Discography: Above the Misty Fall (2010)
"Above the Misty Fall" was designed for therapeutic and entertainment purposes. For example, the song 'Merlin's Wake' was designed to ease the pain the grief of clients in dealing in the death of a loved one by intervening in stages 3 and 4 of Kubler-Ross's stages of grief and dying. A lyric analysis while listening to the song, and discussing it with a music therapist can bring people out of bargaining and depression. The song was written with a pagan metaphysical approach to an afterlife so that all clients can relate to it, regardless or religion, or lack of it.

Walking on Dewy Grass (to be released March 20th 2015)
A compilation of more lively compositions than the last album where the listener can take an aural journey through Gortnamoyagh Forest, possibly run into the once popular god, Cernunnous, dance a slip jig, take a boat ride to Avalon, listen to a lullaby of the spirit of summer as it goes to sleep for the winter, go on a journey to a magical place hidden under Mananaan's Cloak, and hear parts of a requiem for the undead legendary Irish Vampire King, Abhartach, as he is laid to final rest. In other words, the album is just as esoteric as the previous, but targeted more toward entertainment than therapy.
