shepherd me from pain and the doubt through the broken streets and the hearts herd me home through hurt and the past then leave me alone you have no choice and now there is a white horse caged in my heart and it's going to kill me just to get out now there is a white horse caged in my heart and it's trying to kill me just to get out though we're different creeds, wear different masks  If you only could conceive that there's a chance  and hell is bent on showing me the dark shepherd me to light, make it stop.

Restless and pensive, looking out from a balcony at an unlit street enveloped in complete silence, Sergio found himself drowning in the hollow night, and in an attempt to combat the loneliness, started composing. “I guess this melody is what I would tell the moon if I could talk to her.”

As is custom for Sergio’s pieces, The Moon Song has an instant sense of nostalgic tenderness — it is a song about sleepless nights, glasses of wine, and unread books next to an unmade bed. Written during that part of the night in which everyone else is sleeping, the piece is an intimate affair; a gentle and at times heavy left hand is contrasted by a trickling, tethering right, playing with altering intensity but immaculate emotion. There’s a tense determination lingering beneath every note, an unanswered question floating in the air, only to be left hanging, as the piece drifts into the comfort of the decision to simply give up for now, and try again tomorrow.

From The Start

Everything Eventually Falls Into Place

Once upon a time, I wrote music and played in Bellingham Washington--in the 90's coffee shops, or busking at the park. Then I joined a cult (whoops) and was kidnapped by a beast who ruined the album I was working on with white boy beat boxing to "surprise me." Surprise! It took me decades to afford the time and the equipment to start over again. Oh well. Every superhero needs an origin story, and that's mine.

I recorded these songs during FAWM 2025, intending to share them only with my grown children. But, you know, plans change. Here I am. Here this is. My words, pulled gaily (never straight) from Cerridwyn's Cauldron, flung into the wind like a spell. 

Let the Green Lady return and claim her kingdom.
