Unseen progression
Unmatched exception
Exactly not the same
Misplaced migration
Lesser derivation
Momentum will remain
Murky expectation
Blurry generation
Legacy aflame
Bark is coming down
The bark is coming down
Bark is coming down
The bark is coming down
Baffled formation
Motley combination
Texture is to blame
Tangled rotation
Tortured degradation
Pulverized remains
Gaudy* modulation
Marred interpretation
Exactly not the same
Bark is coming down
The bark is coming down
Bark is coming down
The bark is coming down
Bark is coming down
The bark is coming down

Simply dissolve
Lives and landscapes left to erode
gambit revoked, forever untold
border unbridled, left to resolve
always resolve , simply dissolve
Simply dissolve
Left all alone, it always dissolves
Left to itself, it always resolves
Left to ourselves, we always resolve
Left all alone, we simply dissolve

Dropping off the Edge

Whisper that I need you
Breath in all your threat
Skirting all your hurdles
Sidestep all the tales
Bypass all the peril and dread
Yes, I still need you
And, yes, I always will
Sweet demur deferral
Dropping all the pretense
Dropping off the edge into thrill

Between These Walls

|
red bird, grey sky
trouble up and down the line
braided grove, twisted wood
stories intertwine
hillside weeping
water torn from shallow sand
slumbering abundance
lax and underplanned
pensive nightfall
thin blanket laid to rest
blind terraced innocence
cool and unexpressed
muddled cliff top
daring and unrefined
artfully abstracted
forever misaligned
red bird, grey sky
when I walk between these walls
when I rest beside this cave
when I climb beyond those falls
nothing will remain behind
for someone else to find
(and) maybe shed a tear

about
The “Gardens Of Tone” album was written and recorded in the small town of Bilpin, New South Wales, Australia. Bilpin is situated in the Greater Blue Mountains UNESCO World Heritage Area, an amazing landscape of unique flora, fauna, and land formations. All songs on this album are inspired by and, in some cases, directly about this dramatic landscape and the people I met there.
Reflective wistful downtempo rock fusion; laced with dreamy synths, jazz-influenced keyboards, and ethereal vocals; all overlaid onto deliberately strong but offbeat bass & drum rhythm signatures. They feel like little journeys.
Written & Recorded in Bilpin, Australia
Mastered & Produced in Seattle, USA
Special Thanks: I am very grateful to the Bilpin International Ground for Creative Initiatives (BigCi) for hosting me in Australia and providing studio space, support, and fellowship on this inspirational and fulfilling artist residency.
Benefit: All 2018 proceeds from this album will be donated to the protection and enhancement of Gardens Of Stone National Park (Australia).
