The Midnight society is a project that I started in December of 2001. After completing lyrics and guitar parts for several songs I began toying with the idea of adding bass, drums, and a few other effects to the mix. With these interests in mind, I proceeded to attend a digital music class at Cornell University in which I was given the task of performing one of my songs (Washington) with the aid of some digital equipment. I sang and played guitar while the programmed bass, drums, and effects were sent from a computer through a large set of speakers. The experience proved to be exremetely rewarding for me, and the positive reactions that I received from listeners provided further motivation to turn The Midnight Society into a full blown project.
