This delicate combination of sounds represents strength through vulnerability. It calmly gives a feeling of renewal, much as the New Moon does. Tides is dedicated to my supportive partner Rey, who is the main inspiration for New Moon especially.

Cumulonimbus clouds start off white, big and fluffy, but are also the kind of cloud that quickly produces storms. Thunder, lightning, and rain.

It's been a while since I've put out something heavier, but inspired by what I have been hearing in Toronto as of late, I decided to put something that is a bit more of my party vibe. Thanks for three years of inspo Toronto!

Rolling, twisting, turning, climbing, descending. Inspired by Toronto and everyone in it. With a touch of emotion.

Phobos and Deimos, the Moons of Mars, are irregular in shape. They are named after two twins in Greek mythology. Phobos - Panic and fear, and Deimos -terror and dread.

Recorded in Isolation during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the name is apt to the times.  Although the feelings described are negative in definition, I wanted to use these emotions and create something to move your feet and souls. I recorded it in one shot, with no planning or editing, and simply let flow what needed to flow. You will find a leap in vibe and genre around the 30 minute mark, representing the unpredictability felt by many of us as we socially isolate on lockdown across the globe.

I hope it brings you as much comfort as it brought me.
