This project contains a variety of pieces that I’ve written over the last few years. I wasn’t sure what compositions I wanted to record. Luckily I got some of my favorite players (who are also my dearest friends) involved, and that made choosing easy. I knew that I wanted to showcase their talents more than anything else. But also, I wanted to create frameworks for the sounds and shapes that I find interesting, so I created structures for the melodies, harmonies, and rhythms that I enjoy - that would also hopefully inspire my fellow bandmates/friends.
