This began as a way to get more experience with Pro Tools. I had some songs that were at different levels of completion so I decided to start recording them from my home studio. They became pretty decent demos, so I asked some good friends to take a listen and see if they would want to add their instruments. There are some really special guests adding their talent which made this EP much more than I could have ever expected.
This started with just 4 songs, but a new song emerged that I had to add. It became the title track, eMission, and features Derek Sherinian and Eric Gillette.
Also, a bonus track was added that was a jam session that turned into a live recording at Neal Morse's Radiant School featuring Neal on 12-string acoustic.
