I also make music.
I work with guitars, pianos, synthesizers, samples and tape loops to make neoclassical and experimental ambient music across a couple of different artist projects.
Making music is my hobby, my creative outlet, and my training ground. I challenge myself to own every part of the process, from composing the raw ideas to distributing the final album.
Nobody really listens to it. But that’s not the point. I make it because it’s fun.
I write, record, produce, title, design, promote and distribute all of the music, videography, and artwork.
I’m not an expert on every step of the process. But I really enjoy learning each new piece of the puzzle.
To date, I’ve released three albums (with three more being finalized for distribution now), and I’ve successfully used tens-of-thousands of dollars of music to generate $4.34 in streaming revenue.
Once Begun
This is my first album, written as a soundtrack for a move I didn’t fully know how to process at the time.
It’s about my the closure of my childhood dream of living in New York City, and the necessity of moving back South, closer to family. These songs are a soundtrack of the liminal emotions between the excitement of having done something I’d always dreamed of, the weight of leaving it behind, and the comfort of coming home.
Cul-de-Sac
My second album. This album is a sort of soundtrack to the summers of my childhood - days spent playing outside with neighborhood friends. Climbing trees, splashing in creeks, trudging through the woods. These are the sounds I hear when I imagine those gauzy memories.
Homesick
My third album. This one will be released in late October. Only the first single is out now, so enjoy the sneak peek.This album was written as a soundtrack to feelings of place-lessness and direction-lessness that often define our mid-late twenties.
It’s about yearning for something, and longing to make progress towards it, even you aren’t quite sure what it is.
If this had a soundtrack…
“If this had a soundtrack” is another way that I have fun making music. I take interesting clips from the Internet Archive, craft short scores for them, and post them as IG Reels and YT Shorts.
