darkening silence Merging constants that vary The opposing and unfathomable In utter darkness crawling To timeframes unknown The unkempt shelves Ever opening causes of strife The sought answers The looming questions A quiet rest of passion Death carressing on Discordant wings Forever circling

about

These recordings were made during the Covid-19 quarantine and had me reminiscing about old songs I wrote such as "Viral Storm". I decided to re-record a couple of these old songs. I tried to delve even further into the back catalog but the material just got too boring or so poorly written I would not have enjoyed playing it again. However, I really enjoyed these two songs so I decided to re-record them now that they're almost 20 years old. In addition I attempted to write a song in the spirit of I.S.o.S. and while it is much shorter, it is not a bad addition to the catalog. This is all in homage to my long dead project.

The original material was very poorly recorded in a hybrid of a 2 input four track and a computer using Cakewalk. The original audio files are long since gone. Nothing in the original material was set to a metronome, so re-structuring this material to a metronome was quite a chore, which is why there are so many sudden changes in this material. It's quite a trip.

about

ISoS Massachusetts

I.S.o.S. was the fever dream of a young boy of 13 or 14 in the mid-90's who just learned how to play guitar and had a lot of bad music to share with the world.

He didn't know how to use a metronome or how to play drums, but he made music anyway. It was haphazard, it made no sense, and it was often way off time. But here we are... an attempt to re-record some old songs. I.S.o.S. is a dead project. ... more
