Empty

by Matt Sommers

Opening with the title track (a reference to our need for fulfillment) setting the mood, this collection contains the a cappella epic "Nana", the rocker "Destroy all art!" and the Tin Lounge cover "Times r now". A couple of of ditties (Pokeeno, Stick of butter) provide some fun movement. An ancient cassette allows Jeff Sample's grandfather to sing from the grave on "Long ago". Sprinkled throughout the tracks are three vocal essays I created for Klipsch Audio (Power, Emotion and Detail). I wrote "Nasty" with Gregg Kendall. My daughter Josie sang on "Candy" after watching Willy Wonka.
