I originally completed Open in 2000, and remastered it and updated all the MP3 tags in 2005.

(The files here are all the remastered versions.)

Open includes piano and vocal pieces recorded at Newbury Sound, Boston, in 1995; full band

pieces recorded at The Rock Garden Venue, London, in 1996; and pieces recorded at my home
