More or less my first attempt at recording... GarageBand + guitar + vocals.
Soundtrack loop I made for a class Kinect project. The idea is that the shadow the player casts is that of a monster (personifying one's hidden sin) as they wander a projected diorama of a foggy, surreal haunted forest.
Tried to keep flavors relatively classic before derailing that with a slight demonic edge. If I had to pick some inspirations I might Bauhaus, Akira Yamaoka and Daniel Licht.

Haunted Forest

6 layers of GB synth, 6 of my vocals, plus a drum loop.

2nd GarageBand (and music in general) attempt. Practice makes perfect?

Determine to Love

Vocals, guitar, synthesizer, and production by me.

Soundtrack for a short art film. We were tasked with exploring a point we disagreed on culturally, via artistic expression. We chose the commercial sexualization of professional female models as a topic. Our various perspectives on the models, as expressed in the song, are:

CONFIDENT. 
AIMLESS.
DAMAGED.
EMPTY.

Ever the Optimist

singer • songwriter • instrumentalist • producer

Both detached and aware, grandiose and abject: but of fear and of love, one of these I protect.
