This is a nice composition that spun out from a jam I did one November morning. I pieced it together and recorded this version of it later in December 2023. A little rough around the edges, but I want to get started on sharing the instrumental guitar work I love to come up with.

As Leaves Fall [DEMO]

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: 
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." 
Psalm 23:1-3 (KJV)

This project is my first dedicated foray into making lo-fi beats. I'd like to continue in making these and share them with the prayerful intent of praising the Lord through them. Lo-fi beats and like chill instrumentals have long been a salve for me in life, and it is my hope that these projects will bring you some peace and rest as the genre has done for me.

The drum beat is a sample loop from the Cymatics LoFi Toolkit. 
The rest is handmade with love. 🙏

I Shall Not Want [INST]

This one rose out from a smooth jam. I laid down the bass and the electric guitars. All else from @realkenshibeats. 

Picture's from the very same night this one got recorded. Driving back home to the rough mix was a treat.

Unmastered mix.

GREENLIGHT [INST]

Beautiful acoustic instrumental intended to take you back to the 2000's hip-hop era with unbuttoned wovens on sunset beaches as viewed through flip phone camera pixelation or something like that. Chill & enjoy :)

Rhythm and bass are from me.
Everything else @realkenshibeats

Seabreeze [INST]

Looked to an old favorite from BJ Thomas for this one. This is definitely a vein I'd love to tap into more as I continue writing songs. Maybe the first time I've felt okay about my vocals; please forgive my pitch haha Hope it's soothing for you! Enjoy :)

Raindrops keep falling on my head / but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red

Acoustic and main vox from me.

Lyrics:

Something in the moonlight
Makes me wonder when
Things will ever
Turn up right

'Cause my shoes don't seem to fit
My shirts only wrinkle
I don't see the use
In trying anymore

I stopped to look up
I asked the moon why
Tears in the rain
Wash away

But you don't see me cry

Tears in the rain
Wash away

But you don't see me cry

The moon just smiled down
I had myself a laugh
Tears in the rain --
they just wash away
So you won't see me cry

Tears in the rain
Wash away
So you won't ever see me cry

Tears in the Rain [DEMO]

These are projects and sketches from the past 3 years. Here I'm unloading the backburner as I look forward to a more intentional direction in my musical life. Compared to the other work I have on here, this is a better representation of the sound I lean into: indie, alt-rock, moody, ambient, pop. 

I hope you'll enjoy these and I'm wishing a blessed new year and season ahead of you :)

Highlights may be Jesus Calling, The Hooks, To Be Alone, and Solace.

All parts by me except these guitar tracks of mine:
The Hooks (prod. by Grayson Niven @worldpeaceforever13)
PROOF (prod. by @realkenshibeats)

God bless! :)
