#9 Fandnamis

The Feeling:
       "Fandnamis"...a term I coined to mean greatest work to date, analogous to a Magnum Opus.  This was created in Jan 2007, on a very old desktop computer stashed in the basement using Finale notepad, while sitting on an upside down white wicker basket.  Very inspirational...

Inspiration:
       The goal was to write the longest song I could create, achieved by stringing together practically every idea that I came up within that time frame.  Inspirations probably include:
Kansas: Magnum Opus, Dream Theater: Octavarium/In the Name of God, The Offspring: The Kids Aren't Alright, Boston: Get Organized, KaW: Euphoria

Technical:
       This song can only be explain by it's immense number of time signature, tempo, and key changes.  So here they all are in their respective sections (which match the changing pictures)
