Making original music is my longest running creative endeavor. I started recording music at home in 2007 and I've been at it ever since.

Direct Pointing features multi-movement, genre bending instrumental pieces. If you're looking for some verses and choruses, you wont find them here. Direct Pointing has no recurring sections or themes—it’s completely through-composed, and it features every acoustic and electric instrument I own. I'm very proud of this one. Direct Pointing is an authentic expression of my musical and artistic sensibilities.
Mosaic is a compilation of previously unreleased music, in a variety of styles, made between 2013-2019. A bunch of pieces I made in the past that I liked, but didn't have a place to go. Experiments, one offs, and album cuts. I'd say this album is somewhat in the realm of bonus content. All instrumental except for "Dreaming the Future". It felt good to let these lil' numbers to see the light of day.
Temporal Radio features music in a variety of styles from acoustic folk, to driving rock, to downtempo electronic. I wanted to create the effect of scanning through my mind for music with some kind of magical radio. In between pieces there are short sections of sound design meant to represent scanning for the next station. In these sections you can hear little bits of original music I made early on, and a cacophony of audio from movies, comedy, and television that is special to me.
I spent several years making music before this, but Regarding Being was my first official release. I guess it took a while to get my dander up to make a larger project and attempt to do more then just throwing some random stuff on soundcloud. It's imperfections become more obvious to me with each passing year, but hopefully you can find some charm in my humble beginnings. The instrumentation and panning remain consistent throughout the album to give the effect of a band recording together live in the studio. Regarding Being also represents a time in my life where my curiosity and appreciation of life was really blossoming.
