Aspects of the Downhill Slide.

About the album.

The project itself is a concept Album, the initial intent of which was to take a journey that reflects life and its various ups and downs. This is not perfection and was not intended as such, this is merely a series of sonic photographs that capture moments in time, the songs released on this album may not be final, however, they are organic in their creation, live studio recordings  and are in essence- 

"Where we are today".

Starting with fairly abstract titles taken from odd phrases and situations that reflect the above voyage . The intention was  to describe the hero"s journey from the call to adventure, through life's successes, together with life's failures that take the listener through this abstract argosy to a point of completion.

All recordings have taken place between January and March 2025 although some concepts were established previously. Each recording session starting with a riff of hook, together with a roll of the dice to see where each musician might take it, an evolutionary approach that can grow and nurture and perhaps one day reach maturity or at least notoriety.
