Dialog - The Broken Chord (Sylvia) “It is time for us to start working on our songs.” (Paul) “This is NOT fair! We should be together… “physically”, when we work on OUR songs.” (Sylvia) “This is where we are now. Things will change very soon but we need to begin creating our music.” (Paul) “We are NEVER supposed to be separated from each other! I HATE this Chapter of our LIFE!” (Sylvia) “You can do this.” (Paul) “I CAN’T do this… I’m a Drummer!… and not a very good one.” (Sylvia) “You are MY Drummer and you are the best I have ever heard.” (Paul) “I’m not a Keyboard player. There’s no way “I” can ever begin to play your 10-finger Chords. I’m not sure of the sounds you want to use… and this is a new Keyboard… I haven’t figured it out yet. This is all so overwhelming and…” (Sylvia) “…I will help you. We will work together on this. I will work through you. “WE” can do this.” (Paul) “Alright. Let’s do this.”

Refractionary Landscape We can do this. We will remain linked to each other across the Veil. Remember, “All things ARE possible, IN-finity”. Me: I don’t know. I just don’t know! Sylvia: smeeS tI tahW sI gnihtoN (Nothing is what it seems) maebratS eht stcelfer rorrim ehT (The mirror reflects the Starbeam) (We are linked across the Veil) (Our Love will never fail) Me: Everything is so surreal. My world is now fractured. Everywhere I look… the landscape is refractionary. “Nothing is what it seems” I am holding you. I will always be with you. I will guide you. You and I make “US”. We are “One”. We are “timeless”. Our Love… can find a way to cross the boundaries that stand in our way. Our Light… can guide us through along the Mobius you know I’ll guide you. We found each other once AGAINST ALL ODDS! Our Love is linked across the Veil ACROSS THE ENDLESS STARS! Our Love, my Love will find a way. I’m here with you always. Don’t focus on the echoes. LOOK DEEP INTO THE AETHER! That’s where our Love grows. Our Life… together as one linked across the Veil we’ve only just begun! smeeS tI tahW sI gnihtoN (Nothing is what it seems) maebratS eht stcelfer rorrim ehT (The mirror reflects the Starbeam) (We are linked across the Veil) (Our Love will never fail)

SearchLight 06:28
SearchLight We’re never taught how to grieve. Our emotions on our sleeve. Knowing the Love we share… This separation is too MUCH too bear! I look for your SearchLight every day. I check for cracks in the Veil in every way. I hold our Love sacred. I hold our Life dear. This reality has restrained me tied up with fear. Society says I’ll never see you, again. …but I know I know there’s more to us. …and I know …I just know Thanks to your Visions I keep holding on… So… I… Look for your SearchLight every day. I check for cracks in the Veil in every way. I know that your SearchLight is Guiding me. The cracks in this Veil will bring us to our True, Reality. I know that your SearchLight is waiting there. I search for your SearchLight carefully aware! I know our Love pierces this Veil …but this illusion tries to restrain me… tied me up with fear. Society says I’ll never see you, again. but I know our Love is piercing this Veil. …and I know … I just know Thanks to your Visions I keep holding on. So… I… Look for your SearchLight every day. I check for cracks in the Veil in every way. I know that your SearchLight is Guiding me. So… I… Look for your SearchLight every day.

I count the days, since you’ve been gone but the weeks… the weeks are adding up I…know… I’ve… had enough We pledged our lives t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r those oh-so many… years… ago We said our love will last f-o-r-e-v-e-r You… know… I’ll… never… let… you go!

Dialog - Inextinguishable (Cabal) You should not touch things which don’t belong to you. (Paul) Who are you? (Cabal) I am the Controller of all things. (Paul) What?… Wait a minute… Even as a cowardly Hologram, I recognize who you are… You’re the Cabal. You’ve kept us mindless, asleep and trapped here for eons. (Cabal) I control everything you do. (Paul) I’m not part of your Mind Games any more… and there are LOTS of us who have now awakened. (Cabal) Hey!… That Veil is dangerous. You should move away from there before you’re hurt. (Paul) Since when did YOU ever care about ME?… No! I think you don’t want me inching through this Veil because you’re afraid I’ll succeed. (Cabal) Why that’s preposterous! I’ve never been afraid of anything. It’s YOU who should be afraid, little man. (Paul) No! You now realize the “99-percent” are waking-up and you really ARE scared… THAT’S why you suddenly showed yourself today. (Cabal) Well you’ll never make any headway through that Veil. It’s 10-miles high and 1-mile thick! (Paul) My wife is on the other side of this Veil and I would re-order the planets, to get her back… and I’ll do it all while deflecting everything YOU could ever throw at me! If you want to send in your Mind Slaves and cross me over to the other side of the Veil… guess what? “I” win! I will then be with My Sylvia. If I make it through this Veil before you can affect my actions, guess what? “I” STILL win and it’s Game Over for YOU! (Cabal) But… (Paul) Either way… YOUR days of controlling THIS planet and its inhabitants are numbered. WE are taking back our TRUE reality. You’d better start packing your things because I WILL get through this Veil. (Cabal) But… (Paul) Wait a minute… you already know this… You know this because THAT’S why you’re here. You want to discourage me before the “99-percent” take back their lives and this planet… and bring YOU to justice. As I said, YOU BETTER START RUNNIN’

Ominous Vectris …and the people thought me mad. I feel your presence I hear your voice I see the dreams you shine on me We are one …and the people thought me mad. We are the same candle We glow a single flame The magic that we are together …will bring you back again. …and the people thought me mad. I hold the Light of our Love I fold the page of Time I see your smile on the horizon We are Love …and the people thought me mad. We grow the Love of Light We stand aboard tomorrow The magic that we share together …will ignite our inner glow. …and still the people thought me mad. I feel you behind me I catch your scent in the air I know our Love will set us free We are Love …and still the people thought me mad.

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream. Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Enter your Heart and go through the “Veil” This is now the key.

Time Machine 05:05
Time Machine Like a rock in Space we tumble separated by a wall. Now we race together for a way to make it fall. Time and distance have no consequence It’s up to you and I to show Humanity this old reality It’s just a blink of the eye I’m gonna build a time machine To take me back before we met (we first meet) And you’ll know that we are meant to be And we’ll spend our time (lifetime) side by side every day There’s no denying our Love Shielded by our Love we can brave any storm Now we’re linked across the “Veil” Of this mission we can never fail You had to go. You told me so. I’m gonna steal a StarShip tonight To take me to the other side Knowing you wait for me just as I wait for you And we’ll spend our time (our new lifetime) side by side every day There’s no denying our Love We hold our hands Across the “Veil” Together we are L O V E Together we spread M A G I C Love undeniable Love indescribable O N E We are O N E I’m gonna build a time machine To take me back before we met You’ll feel our Love naturally And we’ll spend our time (lifetime) side by side every day There’s no denying our Love I’m gonna steal a StarShip tonight And get me to the other side. Knowing you wait for me just as I wait for you Activate the Systems Energize the Lasers… and punch a hole right through that “Veil” I will find you Nothing can stop me “It’s all an illusion.” I’m gonna build a time machine To take me back before we met And you’ll know that we are meant to be I’m gonna build a time machine To take me back before we met You’ll feel our Love naturally I’m gonna build a time machine I’m gonna build a time machine I’m gonna build a T I M E (repeating echo and fade)

Mergible Inertia - Dialog I don’t understand this! What just happened to us? You were here and now you’re not here! We’re married… WE are STILL married to each other. We’re always together… but now I can’t find you. I can’t see you. I can’t hear you. This makes no sense. Where are you? I need you here! and you need me there! I really hate THIS Chapter of our life! You told me to “Hold our space”… …and right after you crossed-over, you actually said: “The Veils are getting thinner. I will be with you soon”. I heard you. In my own ears. I heard you say that. You mentioned that we’d be working on this album together… and we are. …but I sometimes think you asked me to do this just to give me something to do until the “Veil” is removed. During our last “physical” years together, you encouraged me to work on my psychic abilities. I remember that… and now I know why.… Some part of you knew this would happen and wanted me to exercise those energies within me, in order to “sense” you and “communicate” with you “now”. I do NOT understand ANY of this! I know that, on some level, you and I did this. We did this together. Maybe, before we incarnated this time, our Higher Selves stood back and realized what was going to happen to this “reality”… to this very “illusion”. I’m sensing that you’re agreeing with me. …and maybe, because of our powerful and unquestionable Love for each other, we need to anchor the Light on each side of the “Veil”. So we decided to temporarily separate “physically” from each other, in order to accomplish this… …and… once the “Veil” is dissolved, you and I will be reunited with each other. I’m sensing you’re nodding your head “yes”. So I just have to be patient? I HATE being separated from you! We belong to each other! We ARE each other! Alright. Alright. I’ll do the best I can “here”, while you are “there”. We’ll just continue to work through the “Veil” until the “Veil” is no more. Thank you for staying by my side.

Shining Armor My knight, in shining armor. You may come looking for me. Looking everywhere. Here, by your side, I’ll be. I see you there but your mind cannot pierce this Veil. I wish I could hold you, again. Wrap my arms around you my…Twin…Soul You reach for me and I feel you… but you don’t see me standing here right here, beside you. I send you hope, in your Dreams. I send you Visions of your True, reality. Hold our space. I will return… my Love. We share our Life now, in our Dreams. You see the Visions… of who we are. We are One. We are Love… in Love… my Love. You are my knight, in shining armor. We’ve traveled the destinies. Together everywhere. Here, at each other’s side. Our Life… Our Journey… Does not end here.

Perfectionately Yours There’s something… I want you to know. Since that time we looked up and gazed at the sky… Since the beginning when birds first began to fly… Since the dawn of time… Since that first day and night… I’ve been Perfectionately Yours. Perfectionately Yours. I remember when it all began. We sat on the edge of the Universe and watched the Stars begin to shine When I first looked at you your smile lit up the Galaxy. Your my symphony. There’s something… I want you to know. Since that time we held hands and I gazed into your eyes… Since the beginning when you first spoke to me… Since the dawn of time… Since that first day and night… I’ve been Perfectionately Yours. Perfectionately Yours. In the beginning it was just you and I We stood on the top of the mountains and watched them paint in the sky. When you first took my hand your caress made the Stars start to spin Your my everythin’ I’ve been YOURS forever. I need nothing more. We’ll go ON forever. It’s you I adore. Our LOVE knows no bounds We live our life as one We LIVE in the now Our Love is perfection Since the dawn of time… Since that first day and night… I’ve been Perfectionately Yours. Perfectionately Yours.

about

This is a "concept" album. We designed each Track so it would be played "in order" and without any gaps between the songs. The best listening experience is through headphones. We positioned "Night Of A Thousand Years" as the "representative song", here on BandCamp, but if you enjoy it, please start with this album's first Track: "Dialog - The Broken Chord". They will each play, in succession and without any gaps between them.

Also, as a Bonus for purchasing this album, you will receive the accompanying Poster in your download. It contains all the Lyrics, some artwork and some comments about most of the Songs as well as the music gear we used to create these incredible sounds.

-----

Sylvia and I make-up the band "Infinity". We both moved from opposite ends of the United States, at different times, and met in New Mexico in 1980. In 1987 we were married. In 2011, we spent 3 horrible weeks in hospice and on 4/9/11 My Sylvia "crossed-over".

We've been Musicians all our lives but "life" kept getting in the way and our music career was pushed into the background. Several months before Sylvia "crossed", she said it was Time for us to change our life and focus everything on making music. While in hospice, we talked about this again. A few months after Sylvia "crossed", she indicated that "it's Time for us to start working on OUR songs." (Our "original" songs.)

For many more months, I dragged my feet, not wanting to start this album, because, even now, I still feel that overwhelmingly-crushing emptiness of her not being right here with me. On some days, it's difficult to function more than I have to.

In 2014, we finally began working on this album. I don't "Channel" Sylvia but I can, somehow, "sense" what she's suggesting. She sends me images, dreams, insights, feelings and more than I could find words for.

Sylvia works on the songs from "her" side of the "Veil". When she's ready to send me that song, I'll "just know". She sent most of these songs to me as pieces... melodic phrases, sound ideas, rhythms, lyrics, etc. It's then my job to "assemble" everything into an actual "song".

I know "I" didn't write these songs. Although I have written a few songs in the past, mine have very basic melodies and almost no harmony. The songs on this album are well-crafted, have interesting melodies, supportive harmonies and insightful lyrics. THAT'S how My Sylvia writes music. So I know these came from her.

Sylvia plays Keyboards, is an excellent Singer and Composes. I'm a Drummer and Synthesist (sound designer).

The "male" voice on this album, except for the computer-generated voice in "Dialog - Inextinguishable", is me. All my life, I've been a Drummer and Synthesist. Many times I thought I was a "Singer" but after doing this album... I'm NOT a Singer. I told Sylvia I couldn't sing those songs but she said "This is what we have to work with" and she gave me a few singing and breathing lessons (from "the other side"). So we go through it.

The "female" voice, representing "Sylvia", is computer software from Yamaha and is called "Vocaloid - Cyber Diva". Although "she" sings fairly well, she doesn't "talk". In a couple of songs, especially "Dialog - The Broken Chord", I had to program her to talk. She didn't do a very good job of it but her "talking-style" does lend itself to the mysteriousness of working through the "Veil".

Some of the songs Sylvia sent me were very complicated. At least for "me". For example, Sylvia wanted "Night Of A Thousand Years" to a "Symphonic" piece. As I was exploring possible instrument sounds, from our music gear, I had to remember to stay within her guidelines of using "traditional instruments" played in their "traditional style". In other words, I couldn't use an Analog Synthesizer, to create the sound of a Timpani and I couldn't play that (virtual) instrument higher or lower than a standard Timpani's melodic range. I had to use a real-recorded (sampled) "Timpani" and play it properly.

Probably the most difficult song for me to bring-through from Sylvia AND to actually "play", is "Time Machine". This song has different "Time Signatures" (3/4, 4/4, 5/4), "Styles" (March, Rock, etc.), "Tempos" and many different sounds. It took me quite a while to put that puzzle together. The drum part alone took me 2-weeks to figure out and practice before I could play it all the way through in a single recording.

Between my Roland electronic drumset and my Octapad, the Time Machine "drum part" required me to play 20 Pads, which produced 23 sounds. The “hollow wood” sound and “high, bell” sound are “Velocity Switched” from the same Pad (on the Octapad). These “sounds” and “Pads” include the use of 2 Cymbal Pads as well as a Hi-Hat pedal and 2 Bass Drum pedals (on 2 different Bass Drum Pads, which means I had to move my foot between them while playing this song).

Although "Perfectionately Yours" is a "concept album"... about me and Sylvia and our journey "together" and "through hospice" and now waiting to be reunited with each other again... the "songs" and "feelings", brought here through our bond across the "Veil", may help others deal with their own portion of "Loss".

Keep in mind that this album will take the Listener through those powerful emotions of losing your "Significant Other"... chaos, confusion, disorientation, anger, sadness, hopefulness, etc.
