Smoke Between Your Teeth

Writing "Smoke Between Your Teeth" was a process of obsession; just like my muse in the song's story. The sound of it lingered around my head for days until I felt I had finally pieced it together at the piano (this was back in Australia in 2024).

I Want You

The initial idea for "I Want You" was dredged out of the back catalogue and re-vitalised into a newer version of itself last year here in Boone. The arrangement I wrote for my Senior Composer Recital back in the Fall and my choices were very much inspired by the work of Burt Bacharach.

QUADRANT

Quadrant was formed in Boone on January 22nd, 2017, with no other goal than to bring their ideas to life and share their music with the world. What started as a group of friends with a dream, has now become a reality that they strive to achieve. Quadrant is known for their slow, sludgy and dirty guitar riffs that complement their explosive, thrash, and even funk rock sound.

Headhunter

Headhunter is about a space cowboy bounty hunter.

Breath of The Sun

Breath of The Sun is a song about pulling yourself up out of a dark situation.
