about

This music tells the story of my own journey over the past four years -- my own path of pain and self-crucifixion that got me to where I am now, who I am now. This is a story of leaving home in the desert. This is a story of grief. This is a story of mental illness and recovery. This is a story of newfound love and newfound tortures. Most of all, this is a story of resilience.

Recorded in meaningful locations with analog synthesizers and effects, each song is a memory created with and without me, gentle, careening, and explosive.

Listening to this album is always emotional for me, and I hope that others will find it as healing as it is terrifying.
