Sunrise Sets [New Songs Up!]

About Me

I believe that music is more than just something to dance to... the message, the passion... all are integral to real music, to the real experience.
I love music and I've been playing various forms on various instruments basically all my life. I started playing guitar fairly recently as a way to experience music without the pressures of deadlines or lessons. This is a fun outlet for my musical creativity, and I will post songs as I record and mix them. My style is constantly changing and every song is unique, as I've been experimenting with many different kinds of sounds. However, I'm starting to see some constants developing in my newer songs and I think I'm settling into my own unique sound. Clearly, my current recordings are rough demos, but I will soon make some more professional recordings of my new songs and release an EP (the process hopefully starts in September and the EP is hopefully out by the end of 2008). I'm very excited already to show you what I've been working on recently, and I'm sure that some of you will love it and some of you will hate it, but I sincerely hope that you will hear the words, try to understand the message, feel the music, and realize how great you can be.

On a less serious note, you should check out my clothing sponsor, Venaca Clothing. They make some tight clothes and the owner is a great guy. It's going to be huge.
I always reply to comments! :)
