A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THIS ALBUM:
Hello again.
So glad you're here.
​
So, I began working on a new album project this last summer.
And here’s a little Behind The Scenes info:
What tend to happen for me at the beginning phases of a music project is:
I choose a group of songs to work on, start recording them, and as I continue along the process, seemingly out of the blue, a theme or link between the songs starts to develop. It always seems to happen very unexpectedly. It makes my heart beat fast.
It's the most exciting time of the project for me.
All kinds of ideas and possibilities start to occur. The commonalities between the songs get stronger, the arrangements come together, the melodies start popping and playing off each other, I rework lyrics to jibe more with the overall idea.
It’s absolutely thrilling.
Usually.
​
In the case of the album I started last summer, that never happened.
The songs never felt like they worked together as a larger album.
It was frustrating. I almost just scrapped the whole thing.
#Fail
​
But instead of scrapping it I just left it alone for a couple of months and worked on other non-musical things.
​
When I came back to it what I discovered was that although the songs didn’t work as a full album, they worked very well in smaller bites...three-song bites to be accurate.
Each group of three seemed to have a mind of its own. They all locked arms, stamped their feet and demanded to be together.
It was kind of eerie.
​
So with that in mind, I pivoted away from the album idea, and decided to release them as four individual three-song EPs, each with its own theme and vibe.
I'll release one of these every few months over the course of the year.
And there you have it.
​
This first EP of the group is this one - WITNESS MOON.
These three songs are about secrets, ghosts, and a villain with bad intentions.
Seemed like the right time of year to release it.
​
I hope you enjoy this, Longtime Listener...
Thanks again for being here.
