about

This album was created as a challenge to myself: I wanted to write music I don't normally write, and to play instruments I don't normally play. I am trained as a violinist, but I found myself wanting more. I wanted to see if I could create a musical world by myself, as sole composer and performer, without fancy equipment or instruments. Although it isn't perfect, I hope it comes across as honestly as it was created. Thank you for listening!

Track Name: Eyelash Horizon
Blind and anxious blue, like sun in clear sky, we watched the night in wandering embrace. It fell on us in brilliant white. Drizzled lips, in glowing red horizons, sketched a purple kiss, painted on the echos of black starlight.
Patience gliding green in tortured comfort, captured off a cliff, opened mirrors silver with affection. Light the orange glow. Flames in wandering blue, embraced in drizzled kiss, floating sweet in red eyelash horizons.
Track Name: Warrior
Am I only worthy of indifference in the careless hands of trust? I can only question it like a warrior.
I don't ask about the anchors of unconditional love. You can interrogate your own grace while I mourn this furious condition.
Track Name: The Blue Man
Alone at night, I think of the blue man and feel somewhat comforted. If I close my eyes, will he come? Will he stay? Will he have a name? Alone at night, he dances inside of a single dream.
I see his house in the silver between two furious clouds. The sky is crazy in love with his passionate ire. I find myself asleep. Yet as we dance, he seems alone like me.
Track Name: Ten Twenty-Eight
It feels like we walked into morning together, but the clouds were just mine, creeping over the cold while I bathed in my own remorse.
My breath was a cloud, and somewhere you could see it. Somewhere it yours, somewhere it mine. Somewhere it was yours igniting mine.
Track Name: Dominion
The worlds I admire most are colliding, into an endless dominion of what I consider love.
I sat in the chasm waiting. Patience is only festered in darkness where the stars bloom.
And as they faded, my heart sank, into the depth where it won't ever gasp for illusion.
Track Name: Carry On
I'm just sitting here, watching the cold, industrial sky migrate toward the void. There's no rainbow in October. I'm watching shadows carry on.
My clothes are layered, the windows are shut, and the sky is breathing December. The vague evening keeps floating away...
I'm on top of the sky here, watching shadows carry on. I'm watching shadows carry on, carry on.
