    Song: The Riot Pt. 1 (Liner Notes)

    I pray we can move past the contemporary racial narrative that Elites have so cynically crafted and delivered via media and academia during the past several decades.

    Song: American Dream

    I recorded this song several times until arriving back to the basics of folk rock instrumentation (including the two chords I know on the mandolin!).

    Song: Quarter

    Saying goodbye to something can be difficult, even if the thing you're leaving is damaging you.

    Song: Thought Cop 2084

    Being the enforcer of speech codes can be lonely in my as-yet-not-fully-imagined futuristic Orwellian musical. In this song, I assume the role of a police officer charged with finding and eradicating non-state-sponsored materials littering the landscape of communication.

    Song: Weirdy

    Non-creative types can construe the artistic drive in others as confusing or off-putting. This song embraces that weirdness.

    Song: Geniuses of Glory

    Wearing my 80s production and Bowie influence on my sleeve, I present this work.

    Song: Friendly Friend

    This piece came to me all at once. Or, more accurately, it is the result of a couple of years of pontification about the zeitgeist. I crafted the beat and the main synth theme during my lunch break; to have waited would have been torture. Listen on SoundCloud

    Song: On Fire

    I happened upon a really infectious beat I created a couple of years ago and, after an enjoyable session, pulled a catchy melody from the universe. As fate would have it, I decided to listen to The Doors for the heck of it, and realized what I had with this song is a Doors-influenced piece of classic rock with a twist of contemporary production. And so, On Fire was born. It was fun to channel a bit of Jim Morrison, walking the line between psychedelic and Sinatra in vocal and lyrical styling. Yep, looks pretentious to have typed that out loud.

    Song: Making a Living

    My first song of 2019. It is written for my daughter, who is 20 and feeling angsty about being an adult.
