about: Every song that is part of the 2008 Weekly Song Experiment was recorded as an improvisation while adhering to self-imposed limitations. Each song was written and recorded in a small room over the course of a week using only one microphone and free audio applications. Each piece of music/song had it's length limited to two minutes and thirty seconds.

During the tenth week of the experiment I was very sick. I had strep and I was close to pneumonia. I was still trying to work on our new house that we were building and we had just got the heat turned on. I took the laptop upstairs into the tiny bathroom we have up there and recorded this piece of music for the final week of the project. I couldn't sing at all, hell, I could barely breathe.

During the middle of this piece of music I embedded a computer voice quoting one of my favorite beginnings to a book. I think it fit perfectly with the idea of the weekly song experiment and makes a nice ending to the ten weeks.

It's from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book, The Poison Belt. It is:

The Blurring of Lines
It is imperative that now at once, while these stupendous events are still clear in my mind, I should set them down with that exactness of detail which time may blur.
