Over the course of 2021, I mostly took a long break from writing concert music and instead tinkered with my large collection of sounds I'd liked and recorded, stitching them together with words I'd written and a variety of mostly random instruments that I am not an expert at, although you will hear the occasional sound of the violin, my primary instrument. Each song, as a whole with its video, is a patchwork snapshot of a place I spent time in during 2021: my parents' house in north carolina, upstate new york, moosehead lake in maine, the gloucester artist residency in virginia, baltimore late at night. I hope you'll take the time to watch the videos, which were made in a similarly collaged spirit, all using iMovie and iPhone footage.

Besides violin, this little album contains the sounds of tenor guitar, octave fiddle, loon calls, various cutlery, kalimba, field recordings of all sorts, and my sometimes unintelligible voice.
