A fresh recording of a song I wrote about 15 years ago.

Your Lips Stole My Breath

A fiery and haunting piece for the piano.

Beautiful Monster

The Futile Toil of Tethered Hands expresses the struggle for meaning and fulfillment in a capitalist world. Our hands are tied, nothing we do seems to matter, yet we continue to create because to create is life.

Birth, Death, Rebirth

Tethered Hands is a solo post-rock project by Joseph D. E. Phillips. Joseph plays piano and guitar and writes, records and mixes all his music on his own. His debut album, "The Futile Toil of Tethered Hands", embodies the struggle of finding meaning and fulfillment in a capitalist society. His music ranges widely from heavy to melodic with emotional and sometimes eerie, offbeat undertones.
