The four song EP is as musically diverse as the individuals are, blending acoustic guitar styles with hard rock and a touch of psychedelia.

The sessions began with the tracking of the song "Him", recorded in studios C and D at Musician's Institute in Hollywood California. The song won Nathan Lowe 'Best Final Project' in the recording program at M.I. for its engineering and production genius.

"Blue World" is perhaps the shining light of the four song collection. In a true collaborative melding of creative minds, the music was written by Lowe and the lyrics by Steven. Lowe's acoustic guitar work is drastically different from that of Steven, and adds a organic and wistful feel to the track.

A tricky balance was achieved between the two vocalists who had extremely different styles. After much experimentation, the two decided to split up the songs, or to sing distinct sections within the same track in some cases. The result is a unique and interesting collaboration that will keep you guessing.

For the finishing touches, the EP was mastered by Grammy award winning recording engineer and producer Darryl Swann.
