About Me

I made music on my own all throughout high school. Some of it survives on 4-track recordings that no one will ever hear. When I was 18, I started playing in an indie band that later turned into a post-rock type of band called Hills Like White Elephants. At the same time, I played with an indie-rock band called The Portraits. At the same time, I played a few shows with an improvisational noise/performance art project called Pear Hands.
This last summer, I did some recording for my friend Arsh Khaira, and started recording my own album which is currently on my hard drive waiting for me to mix it. I'm expecting it this summer. What you see here are working demos. I hope you enjoy them.
Here are some kind words.
"Jom Comyn is a man of song in the most classic sense. His songs drive the hour hand and snuff the last burning embers of the evening out in a smokey undwindling."

New Mix? But Why?

Hello readers/listeners,I thought it might seem redundant to re-post a song that was already posted, but I was never really happy with 'Greenland'. It was always fraught with technical blips and pops ...
