I make music and things that make music. This page is more or less supplemental to the blog featured on my main website, with specific consideration towards Tumblr readers and the capabilities of the format. Hopefully I'll post some relevant and interesting information here. We'll just have to see where it goes!

This afternoon I cleansed my aching heart in the drizzle, driving through hanging bows of orange and red flowing from the mountains to the churning Delaware. I could just dissolve into the beauty of my beloved Bucks County, even in the rain. Even in the dark. I thought about the love growing foolishly and ceaselessly in my buzzing chest. I'm not afraid; the future is not tainted. I want to love and be loved in spite of it all.
