9 years ago I was preparing myself for the journey of a lifetime; leaving my home town to try and make it on my own in the world… Just before making my move to Texas from North Carolina, I was having all kinds of anxiety and hit a major creative rut, so I decided to challenge myself to see if I could perform while playing Drums and Piano at the same time. So I set up a “frankenstein kit” with the kick drum under the keyboard, and the rest of the drums around my piano bench; put some room mics up in my parents garage and hit record!…
What came out of that session would later become my “Through The Great Desert” album; featuring 2 tracks, clocking in at around 30 min total runtime. This album is intended to be an auditory journey which play upon the anticipation, anxieties, confidence and character that come with making life changing decisions. After the initial recording session, I mixed the drums and keys and began overlaying Flute and Voice Messages over top to help fill in some of the empty spaces or create tension. When I felt like i could do no more, I turned it over to my good friend and producer J-Dub(ATX), who truly helped give it that well rounded and warm ambient tone in the final mixing and mastering process!!
So, to mark this wonderful day, I will be offering “Through The Great Desert” for free to download through my Bandcamp page! Click the link below to get your free download, and I truly hope you enjoy it ❤
