about

"I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is."
– Bernardo Bertolucci

The Mason & Hamlin piano I recorded on was over 100 years old. There were a lot of mechanical noises, but I chose to leave the imperfections there, Because life is imperfect, and the beauty of life – of nature, of everything – is in its imperfection.

released December 21, 2018

Special thanks to Matt Poirier for his time and expertise with recording, mixing and mastering, and to Miner Street Recordings for a lovely space to record in.

All the love in the world to my wife, Rachel, for supporting me through this, and always encouraging me to express myself creatively.
