noise 'music'. i had a brief friendship with someone who was deep into noise and hated when people catch-all called it noise music; myself included. i don't know about what's a category error and what's trivial hairsplitting. I do know that there is some music here, and there's some noise - feel free to academically parse it out, or feel free to not worry about it too much; this is sheer experimentation and not an ontological debate about sound and culture. my work has always been somewhere in the noise realm, but never outright noise. this is about as close as it gets to outright noise. i'm not too worried about it.

Arcadia Anthology (2013-2023)
Perfect Match
February 7th 2025
A collection of singersong-writer-ish songs recorded over the last ten years collected from disparate projects, my old mediafire account, and voice memos. some lush, harmonious, psychedelic, smitten, spontaneous, tunes. releasing these because I think they showcase the aims and ambitions of this project best - they have words with meaning.

Perfect Match

the culmination of fucking everything I love in music; from Baritone crooning, confessional diary-entry folk, avant-garde poetry, noisey shoegaze guitar solos, overdrive autotune, and teetering past the Overton window of good taste.

piano improvisations covering all twelve minor keys, albeit with non-diatonic flairs, recorded on iphone in the uvic practice rooms on their Steinway pianos, and ever-so-slightly affected by various plugins.
