I started writing songs after reading a foreword by Anne Sexton's daughter in a collection of poems. She said that her mother's therapist encouraged her mother to write poems as an outlet, and subsequently he encouraged her to share them in case they could help others.
I like to think I'm doing the same, but at several points throughout this album process, I doubted whether these songs were for others or just for me. I still don't really have an answer, I think. Some of these are more on-the-nose than others. Some of these are gratuitous and others are probably cloistered.
Some are just outright about people with whom I made Let's Play videos in the 2010s. I am doing well thank you for asking! Unregistered Hypercam 2 released on March 1st, 2026.
I released Big Club on September 26th, 2025. It is an album about how hopeless it can feel sometimes to be trapped in exploitative cycles. It is the last of three albums recorded during the summer of 2025.
Fettuccine Alfredo Diorama released on August 31st. This is my fourth full-length tape, and the second of my space-fi explorations. Some of these songs are survivors from the Hermit Crab Sarcophagus sessions, but most were written after the fact. Three new Compulsions songs break this one up at the beginning, middle, and end!
I released my third tape, Hermit Crab Sarcophagus on June 2nd, 2025. It was the last album recorded fully on my Tascam MF-P01 Portastudio before my recent upgrade to a Porta03 MkII. You'll find out more about that when the next one releases! Until then, please enjoy Hermit Crab Sarcophagus. I'm calling it a Space-Fi record for now, but let me know if you have a better genre for it.
I released Commercial Break on November 4th 2024! This album was fully recorded and mixed using a Tascam MF-P01 Portastudio (with some mastering in Audacity to reduce the tape hiss). Check out the album below, and let me know your favorite song from it using the Contact Me form at the bottom of the page!
On May 22nd, 2024, I released You Are In Wilkinsburg Now? I've been working on this album since 2017, technically, but I didn't start recording until late 2021. You Are in Wilkinsburg Now? is available now, both digitally and on cassette tape over on my Bandcamp! You can use the player below to listen to the album!
You can always find out more about what I'm working on by heading over to the Current Projects page. I'll be keeping that page updated with any new plans for music, any tape compilations I may be putting together, and any new collages that I'm ready to share. Here's one I made recently, which I'm calling Kibitzer.
You can hear my cover of Hot Freaks below! Thanks again to Luigi for letting me contribute.
I've got a cover of the Mountain Goats' Romans 10:9 below! If you like that one, I've got plenty of covers over at The Cover Zone.
