After the Remnants project I was anxious to explore other musical avenues and production techniques. Equipped with some new 8 track gear, this effort resulted in the DMZ project. Conceptually, this collection is about the process of growing up - moving past the innocence of the early days and entering the potentially dangerous realm of adulthood where the results of your actions are what eventually define your existence.

In the original artwork, the following words were offered as a preface.

Once there was a time
A time of distant vision
Hopes and dreams of better days
The genesis of errant ways

But then across a void unseen
A quest beyond a mortal's reach
Glance behind as bridges burn
A path that offers no return

Slowly fear and passion fade
Through purging flames a strength remains
Knowing where you now must be
Welcome to the DMZ
