about
***Download the album and get three bonus tracks: "Newt", "Seance" and "Thug Party"!***

From early January to mid-March 2012, I turned off my phone and recorded 60-some instrumentals. When each session was done, the mix was exported to a folder titled "Do Not Listen". This intention was to open the folder and listen to everything at a later date, with fresh ears, to see what I liked. I figured I'd get an album out of it.

Turns out, I really liked about half of the "tunes". So I'm releasing Do Not Listen in two chunks; Volume 1 came out a couple weeks ago and now, if you're ready for it, here's Vol 2.

As always, each of these instrumentals was written, recorded and mixed in one sitting (give or take). For the most part, I was trying to write challenging but gorgeous chord progressions to solo over, and find the balance between beauty and absurdity. Did I succeed? I dunno but I really like this stuff.


THANK YOU.

And thanks to Matt Picone at Fractal Audio (AxeFX) and Joe Waltz and Alan Chaput at Eventide (the 'Factor stompboxes) for helping me achieve all the sonic demolitions I hear in my head, and more.
