about

Spiralhead is a short collection of guitar and synthesizer improvisations recorded over the last 6 years. I go through phases of recording at home for fun, and I've built up quite a bit of material. Spiralhead comprises some of the more ambient, improvisational, and relaxing pieces in my collection. This is something you'll listen to right before going to bed maybe.

One common thread goes through this work. None of these performances were captured with any real thought given to releasing them into the public. I was simply creating music for its own sake and my own enjoyment. In some cases, I was testing out a new piece of gear or trying to determine if an old microphone was working properly (it wasn't). You will hear plenty of mistakes, both in the performances and in the recording techniques. But something keeps me coming back to these pieces. I think there are some magical moments of serendipity that wouldn't have happened if I had been more structured in my approach. I love this music for all its flaws- especially for its flaws.
