this silence is deafening...

About Me


click here
this music manifests itself through the deafening and often depressing silence who at last has demanded a voice...
who am I to deny her?
my history... i have walked this earth almost twenty three years. music has always been prominent in some way along my path, varying in degrees of intensity throughout the many periods of this journey. early years of classical violin and piano, followed by later years of percussion and acoustic guitar have paved the foundation for songwriting, giving a voice to the powerful force i feel inside me; sometimes whispering, sometimes yelling, continually demanding that i write music. it is all i have. the only thing i can call my own. it is healing. it is a release. it has helped me to evolve. it has completely consumed me. it is now my life.
the road i have traveled has also presented two incredibly talented bands, both requesting a violinist. please support cohen & the ghost and field day and send them a friend request, love, and support.
all songs are recorded using garageband in my bedroom on a macbook either through the internal microphone or through a pre amp and a higher quality mic. all sound mixing and producing is also achieved at wee hours of the morning.
first song above is posted only as an example of what a finished song might sound like or what i am capable of producing, however it will not be on the album. currently the finished product is rare and the remainder of the six songs you hear above are the rough and raw foundation of songs i have either not finished writing or simply wanted to experiment with. i have posted them to gain insight and hopefully hear feedback: what you think works, what does not work, what you would like to hear, etc. all songs above and many you have not yet heard will be on an album i would like to complete by the end of this year. spring is a more realistic goal however i have never been realistic but fantastically stubborn. so we will see.
the songs to the left are all available for you to download at no cost. if the widget has trouble loading, simply click reverbnation in the top right hand corner or follow the link listed under band website to download the mp3 files. these songs are primarily ancient and were recorded during a time of isolation and regeneration. some are more recent: "tallahassee war song," "tallahassee loves d minor," and "meditating with night noise in south carolina" were all recorded live with philliam and alex of Cohen & the Ghost. much thanks and love to them. please enjoy.
