I Hate This Place

Tonight we're off on wings

About Me

This is music for watching beach waves, city lights through telescopes, people in slow motion. These are songs about life, love, loss, distance, the various transports of delight and despair. Oh yes…and spacecats if you know where to find them =) Watch these clouds as they rise. I Hate This Place is a celebration of everything that puts us off kilter…and everything that brings us back again.
IHTP tracks and discs are available for purchase here!"I Hate This Place is the weirdest variety of beautiful, but stunning none the less. Harmonizing technology and art, I Hate This Place forges an emotional experience not commonly achieved by members of the electronica genre."
- Erica Scimes, The TUB Magazine
"Each song is a unique mix of lightness and deep emotion, and we quickly come to learn that the airy feel of the album is not that of a light breeze, but of someone feeling himself fading away. “Aero” is new ground for the band, and they’ve done a beautiful job. I believe everyone will find something to take with them from this album."
- Stephen Saxton, reviewing "Aero" on CDBaby.com
"It's perfect...great idea done superbly!"
- Jeff Tassin, Emmy Award winning songwriter and performer reviewing "Alchemy (Shit to Gold)" on Garageband.comI Hate This Place/Epilogue - 5Point5 Music Video

Jetlag + Old Radio = Glowbug

3 am in the freezing cold and nothing to do....but I found salvation in this piece of crap radio I have lying around. I've been incorporating a lot of random bleeps and noises into the songs lately......
