Sound / Music

My current songwriting project, active since 2015. "Slow music for fast times" indebted to 1990s rock, accompanied by a variety of contextual and sculptural sound (e.g. quiet oscillators/electronics, live shortwave radio, archival recordings).

-- 3 Songs (2019)
-- Demo + various tracks (2016)

Shore Country
Pop-punk songwriting project active 2013-2017 but still thinking about doing the full-band LP. Earnest, nervous, lovesick, attempting to take cues from Salinas Records and the places where folk punk ditched the banjo.
-- indoor recess (2017)
-- a happier state of being (2014)
