North Country Pines
Traced from three verses written in a pocket ledger. Fingerpicked spruce guitar recorded with a single ribbon microphone straight to warm quarter-inch tape.
Late Train to Hudson
A quiet waltz chronicling winter commutes along the riverbank. Layered with felted upright piano chords, subtle room decay, and uncompressed room vocals.
Low Tide at Dawn
Composed at daybreak overlooking coastal salt marshes. Features an open drone tuning paired with bowed acoustic cello and distant room ambiance.
Tape decks and paper margins
Every song in this catalog was tracked live in an open living room, capturing the scrape of fingers against roundwound bronze strings and natural timber acoustics. Nothing is pitch-corrected or pushed against digital ceiling limiters.
Complete lyric manuscripts, chord diagrams, and alternate tunings are documented for each piece. If you play acoustic guitar or piano, these transcriptions invite you to make the arrangements your own.
