about

I’ve had so many of my voice memos passed over to my computer as I get a new phone and move on to the next new fangled version. When I recently took time during the pandemic to review a lot of these I realized that the only reason I was hesitating to release them was because it seemed too minimal. After all, it was just a phone memo speaker, right? But the emotions of this time just magnified these recordings for me and brought them into focus. This is almost a decade of tinkering and documenting. It is a swamp of first takes, fast attempts, field recordings, and sleepy eyed waking dreams. It is scraps but also a full plate. It is light sing-song as well as heavy-hearted hurt. It is me grappling with the deeply personal as well as the more outward issues of my city, our country, and the world. Some of these songs you may recognize, albeit slight changes of words as they eventually further formed themselves. Many may be completely new to your ear. Dog panting, cicadas clicking and buzzing, and bus route rumblings. I came back around once again to an idea I always champion but sometimes forget to walk the walk myself, that art and music shouldn’t be overwrought.These recordings should get to be amongst the people for them to feel them as only they uniquely can to their lives.
