about

Seven years since the release of my debut double-album Earth and Sky (2016), I'm thrilled to share my second full-length Old Growth, a collection of solo acoustic compositions recorded live (often by candlelight) in a woodland cabin on the shores of White Lake, Ontario. Deeply inspired by legendary records like Agalloch's The Mantle, Opeth's Morningrise, Ulver's Kveldssanger and Tenhi's Maaäet, Old Growth was my attempt at creating a solo acoustic record that could work as both a standalone musical statement as well as a series of guitar etudes. To accomplish the later, I teamed up with Norwegian composer Martin Romberg of Raven Music Editions (Emperor/Ulver/Myrkur) to publish a tablature book in hopes of inspiring guitarists to explore the art of fingerpicking. In a world where noise has become synonymous with life, I hope these fragile instrumentals can offer a private soundtrack to the quiet truths within, reminding us of our place in this vast forest of existence.
