about

Featuring elements of 90s grunge in "Wrong Organ", Tom Waits meets New York folk in "Ash'd", and a touch of spiritually infused Trip-Hop on "Yetzer Hara", George's second musical release "Manifestation" delves deeply into sexuality, addictive lifestyles, spiritual angst...in addition to far less pretentious subjects such as romance and avoiding homework. The title "Manifestation" refers to a series of riots during a food shortage in Haiti.

One of George's friends there described the riots as being "manifestations". This spirit of yearning for justice and hunger for sustenance was hoped to have been exhibited in the songs on this CD by the stylistic schizophrenia of George's varied musical "manifestations".
