about

This was a hard one to make because of how much has been going on this year. I meant to put it out in June but motivation has been difficult to find at times. On the plus side, I have had time to add some tracks and build more of an "album". While the tone of the music takes a journey from present to past to possible future, I tried as best I could to title the songs to tell a story, even while being instrumentals. I'm hoping the story is one of a fire that rages, but from which we can all rise stronger and better.

Gear notes: all sounds except drums came from Korg Minilogue XD or Volca FM, the drums are a mix of samples from various vintage drum machines, in a lot of cases the Yamaha RX21 for snare and kick, and Boss DR-220E for toms.
