WAIT (SINGLE)
This track was the result of a workshop at Ableton’s Pasadena headquarters just a week or so after the Eaton fire was contained. The air was still heavy and acrid, and recent political events were depressing and enraging. But I had a creative community at the workshop, and making this track alongside them returned me…

GOLDEN SUNRISE (SINGLE)
I grew up in Santa Cruz, California, and in my late twenties I lived in a trailer park just five minutes’ walk from the immense cliffs that rise directly from the Pacific shore. Though I was never a surfer, I’d wake at dawn and join them on my morning walks along the water. Nearly year-round,…

OPEN ROAD (SINGLE)
During those phases of my life when I was touring, I watched countless towns and cities scroll by through the window of a truck. Sometimes I traveled alone and sometimes with bandmates.

LAUREL SKY (SINGLE)
This was among the last tracks I made in my first apartment studio in Portland, a couple months before the pandemic struck. That day, I remained at my standing workstation with a small keyboard in front of me, improvising layers for hours until I had a complete track, all while contemplating the rainy sky and…

COOPER MOUNTAIN (SINGLE)
As with many of you, the onset of the covid-19 pandemic and the general halt prompted me to reconsider the entire way I had been living. I’d been dabbling in electronic music for years, but in those early days outside of normal time, I decided to make it my main creative outlet going forward. I…
