Problem is, I didn’t want to go to the trouble of using an amp or anything, so I plugged the Tele’o'doom direct and used some free plugins for the sound.
I recorded this at the end of 2008 for my own personal use, but I thought someone out there might want it. It’s a full “band”: drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitars, and it really cuts through any background noise.
I’ve never not heard this when my phone isn’t on silent.

Tetelestai is an ancient greek word which according to the Gospel of John was the last thing that Jesus uttered before his death. It means “It is finished”.
It was also the basic meaning of the suite I’ve been writing over the past few months.
After 137 straight weeks of new songs, which have amassed almost 11000 total downloads I need to stop the constant punishing pace of creativity.
It has been great to have the deadline to force the creativity out of me, before this I had only written a small handful of songs, and now I have hundreds. It has also been great for me, both as a musician and as a person, my skills have grown and many of the darker elements of my soul have been able to be poured out through my music.
Since those two areas of growth were the reason I started this insanity in the first place, and with the time I spent on it needing to be reallocated to my studies, it is time to stop the weekly song schedule.
Not that ChaotiMusic.com is completely finished. I will return, but only when a song is ready.
Verse 1:
Breathe it in
As you step
From within
Pretend that it is fresh
In the air
You will let
The despair
Soak right into your flesh
Chorus:
The cloying stench of false freedom
Verse 2:
Round and round
You can’t stop
The unsound
Corruption of all you know
You’ve heard this
All before
You won’t miss
Once I finish the show
Bridge:
This bridge is written
To end this chapter
A purge of the darkness
That lived within
Not that its over
Or that I’m pure
But now I must say
It is finished

Oh…. really?
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I feel my hopes soaring
With each step I take
I feel my hopes soaring
From this dream awake
Think as I approach
What will I there find?
Think as I approach
Leave it all behind
Chorus:
Feeding back to scorched earth
Verse 2:
The end’s getting closer
But is it what it seems?
The end’s getting closer
Fraying at the seams
Can’t escape the madness
Even in the light
Can’t escape the madness
Now its just real bright

What is that?
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I trek along on this dark journey
And I wonder when this all might end
The road is long and I’m getting nowhere
How much more can this path extend
Chorus:
And then I see something up ahead
The first rays of tunnel’s end
Verse 2:
The crushing depths where this road began
Are well matched by where I’ve travelled through
I’ve groped along like a lost blind man
As the pain upon me does accrue
Bridge:
Walk towards, the bright light
Walk onwards, taste delight
Walk towards, the bright light
Walk onwards, do not fight
So there’s this competition, you can win a bunch of stuff including a guitar.
