I had these three fragments/songs for awhile and in preparing for a show, I realized that they could flow from one to the next and kind of create a story.

Lost My Sight / Miles Apart / Learn To Lie

I wrote this song a few years back and recorded this version to help remember it. Something about it feels like magic in a bottle. 

Photo: I took this picture of the Big Dipper (I think) during the summer of 2022 while spending time with friends in Virginia.

Saturn Returns (iPhone Demo)

I don't really play piano, but I've been working on incorporating it more. I recently obtained a Casiotone CT-6000, which is a beautiful machine, and have been playing around with it.
I recorded this as one take on my iPhone. I like what has been captured here.

BoF Project

Best of Friends

I played thru a handful of songs in my old bedroom at my parents' home today and recorded them. Here's one for you.

I took this picture in my grandparents' basement in Indiana. I can still smell that house and feel at peace.

Stable Song (Death Cab For Cutie cover)

A rainy day and an iPhone.
I recorded this during one of my stints in Atlanta, Ga.

The Path (Demo)

This is an old recording I recently dug up. I've always liked how all of the synth parts come together at the end.

This song is about outgrowing your roots and feeling a bit lost, like maybe you took a wrong turn along the way.

Photo: I took the picture from the backseat of a car in Indiana in May 2006.

Little Candles - 2014 Demo

I recorded this while living in Atlanta.

The picture is of a junk yard in Belize that we drove by once when I was there.

Now Broken Ghost
