- [Emerald Trinity Guitar Build](https://chrisdignam.com/buzz/emerald-trinity-guitar-build/) - In Autumn 2015, I contacted Emerald Guitar owner and master builder, Alistair Hay, about constructing a mandolin/12-string/6-string combo for me. A couple of years earlier, Alistair had constructed a doubleneck guitar (a Chimaera model) for me with both necks being baritone-scale lengths and the 6-string side being multi-scaled (with fan frets) as well as an internal RMC unit for MIDI output. This particular build was extremely resonant and very comfortable to play.
- [Where the Wind Blows](https://chrisdignam.com/behind-the-music/where-the-wind-blows/) - I wrote and recorded the song Where the Wind Blows, which appeared on 2018’s Storyteller, and appears as the project’s final track. Liam Carolan, a wonderful singer whom I have known since I was 17 years old, performed the lead and backing vocals on this particular song.
- [End of the Line](https://chrisdignam.com/behind-the-music/end-of-the-line/) - I recorded the track "End of the Line" for inclusion on 2009’s Greenlit. End of the Line is a song I wrote about teenage suicide, which is a topic very near and dear to me.
- [Element Earth](https://chrisdignam.com/behind-the-music/element-earth/) - I recorded Element Earth for inclusion on 2011’s Electric Magick and Acoustic Alchemie. Every album I have released has had a theme, and the theme for this particular album was legends, myth, and magick

- [Amaris](https://chrisdignam.com/trax/amaris/) - Late in 2012, during the final stage of laying down tracks prior to mixing 2013’s Pure Virgin Vinyl, I stumbled upon a pair of acoustic instruments that simply melted in my hands. They were constructed by the Emerald Guitar Company in Donegal, Ireland and were the X20 6-string and Amicus 12-string soprano guitar models. In addition, and most notably, these instruments were entirely composed of carbon fiber without any body joints or seams.

- [Tree of Life](https://chrisdignam.com/trax/tree-of-life/) - Tree of Life is part one of a two-part effort that I spent a considerable amount of time writing and musically storyboarding. Tree of Life is an instrumental story I wanted to translate through guitar for some time. I spent several years planning, writing, and recording this two-part project.

Part one, Tree of Life, begins with the creation of the universe and concludes with the angels uprising, led by Lucifer, during the War in Heaven.
