Sometimes I feel connected and as One with everything. And other times it's a struggle. But I feel hope. And that's what keeps me going. And what this song is about. Part of my upcoming EP - Love Letter to the Universe. 

Recorded and arranged entirely on my iPhone. So someday I hope to re-record the vocals in a studio (hence the demo).

We are One (demo)

For this project, we were tasked with writing a call and response melody.  I liked one variation from my previous week's melody so I took that and turned it into a 1-minute composition (per this week's assignment).  My goal was to push myself outside my comfort zone.  I so often write simple, expected melodies in major keys.  So I tried to write something that was a little more unexpected in a minor key.  That was challenging though, since with a call and response, there is typically a resolution from the response. I hope to expand this piece further (vary the melody even more in a longer piece). It was written in F minor (mostly).

Coming into focus

I wrote this song for my wife - we just got married last Sunday - and the chord progression was devised using her hame.  And it's played in open A - a tuning I made up.  Hope you enjoy!  A lot of love was poured into this.

A live recording of our version of the late, great Bill Withers' "Use Me", recorded at the House of Blues San Diego a few years ago. Vocals by Emmercelle DeLeon.

Use Me (live)

I love finding instruments I've never heard of before and trying to use them - even if it's the digital version of an ancient instrument, like it is with these two chinese instruments. I also combining seemingly disparate genres, so adding the hip-hop beat felt like an interesting place to go with this.
