About Me

The Wolftree isn't so much a "band" as much as it is just a guy with a digital recorder and a bunch of instruments. This is just my place to put up the demos that I actually get around to finishing. I hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy making it!

Also, check out some other tunes that I've worked on with my friend Jesse at www.myspace.com/theghostinyourear

"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:

THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC"
