I’m at a bit of a crossroads with the seasonal release thing. On one hand, I’m really proud of what’s been finished so far. Autumn is kind of insane and the two pieces I’ve finished for winter are my most personal about going blind. As I mentioned, this whole thing would cover that year … Read more
I’m not convinced this is actually good but thought I’d share the work in progress anyway. Moving from kaleidoscopes Somewhere underground Going down the rabbit hole I’m lost inside a sound Open eyes to mediate Filtered through the noise Soon enough this hunt is on It’s not like there’s a choice This … Read more

I worked on Black Squirrel pretty extensively again this morning. In the spirit of yesterday’s post, I thought I’d continue to document my work in progress. As evidenced below, I wasn’t kidding when writing that the first draft could change quite substantially. Now verses have an entirely different structure and some chorus lyrics have … Read more
Black Squirrel is an idea I’ve been developing for awhile now. It’s still in an extremely embryonic stage (as evidenced by the lack of a second verse) but I thought I’d post it anyway. I might remove it at some point but if I don’t, it could end up looking totally different down the … Read more
After weeks of anticipation, sunrise has brought a new set of lyrics to the website. I won’t bore everyone with a long pre-amble here.
