Like my other two albums, this is a collection of new material based solely on my compositions on the piano. I do not do vocals. I write poetry but have not set lyrics to most of this just because I am coming at it from another place. Lyrics have meaning but so do melodies. I am my own boss in my own little creative world here so this is how I do it. I do hope you like it, can feel from it, all of that. Most of the material here is “re-producible,” some is not. Some of these are the original, one-shot-from-the-heart recordings. I have written down the changes and have recorded them again but the originals force a conclusion and an empathy the others don’t. I am working on that to be better at it.

The human Soul is a garden with a gate that acts like a window. Beyond either, lies neither. Knowing who you are will allow you to use both. Thanks to my mom for that.
