Albums that seem like only you know about them: After The Flood is not only a beautiful package, but the music is wonderfully otherworldly (ranging from spacey electronica to blissed out alternative and lots in between). Dale Lloyd joined forces with Cindy Sharp, Windy & Carl, and many others.

Pleased to announce The Synthesis Co-op Volume 2, November 6, 2026, on tape, CD, and digital (physicals come with a fabulously designed printed zine). Not sure how I lucked into being included, but Volume 1 was a real treat, so I'm very much looking forward to more. Stay tuned! tscoop.bandcamp.com

Can't believe summer is almost over already. Autumn officially arrives September 22, and with it comes the final installment of my Season Cycle project. Season Cycle: Autumn is less #ambient than the other seasons, and all of the songs have an emotional and nostalgic undertone.

Late summer, looking west - I need to come here for a sunset. A roughly 30 minute walk from my daughter’s apartment. She could walk here almost every day!
