Opus 2 was composed in the three year period between
1999 and 2002. Despite the long period of time it took
to write the music, many of the most "magical" musical
moments and ideas that formed Opus 2 originated while in
Europe (mainly in Krakow, Poland) during the summers of
1999 and 2001. Recording began in January of 2002 and
was completed in August of 2003. Mixing and mastering
occurred in September and October of 2003.
The pieces that form Opus 2 are autobiographical in
their expression of personal thoughts, emotions, ideals,
events, regrets and desires. The compositions are like
journal entries of a diary. This idea began with Opus1
and is greatly expanded upon here. It is our desire that
the listener will focus one's hearing on all the
different layers and levels of this music in its
entirety and not only on all the guitar playing.
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
