Parkington '51
In 1951 strange happenings began to occur in Arlington Virginia. As citizens and government workers went about their daily lives something went wrong in a secret laboratory. At first there were official denials and reassurances, but as more and more people became affected by the secret experiments, the government issued an emergency system shutdown. Panic set in and there was mass hysteria. Suddenly the way of life we had taken for granted was disintegrating and people began to flee. However there was no escape or refuge. Some sought out the safety of the gleaming art moderne Parkington Shopping Center. Unfortunately this majestic structure could not withstand the forces escaping from the containment zone. There were no survivors.
What went wrong? Its a Parking garage.

Ego Death
There are pieces of us that fight at every turn; pieces that get jealous, angry, or cocky. I've found that those pieces are part of the ego and it is how I choose to kill the ego that decides how I move forward. 'Ego Death' is a song about killing the false self; I call 'Ego Death' a visual rebirth and the goal was to capture the many forms of metamorphosis while killing ego in order for true confidence to arise inside of self.
