Music & Composition
A Fudged Quest
A Fudged Quest is a semi-comedic ghost story detailing the misadventures of a possessed mannequin child in search of fudge. For added atmosphere, click play on the accompanying audio file while you read!
Faces
“Faces” is about the way young women view themselves in a world that presents a single standard of beauty. These lyrics push back against those barriers and question the value systems from which they originate.
The Happenings at the Estate
This is an interactive reading/listening experience. Listen to the accompanying audio with headphones and read at your pace.
Iron Bars
Gorillaz is a virtual band consisting of four cartoon characters—2D, Murdoc, Noodle, Russell Hobbs—created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. In 1998, in an effort to mock what they felt was a superficial music industry, the two created a band whose very essence was superficial. Their albums have a backdrop of the character’s personal “lives,” which are often ridiculous, violent, and as cartoonish as the band itself. This song is a tribute to Gorillaz’s nonsensical ingenuity.
Sunrise
In the newest iteration of “Sunrise,” I explore an acoustic arrangement featuring myself on keyboard and vocals.
see the sun
“See the Sun” is an original song about friendship, and how the people who love you can lift you up out of the darkness.
