every summer, my family and i would travel to an island to visit my surrogate grandparents.

i had this image in my brain of the island being the most perfect place on the planet. but when i returned there years later, i came to realize that such a place had never existed.

the land itself, the nature, was still beautiful, but the inhabitants were corrupting it. it wasn’t the haven that i remembered, except for my surrogate grandparents, who remain the light of the island.

i still love the island, but my idea of it has eroded. nothing is perfect.

this album is a bittersweet ode to a beloved place that has become unfamiliar over time.

dedicated to Judy and Stan.

a wandering mind

a thing written for a game jam six months ago that ultimately went unused but i liked it so i thought i'd post it anyway

it's certainly been a while! i may be a bit preoccupied with things this year as i try to get more stable, but i plan on coming back as soon as i can. thanks again for your patience!
