Fear State

They Sold Us On The Dream

While it's not quite a break up song, Control represents the loss of control while dealing with the emotional upheaval a breakup presents us with. It's really about the process of trying to find the strength and courage to let go of something you thought was the one, and succumbing to the reality that what you once had has truly concluded, like every great story eventually does. "A last inhale as love gently dies."

Prelude

To The Sound Of Music Cutting Out

The Rip

Vast, solitary and isolating, this is the Tundra Series of Sound, a congregation of songs that provide a contemplative marriage of atmospheres reflecting resonances of the frozen north.  A palate of wilderness within a sphere of aesthetic.

On A Quiet Prairie Road

If Only For You

Hope for the horizon beyond the mountain, where the span of the landscapes breathless the eyes and consumes it, on the windless trail.

The Windless Trail - #OutsideCompetition

After so many tracks that steered towards the epic side, I wanted to strip it down to something a little more sparse that depicted my interpretation of the outdoors.  Given this Covid-19 timeframe and the fact that due to border closures I've been separated from my girlfriend for over two months, this piece took on a more melancholic and introspective tone.
