| I took some music theory classes in college and happen to have a master's degree in music technology, but I'm certainly not a theory master! A lot of the things you hear in this piece are just experiments with polychords (one triad in one hand and a different one in the other), I just figured out what sounded good by ear rather than using any complicated theory. |

| Conscious Stream?....did you get your song name from Dream Theater's Stream of Consciousness? I still really like your playing, I was just curious where you got the name. Also, Strem of Consciousness (by Dream Theater) happens to be one of my favourite songs so maybe you were inspired by it. |

| Thanks... it is a variation of the phrase "stream of consciousness" but that's a literary term that was around long before Dream Theater wrote the song. :-) |

| Indeed I have! In fact I got Images and Words the day it came out. But no, my song name is not based on the song "Stream of Consciousness" (if that's what you meant), see my other comment... |

| hi rob! great song, really inspiring! i was just wondering how you get that synthy type sound with the right hand at the begining of the song? sorry if you've already answered this question but it would be great if u could reply! thanks a lot, alec |

| Thanks Alec... I like your vids too. The synth sound is a "slow gear" effect you can find on various Boss units, it's basically an auto volume swell that ramps the volume up when a new note is played. Then I slap a bunch of other effects on it (chorus, auto wah, delay, etc.) which adds to the "synth" like quality. |
