We put acoustic guitars, tuned to resonate with my guitar, next to each of the four mics. I played without headphones hoping to catch some interplay with the various resonations, re-amps and effects — a true ensemble...

There are sounds from electric guitars that Eli and I layed on top of a turned-up amp, re-amping my acoustic guitar, resonating the electric guitars, and recording them through effects and pedals.

“Through a Frame” is the second take, and “Pollen Drop” the first. Everything you hear is live, no overdubs, and sourced in different ways from the live acoustic guitar mics. There is live re-amped and re-recorded guitar into the big church room of the Unknown studio.

but I feel a sense of spaciousness, ease and openness in these pieces, as if it has taken a decade for my musical expression to soften, ripen, settle in. And it has.

Now it is 2026. Ten years after I quit school to pursue music. I’m living back in North Carolina. I pick up my guitar a couple times a week or month. I’ve written a humble handful instrumental guitar pieces... all much less than I used to...

In 2014, I moved from North Carolina to Copenhagen, Denmark to learn how to build windmills. I dropped out of school in 2016, convinced that the most important thing I could do was to play guitar all day every day.

Through a Frame / Pollen Drop is out now... musings on leaving and returning, on decade-long cycles of life, on stepping too far, and on gradually learning one’s way. lnkfi.re/through-a-fr...

On Friday May 8, I'll be releasing "Through a Frame / Pollen Drop", my first new music in 6 years. Around the release, I'll be performing Through a Frame, Pollen Drop, and a couple other instrumental guitar pieces at some of Durham/Hillsborough's natural/artificial areas.

I made a temperature controller for my partner for Xmas so she can keep her natural dyeing pots at a constant simmer without needing to tend to the stove / without risking boiling over. Never been more excited to watch a pot simmer!

+1. Just share music you like with your friends all the time, people! Share platform agnostic links, people! Say it with me — “platform agnostic links”. Screenshot from a friend’s post. Get it together y’all.

Thanks! Yours too! What are yours for? This is my first mortar and pestle! I wish I had a dremel for it honestly. Closer up:
