Not An Album

What Am I Doin?

Lyrics: 

You breathe out
And I breathe in
Talk it out
And take it in

And we crawled
On the boulders
And we climbed
In the caves

Can you feel my heartbeat
At least what's left
Who knew that you could leave
Such a hole in my chest

There's nothing I can do
In retrospect
Except to follow through
How you could be correct

All of this empathy, empathy, oh
Is taking the breath from me, breath from my bones
And I don't know why you had to die
Without leaving a note
For all of my empathy, no

Oooh
You — you make me feel
Freedom
Ohh

I wanted to follow you
Beyond (beyond) September
And I lost track of where the time went
But that's what I get
'Cause now you're gone

And you don't wanna say it
And I'm not gonna read your mind
But you're not gonna make  it
You see things when your sight is hind

All of this empathy, empathy, oh
Is taking the breath from me, breath from my bones
And I don't know why you had to die
Without leaving a note
For all of my empathy, no

[ooh aah daa mmm section]

Empathy (demo)

The original soundtrack of Graveyard Shift, a top-down stealth/puzzle game: https://graveyardshift.page

Ambient

Graveyard Groove

I've moved around a lot - but while I'm grateful for the range of experiences it gave me, I felt constantly uprooted. This song explores how that uprooting can give you a new sense of home.

tonight / nothing to write / but this

I asked ChatGPT to write a voicemail that got progressively more concerned about AI's use of natural resources. Then I got AI to read the script.

The Other End Of The Line

Electrostatic Lullaby

This is a track I made for a contest hosted by Michael Wynne of the In The Mix YouTube channel. Learn more about the contest at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXB-Ec_QzUU

I fell in love with GTA's groove immediately when I heard it, but when the song was over, I wanted to know the other side of the story. That led me to write and sing a new pre-chorus that replies to Kennedy's lyrical accusations.

I had lots of fun with sound design for this track. I used my own field recordings of water and ice as a sonic foundation, made a fun granular pad from the original pre-chorus vocals, and designed a Karplus-strong bass patch for the drop. After that, it was all about playing with chords, chops and swells.
