about

Here you will discover meditative acoustic guitar explorations that conjure global musical soundscapes - subtle interweavings and inspirations from India and Ireland, alongside invocations of Appalachia and Big Sur.

Songs From My Solitude For a Love Soon Arriving: the title invokes the spirit of Kabir, Rumi, and Hafiz - for whom the relation to the divine is configured in terms of a relation to the Beloved. The album takes the listener on a journey to love, by way of a passage into the spacious stillness of the solitudinal, wherein one may discern the nuances of the longing and belonging in all their diverse forms. Simple melodies set against the drones and harmonic resonances of a solitary guitar conjure the feeling of this space most powerfully. Along the way, the compositions offer an intimate view on the experiences of wakefulness that arise in making oneself into an offering, an offering of love and faith.
