About this album
8.11.01 is a soundtrack to a multimedia exploration of mine (found here at last.fm). It is music I improvised while watching home movies of my family on vacation in Cape Cod. I’d digitized the footage upon returning home to Manhattan at the end of August ‘01. A few weeks after the video was shot I would be standing two blocks from the first of the Twin Towers as it fell.
(I can’t thank Greg, at HealeyIsland, enough for encouraging me to publish what is essentially a private work. I would also like to thank Joe Fitzgerald M.S.W., my PTSD counselor, for pushing me to finish these tracks.)
I found the 8/11 footage years later, but it was just too hard for me to watch, yet I so desperately wanted to see these images again, from a time before disaster struck my life, changing me forever.
I reached back to my music background. Before I’d become a professional musician, my earliest experiences with music were essentially self-soothing. Only by playing music could I express and cope with emotions too complex for language; by listening to and playing music I began to better cope and grow.
Trauma research has shown, in MRIs, that PTSD sufferers may experience a severance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This can cause unpredictable disruptions between the thought and feeling areas of the brain. Beginning in 2002 I went through long periods of anhedonia (joylessness) with an inability to feel any emotions other than flashes of a primitive irritability.
