Back in the early 2000s, I played in a band called endiseverything in Stellenbosch, South Africa. We played to near-empty rooms, but the fire was real, and we played like it mattered. We only ever recorded four songs and this is one of the few that survived.

To Dream of Audra

Hearts in Arms

A little slice of history from when I lived in Oslo. 

"Twine strung between the binds. From over the shoulders of lamps and far flung lines. Glowing we howl. Trapped in the arc struggling to stay under the sun. Its sweeping glare sets patterned fractures. Upon a ridgeway fissured by dreams. Wrapped in vertebrae we are birthed the razors. Sons of a modern hell. Daughters of a modern hell. Together in this modern hell."

Howl

A memory of a time I lived in Oslo.

"I found peace at last. Abandoned on the shore. Reflected in an ocean as black as the coil. From the wreckage I will construct with salvation tied to hope. A battered raft of failures and ideals. I hollowed it out with sharpened words. Carved at its bones and heart. We'll conquer the waves. Shattered anchors aweigh. I can't help but fear the currents we'll meet. The shipwrecks in the saline. Castaways of the deep. The salt of leviathan. The despair and disease. The bastards of convenience who try to drown us in our sleep. I carved at its heart with tattered fingers. I carved at its heart with frayed beliefs. We'll navigate by heart instead of stars. We'll navigate by resolve instead of culture. We'll sail beyond everything we've known. The tide may claim our bones but it will not claim this fight. I carved at the throat of the storm with tattered fingers wrapped in bloody sails."

a rough little sketch of an idea. needs a lot of work but will get there.

Vesperfey - The melancholy feeling you get when you look at the evening star and realise that it may already be long gone.

Vesperfey (demo)

This is just some vocals I did for a local band as an audition test. Logistics prevented us from forming a band but I thought I'd share it anyways :)

Vocal Audition Test

Old habits, new noises. Bits of sound, memory, and mood. Audio fragments and experiments from a life spent chasing tone and texture.
