>>i have been obsessively making patterned sounds since i was a child. i cannot stop, nor do i want to. it is a longing, an addiction. i consider music to serve as my functional equivilent to religion. i'm looking forward to many years of exploration in music, as there are many paths that interest me. the musician/artist inevitably experiences many phases of development that correspond to both the lifecycle and the social condition in which he or she creates. i hope to hone the elements that have longevity and an enduring subjective appeal.

>>songs are stories. the stories i tell are certainly built from fragments i picked up on the way from others. i had to feed a passionate appetite for music a long time before i felt confident enough to try speak the language, hoping to have the vocabulary and musical 'wisdom' to really say something meaningful. but ultimately what the music is about is up to you...

there will likely be another open release sometime next fall. i have abandoned much of the formal structure of this album and am now concerned more with texture an space.

i had fun making this music. hope you find it useful.

you can also get this in cd form with custom artwork and liner notes for a minimum cost of $3 plus s+h.
this price is not based on labor value, so feel free to donate what you can.

other donations are gladly accepted to help cover my costs.
