Here you’ll find my solo, improvisational guitar and ambience projects. Hover over each cover for a description of the project and links to additional information, or click to listen on Bandcamp. You can also find these albums on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon Music.
“VESSEL” - this album is a single, long form improvisation (no overdubs!) using techniques I spent several years developing with a guitar + pedals + amp + laptop based system.
“Live at Bastsion” - a recording of a live guitar improvisation from Bastion, in Nashville, TN.
“Silent City” - you might think of this as the b-side to VESSEL. This is another long form improvisation taken from the same session, and using the same rig, as VESSEL…
“Ephemera” - my most ambient release, a collection of pieces using a very basic pedal based setup.

“mood” - A personal favorite of mine, mood is a collection of raw guitar improvisations recorded during a heatwave, using a simple setup with just a few pedals, an amp, and a binaural microphone. Maybe my most “personal” project.
