The Magic Hour

From Improvised Songs Vol. 2

A while back I had this idea for a composition that was loosely based on sprechstimme (“speech-voice” in German) and tone clusters. It was just a throw-away idea that ended up actually becoming a short little thing. Anyway, after many versions of me playing with it in Finale, a bunch of dear friends came over and helped track it all. Afterword I sat on it for a year and wondered what in the world to do with it. …and then along came this spectacular artist and she made this gorgeous piece of art that still gives me goosebumps whenever I see her wear it.

Please enjoy “The Magic Hour”, a music and art collaboration featuring just the best cast of characters you could imagine.

Error Cancellation Album Release!

Happy Bandcamp Friday!

My solo album, Error Cancellation, is available for purchase! Please head on over to my Bandcamp page to check it out!

And, in addition to the album, I wrote a treatise of sorts on what the whole project means to me. If you have the time and desire, it’s here for your reading pleasure. A copy of it also comes with the album when you purchase it.

A huge thank you to my family for the love and support and patience with which you showed me during the recording of this project. To Kelly Wright and Sharon Lanza for their help on the supplemental essay attached to this album. And to that wizard of sound, Nick Broste, for not only his mastering skills but also his input and guidance on what to do when producing your first solo album. Thank you.
