Listen with headphones, I'm bad at mastering.
This was my final project for a studio techniques class. I produced this, but my producer Michael Kotlaba will be producing the rest of the album. It's gonna get much jazzier from here.

this is a two-track release

Lyrics:
You're no medusa
But you're so cold that I'm stoned and I'm frozen

And if there's nothing left to fix
Then I'll take my leave

My eyes are opened
And my tongue is stuck
How could I imagine love and trust
mistaking the ice for silk within your voice

Feel your vibrations on my skin
Sneaking out and slipping in
It's not as if I ever had a choice

You're no monster
you're just not the one for me

I hate to be silenced but
I don't have the guts to speak

Got you cornered
But never caught
I'm only hurt because I fought
Though I knew from the start you weren't my type

Hear your words juggle in my mind
If only you could grow a spine
And stab my back with dignity this time

Use headphones if you can, it's worth it, but no biggie. Enjoy!

Some songs of mine won’t make it to the “Conscious Creation” LP. So, I took out my trusty MacBook Air and Blue Yeti mic this weekend and recorded “Hailey,” the first of several bare-bones homebrew songs to be released about bi-weekly on my SoundCloud leading up to the release of the actual album, which is being professionally produced. Welcome to the “A-Sides”. If you enjoy indie music, you shall vibe to this. Share and follow me on SC if you like what you hear!

Lyrics:
Hailey
Gentle as the morning clouds
Escaping from my big, blind mouth
Like a smoking gun

Lately
I've been running round in circles
Learning that this satisfaction
I crave I just can't find

Hearing your voice
Tricks me
Temporarily
I know your love's not true

closing the door
is still an option but
if I forget I’ll stay with you

daily
roundabout the same routines
I see that you have found your home 
splitting at the seams

failing
to account for all your kind young wisdom
knowing that the truth I’m seeking
lives hidden in your eyes

OHHHHHHHH!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
ha

Hailey

I really love the song "Home" by Islandis, and wanted more practice in my DAW, so I re-made the song from scratch with my own touches and new lyrics. I learned a ton, and it's definitely my cleanest mix yet. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:
in the moments
I hear your voice in the distant tone
Fearing that you were better left alone

You've tried to live to hide
Stowed your soul inside
Spoke your truth in lies
Cracked smiles and splitting sides

in the morning
I wake up wishing for a quick escape 
Stealing glances into heaven’s gates
rushing toward a changing fate

In The Moment

It's a single! It's the next song from the A-sides! It's... neither of those things, maybe! Here's a song from a version of me in a parallel universe, a.k.a. Asa #54391275.

back to the chase (dream pt 2)

track 1 of my upcoming EP "Conscious Creation". NOW AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING SERVICES. 

this song is about taking control of your life by learning to love the unknown, to question reality, and to recognize the divinity hidden within everything, including your self. 

most of all, it's my open hand extended out to you and a gentle reminder to care about the things that matter and nothing else. 
peace and love, please enjoy. 
also about Laniakea, google it, it's beautiful and fascinating.
