Green Sands

Me playing around with Lydian chords on guitar, and ultimately giving up on the lyrics and overall song structure in the end. Matt and I got pretty deep into working on this one, but it never came through in the end. I still think it has this dreamlike vibe that's sort of cool.

Gone

 "Gone" is easily my favorite song I've ever made, it's some kind of soft rock / R&B fusion that I took a LONG time to make. I originally sketched out the melodies on an acoustic guitar and singing, before taking it to the next level with some of my older studio techniques. I also went through a process of having a bridge on the song before removing it as it did not quite work out. The lyrics were initially about losing innocence / growing up, but I realized it could be interpreted as a break-up or abandonment song as well so leaned into those double meanings. Gracie, my college friend, contributed vocals to the final cut and really adds something special to the piece. Please listen to the different versions listed below: 2024.01.22 FULL release ,      2023.07.12 demo with bridge ,      2022.02.08 acoustic demo

I always loved the hypnotic vibe of that work mixing electronic and rock. I featured my fellow Avon-Laker and bass player of "Strobe Light Casualties", Ben Safos, who delivers backing vocals and electric guitar. 2023.05.20 release
