I've battled anhedonia, amongst other issues, all my life. This was an attempt to pull myself out of a particularly difficult time in 2013.

Anhedonia

As usual, I recorded this in one go. Korg Volca Sampler>Green Russian Big Muff Pi>Dwarfcraft Wizard of Pitch>Old Blood Noise Endeavors Procession. Recorded in May of 2019 & used as an opener for Swampheavy's tour that Spring.

Our Ghastly Nature

I barely know how to play piano, I would argue I don't, but somehow improvised this in one take. I wrote this for my partner in July 2020 after a dream I had about meeting them for the first time. We were about a month removed from finding out they were pregnant and I was terrified beyond comprehension. The dream helped bring a lot into perspective and reminded me that everything was going to be ok.

Stars In Our Eyes

My first solo album from 2009, Telegraphy, is (now) a look back into where and who I was in my early 20's. This is right before I made a hard turn into sludge metal, punk, experimental, and harsh noise with my art. I never forgot these roots and tend to play this style at home more than any other. It's always been my most cozy and vulnerable art, which is why it has taken this long to put it on the internet somewhere that it can be accessed by the world. It has a lot of flaws. I recorded almost all of this in one take and a shitty microphone attached to my iPod (the occasional clicking you hear is my iPod experiencing a slow death). There's no professionalism happening here. This is who I was, who I am, and I am finally learning to be ok with that person.
