“titled ‘afar, farewell’, these five tracks quiver with a tension that evokes the twilight moment between daylight and darkness, and thrum with a grandeur borrowed from mountains and canyons.”
- nathan thomas for fluid radio
friends, family, fans; it is with immense pleasure that i present “afar, farewell,” my collaboration album with jason corder (offthesky). this collection has been a year in the making, each track carefully crafted between two stubborn and perfectionist composers. we really tried to marry our unique musical identities on this release - my moody drones with jason’s atmospheric textures.
