Rabbit Hole

"Clotilda" is the infamous slave ship that brought Africans into America... 
it's coded in faded vocal samples, and chill instrumentation. It is the first single from the my latest album, "Diaspora", out now on Bandcamp. "Calm the waters"..  🙏 much love.

CLOTILDA

On Friday morning I put my hands down on the piano and I played the first chords of this song without even thinking.

By Saturday night I had finished writing and recording the song, I am releasing it on Sunday.

Desert Shadows

Psychedelic Dreams

Smooth as glass on the surface but beneath the calm of still water runs a deep relentless current. Don’t be fooled by a still appearance on top when below the mighty power of a torrent moves unseen.

Synths, synth guitars and pianos with reverb, synth bass set to a 2-step thump beat with bongos, congas, repique, and snare cajon at 75 bpm.

Water audio recorded live in February 2024.

Moon Gloom

stillness, quietude, inaction.
the baited breath.
waiting for paint to dry.

what happens between events.
the gaps between words.
hollow absentia.

recumbent and hungered.
godforsaken and abandoned.
somnolent and indolent… .lent.



this is the 4th segment from DUO TREASON
( Joel the Mole - guitar and David Nelson -piano)
recorded 3/29/2024.

CREPUSCULE


For many moons
we have denied
The things that we
Felt most inside
Why do we fear
to be revealed
the wounds, when shared
could help us heal?
We built a wall
without a door
and forgotten why
we built it for
So tear it down
and start again
if we can't trust
we'll never win

So many moons
that we could share
if we let our love
take us there
raise our hands
put down our fists
together we
can fix all this
It's here for us 
if we should choose
we only have
our world to lose
uncloud our eyes
see not through pain
and learn we have
a world to gain   

 


Many Moons

Instrumental track. This "music phase" of mine sure seems to have lasted a while. 

Phases

A retro-future glam-inspired pop track infused with Gibson SG power chords and harmonies to make you smile.
