about

Part I (Look at the Stars) blends synths recorded in my old apartment in Hamtramck with a ballad performed on an old piano at the Traffic Jam restaurant in Detroit. Bookending the track are two recordings of my nephew, who was a toddler at the time. I especially enjoy the opening moments where you can hear him marvel at a night's sky full of stars. Blended throughout you will hear a procession of found sounds including a light rain, a wind chime, church bells and bird song. The keyboards finally fade back into the backyard where we join my sister, mom, niece and nephew playing with silly string.
