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.

My entry to 'POWER! SampleMancers'

This song was composed in Sekaiju using my Yamaha TX16W sampler, utilising my Digitech DSP 256XLII and circuitbent Fostex DE1 effects units, then multitrack recorded into Cakewalk.
My bestie dusthillresident who is also on this album helped figure out some of the harmony and gave me useful feedback, without her it wouldn't be finished!

Capisce-koma (POWER! SampleMancers)

God is good...I know i've been away for some time, and I apologize for that. but I hope this makes up for it a little. here it is...My first ever EP. It is filled with imperfections from beginning to end...there are things that I wish I knew how to do/do better, but I gave it my all with the time, resources and knowledge I have...and Im happy about that. this is a big step for me as a composer, and I pray that it only goes up from here. With that being said, please enjoy.
