Songs
Demos
These songs are the on the short-list for my next album. These have all been recorded at home using Garageband on an iMac with no plugins. I use a Shure microphone my parents bought for me and an M-Audio interface.

Sylvanus
This is my first album, recorded at Solidman Studios in New York City and released in 2004. Sylvanus is a very ancient deity who represents the wild nature in all of us, the animal and the lover, the musician, the dancer, and, when pressed, a protector of the Earth.

Miscellaneous Songs
These are complete songs that I have written (including guitar music) that for whatever reason are not on the short list for my next album. That’s not to say some of them won’t make the next one. I play many of them live, though, and try to break out ones I haven’t played in a while every once in a while to see if they will break into rotation.
