The Paradise Version of Hell
The original version was written 20 years ago. Quite some time and a lot of things have happened since then. Here, I take a shot at singing about some of it
Dark Provocateur
One of my favorite from a previous album. I've remastered it for imporved sound. Like it even more now. Enjoy the Dark Provocateur
Shades of Gray
Shades of Gray was a poem turned song around 2006-07. It was part of two previous attempts at releasing my music.
In an Album called My varied states of heart and mind and Decade.
Now I've re recorded and added more to the song in a way that I feel it's more complete.
Check out the OG Version below!
Home
Home was one of the first songs I wrote that felt truly complete
when I finished it over a decade ago.
To me it still holds up after all this time.
DEEP SAD
Creating a Cover that can convey what the song speaks to can be daunting
For Deep Sad I gravitated to textures that were broken, aged, and in the case of the rose - dying
I prefer to use my own photography when creating an image
However, I will credit my wonderful Husband with the photo he took of me
by putting each photograph in high contrast and using the highlights and shadows while blending them into my silhouette
Then it's all about choosing the right combination of colors. I went for Orange and Blue as they're counter emotions
All layered and combined they made a cover I'm really proud of
Til Next Summer [a song of the pandemic]
I wrote this song as the pandemic was just entering its first year. I had a conversation with a social media acquaintance whom had forgotten which day of the week it was. Our subjects wandered into how long we thought it would last; to which I replied there'll be no fun until next summer.
As time went on and I kept working on the song I lost two family members to Covid. So the weight of the song increased and it grew in meaning to me. I watched the world show its worst aspects, it's carelessness.
Looking at the distance and wondering when that next summer will be.
Inner Beats
This was created while my voice decided to go out on me
since I couldn't sing all I could really do was encourage movement and what better way to move than to dance. Even if it's just tapping my foot to a beat.
These are all fairly long so they might even function as music to workout to. I know I've listened to them while running.
I hope you enjoy!
This album will be available to stream worldwide in 2023
A song for the introvert in all of us.
Written during a time where the invites kept coming and my desire to go out was almost non existent.
You know when your Social meter has run out?
I get like that sometimes
James and the Techiarchs is a story that I will be releasing in the future.
It's been in development for years and as such has had music created for it.
I just remastered it and it sounds much better. In the future I will be recreating it entirely as it is one of the Lost Music pieces.
The original composition vanished due to a technical issue.
But the full audio remains. Enjoy it here before Worldwide release on April 26th.
Lilies & Roses was created some 16 years ago
an unfortunate tech issue deleted the original work
all I have left is the single audio file.
It was a favorite of my grandmother so it has a special place in my heart
My time In the studio is had on inspiration
So many songs started by doing a play break in between creating a different song.
These are the songs that I'm working on.
Check them out!
