A collection of songs that I wrote and recorded during rocket launches. A time capsule in which I do my best to store my emotions leading up to each rocket launch I have the privilege to see. <3

Opening hearts and launching rockets

A shorter version of this piece was tailored specifically for breathtaking launch footage brought to you with love by Ryan Chylinski. Watch that video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o5WV7qcZiCg

This ~21-minute track was composed live from the Causeway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, while I was watching the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch a Telstar satellite into space. Later, I edited the track in Ableton Live to add in some bells and whistles, both literally and figuratively.

I hope when you're listening you'll consider looking up to the skies with your hearts and imagination wide open.

Saving The World One At A Time

The sky is half clear
Future visions clearer
Portals in a row
With destinations nearer

Ascend

Early mornings at the port
Fishermen find solace
While curious minds gaze at the horizon
As the blackened booster gently wades in

The Return

I share my demos here, before they turn into something else or perhaps remain in their raw state for eternity. <3

The Return
