In the tenebrous gloom of September 1995, two dark souls joined creative forces to become Autumn Tears. Erika Tandy(vocals, musical arrangements), and Ted Tringo (keyboards and piano, musical arrangements, vocals), set out to create music which illustrated the darkness writhing within their souls. After an intensive period of song writing and rehearsing, they entered West Sound Studios to commit to tape the works they had created. In April of 1996, their first CD, Love Poems for Dying Children: Act I was released through Dark Symphonies, their own record label.

The music of Love Poems… consisted of symphonic arrangements designed to evoke intense emotions of sadness and loneliness in the listener. Influences include ancient chants, classical music, and contemporary artists (Dead Can Dance, Anchorage, Stoa, & Enya).
