At the onset of the pandemic, I upgraded my out of date, pirated recording software to a proper 21st century daw, sold some much loved, faithful gear to fund the purchases of a nice ribbon mic and complementary pairs of vintage synths and drum machines, and went into full studio rat mode. I dug into the songs I had been writing on mostly nylon string guitar, and began recording this album. It was a slow, solitary and meditative experience, I learned a lot, and was very happy to enlist the help of some true a-listers. Whoever this finds, thank you for listening.

I had a lovely bio here ready to go but my computer crashed & I really don't have the mental strength to go through that again so here's a basic thing instead.
