Where’ve You Been?
On December 6th 2024, I released Where’ve You Been? — an album about my recovery from long-seated dissociative and identity issues. The songs are raw and personal, wabi-sabi in their imperfections, trying to capture the moments between despair and hope, loss and renewal. My hope is that it’s like sitting in...

Songs From The Other Side Of The Event Horizon
I dedicate this album to Danielle, my partner, savior, and love of my life. Her patience and love — despite the pain my mental illness caused her — pulled me from an abyss and made these songs possible. They were written within periods of my mental duress and darkness and...

Getting There
My second EP and another instrumental album, I wrote these songs during the first week of the New Year. A jazzier more open feel than It’s Difficult Sometimes, I tried to express more about the world around me than any interior views. Released January 22, 2024

It Can Be Difficult Sometimes

Demos & Experiments
Improv in D
A short heavy piece that came to me while waiting for something else to come to me. A lot of this happens like that. The melody was sweet enough to me that I wanted to hold on to it. No mastering or production on this one other than Boreal Forest...

Cold February Blues (Improv)
This is a blues-in-E improv over a theme I’ve been working on for a few days. I’m finger-picking again after being in a cast for a couple of months, so the solo’s kind of janky, but it feels great to be back with it again, and what could be better...

1992-1994: The “Emerson” Sessions
It was 1991 when I found and repaired my mother’s 1964 Sears folk guitar and started playing. Between 1992 and 1994, I recorded original songs in my bedroom using an Emerson dual-deck boom box. As I was encouraged into other studies, and as I got lost in a deep mental...
