Those of you who have heard any of the songs from my forthcoming CD "While There's Still Time" know that it's a dramatic departure in style from my last CD. This is especially true of "Plausible Denial," a free-form, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants affair. This was the final song completed for the CD.

After a hectic 4th of July weekend recording Michael Newman's "These Hands" and Tony Castanon's "Words You Say," I was still keyed up on my music high and energy drinks when Mike & Tony left. I started fooling around at the keyboards and eventually punched "record." It only took about 3 takes and a couple overdubs and viola, a nearly 7-minute epic was born.

I was able to mix & master the track right then and gave it a title. I've always loved the phrase "plausible denial" taken from a book I once read. It basically means you may be guilty of something, but that you have a passable or reasonable excuse as to why you didn't do it. I burned a CD and was out the door.

I met up with Mike & Tony, as we had planned on going to San Antonio's Gay Pride Parade together. When I played the new track for them, Tony immediately dubbed it Transient Music. What? After the laughter at the prospect of "music for homeless people" subsided, he explained what he meant. A combination between Ambient and Trance music = Transient music! You heard it here first, folks! A new genre is born!

An edited version of "Plausible Denial" is posted on my web site, Facebook, Myspace, and ReverbNation profiles. The full-length version is available now for download and is featured on my new CD "While There's Still Time" which goes on sale September 1.
