I actually finished something, imagine that!

The Dress (Dijon Cover)

Originally written for guitar, this song transformed during the recording process, making extensive use of synthesizers and keyboards in lieu of the acoustic guitar. Moving away from the instrument with which I'm most familiar was a challenge, but a welcome one in the end, as it allowed me to finally achieve a mood I was happy with to accompany the narrative I had written. I hope you enjoy!

The Bridge of Sighs

After a friend of mine introduced me to this succinct, beautiful song, I had to record it, and with help from Cat's harmonies and Bartek's cello, the cover came together in just over a week. The song perfectly characterizes the ceaseless passage of time as both a reassurance and a resource. I hope you find this song as poignant as I do, if not more. Enjoy!

World Spins Madly On (The Weepies Cover)

I was just messing around in Ableton sometime around 2am, and threw together a bass line and some guitar riffs I found interesting, and over the next few months the bare bones arrangement grew into a fully-fledged composition. I hope you enjoy!

End of the Line

After struggling to finish anything for a month or two, I set myself a 24-hour deadline, and forced myself to produce something--I hope you enjoy the result. Many thanks to Peter for the Telecaster and Remy for the vocal harmonies! :)

Slide (James Bay Cover)

I've been listening to Bruno Major's album "A Song For Every Moon" for a while now, and have been enthralled by this song from the first listen. Only recently, however, did I realize I could recruit a talented pianist, Remy, to play the accompaniment to this song, and, with a bit of melodic rearrangement, the vocals actually sat comfortably in my range. Anyhow, this song was a joy to record and produce, and thanks again to Remy for making it possible.

Places We Won't Walk - (Bruno Major Cover)

After realizing that James Taylor's "Copperline" from his 1991 album "New Moon Shine" bore a striking similarity in style to Bon Iver's songwriting on his album, "22, A Million," Charlie and I decided to recast the song in the style of everybody's favorite ambient-electronic-folk Wisconsinite.

Copperline (James Taylor Cover)

This song came out of a music composition class, titled "How to Write a Song," which entailed collaboratively writing a song from scratch every week. All that was left was to recruit Charlie and Amy to the project, a year or so later. Enjoy!

Dancing In Color

I've been listening to this song for a while, and so, while stuck without my guitar for a month during shelter-in-place, decided to learn it on the piano. When I returned to my studio, I played the part I'd arranged with an electric piano and took it from there. Hope you enjoy!
