About Me

hi.
i have been writing and recording music by myself for the better part of a decade. i guess it all started when i got my first guitar, although i was composing on wind instruments before.
now i kind of incorporate it all.
the recordings to which you can listen are from various times, therefore they will differ in quality, and i will update with better versions/new songs as i can.
i also work under the name CONSULATE, which is usually me and some guests.
i don't have any properly released music, but if you want, i can always burn some songs to a CD for you. just send me a message if you want one. i'll even write you a note.
