ABOUT

Simply put, I'm a singer-songwriter looking for all kinds of musicians to collaborate with and help me finish a concept album. I'm especially interested in working with people who can think outside the box and have the ability (and willingness) to create parts that are as interesting, as simple, and as complimentary to a shared work of art as possible.

I've been developing this music for a number of years and have been trying very hard to focus my efforts to just iron out the basics (melody, lyrics, chord progression, key, and some rhythm). This is both to make sure each song has value without imposing my own limitations of musical education and instrumentation.

Here are a couple of the songs: NOTE: I plan to keep them private until they've been further developed and re-recorded.

Please tell me what you think (complete honesty is appreciated) and if you are interested in collaborating, at any level. Text or email preferred.

Influences

I'm hoping to finalize the songs into a sound that would probably be considered "indie-folk" (similar to Sufjan Stevens / Fiest / Bright Eyes / Decemberists / Bon Iver / Frou Frou / Postal Service / Ryan Adams / St Vincent / Broken Bells / Swell Season / Vampire Weekend).
