This past year I've been drawn to a much less formal mode of music-making, certainly out of necessity, which offered me an opportunity to focus on solo playing in a way I hadn't before.
The process of getting to this music was long. I did my best to let it unfold organically, gently, and I hear that energy reflected in the music. This album, my first of solo pieces, presents sounds that are often small, struggling, hiding behind each other, and/or competing for resonance. It values each sound for what it is and for as long as it needs to be heard.
