The Integrity album is underway again after being postponed. It took a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with it and what I wanted it to be, but now that has all become clear. Integrity is mostly an instrumental album that features prominent instrumentalists on top of a sympho-electro backdrop. Among solo artists appearing on it are Jay Nemor and Roland Hartwell, but I’m hoping to get Kristinn Árnason and other top notch instrumentalists as well.
Integrity is similar to a collection of instrumentals works in the way that each track is carried by a different instrument. Two are sax oriented while another pair features the violin and another the classical guitar. Now I need to find myself woodwind and piano players with own recording facilities and the mission is complete.

If you are an instrumentalist and want to participate, contact me soonest possible. I may skip Jewel, Circle or Hymn for Integrity (in which case the album name changes to Fairy) to make it a solid 10 track item.
Written way back in 1987, Winter began as a small piano part that looped repeatedly until fading back into the void from whence it was born. For some reason, a theme from Silent Night emerged on top. Initially I was going to wait with this until December but in light of events in Norway July 22 2011, I decided to make it available although it is unmastered.
