About the Artist
Les Konley, aka Local Anesthetic, has been playing piano since the age of 7. He composed his first multitimbral song with a Roland D-50 in 1990 by overdubbing cassette tapes, and used a programmed drum loop on an Amiga computer.

He started getting serious about composition in 1998 when his career allowed the funding of building up his project studio, and he spent most of his free time learning how to use all the new equipment and composing new music. The studio hats he now wears include audio engineer, mastering engineer and producer. The musician hats he wears include keyboardist, percussionist, effects vocals, sound designer, and synth programmer, among others.

These original songs were composed, performed, arranged, recorded and mixed by Les Konley at his home studio, and represent only a small collection of his work. What started as a hobby has grown into a new career, and Les is now shifting his direction to compose for film, television, radio, business video, video games and multimedia productions. His studio, called Imperfection Studios, specializes in original music composition, non-linear digital video editing, DVD authoring and CD mastering, studio session recording, and sound design.

Product Description
Spanning a broad range of styles, from pop/rock, rock piano ballads and jazz/fusion, to electronic and experimental, the most interesting characteristic of these songs is that they continually change and evolve to maintain your interest, like movie soundtracks. The album was so named, not only because of the various styles of music, but for the places the music can take you and the images they may conjure in your mind.

4 out of 5 stars Creative and Original.......2004-02-14

I found this cd to be very entertaining, and musically sound. Overall, I would recommend this cd to anyone who is tired of the same old sound.

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal variety that keeps you coming back!.......2004-02-11

The variety in this CD is truly remarkable. While listening, I wait in anticipation for the next song because I know it's going to be totally different than the one I just heard. Every song is within itself a collage of melodies, rhythms and beats. I'm a studio cycling instructor and have used several songs from this CD in my classes. It's an awesome piece of artwork - a MUST for someone looking for a taste of something different.
