| Ghosts.in.Mirrors |
| Tue, Sep. 19 2006 |
Ghosts.in.Mirrors is a microscopic view into the depths of humanity; past, present, and future. Broken rays of light launched ahead to circle back and return to the glass from which it arose. Places less traveled become roads worn thin. The faces disappear only to remind us that we are all welcome here.

"I've had a lot of people ask about what it sounds like...I just tell them that it is really good stuff. We are using some instrumentation that sets it apart from "humming the tunes" and I'm really excited about that." ---JP |
