I wrote this song in 2012 and initially arranged it for a live a cappella performance setting. In the past year I've begun exploring sample creation from my own voice and working with those samples in different ways. This is first result of that exploration. I'm incredibly open to feedback as I journey into another world of creating music; any criticisms or compliments are greatly appreciated.

ring of fire - eb live at the bluewhale

first-go sessions // I want make of habit out of sharing the first time I start to work through something to which I feel connected; even with all the starts and stops, I think the 'first-go' of things is almost always the most magical and I wish we all got to hear our favorite things as they take shape for the first time more often /

this is 'If Ever I Would Leave You,' originally from the music, Camelot, written by Alan Jay Lerner + Frederick Loewe /

recorded in my teaching studio at Silverlake Conservatory of Music between students <3 /

first-go sessions // if ever I would leave you

Written and (roughly) recorded in October of 2012; a work in progress, a lullaby of sorts
