REVERIES 22 #14 “persevere”
I am truly sorry for not putting out more music. To you, for sure, and also to myself. It makes me realize, when I go as long as I have now in a stretch of not putting out reveries, how much it has been a lifesaver for me.
so, anyways, hopefully I will be putting them out again more regularly. I find that I get knocked off schedule pretty easily if life isn’t in a routine routine and also that I’m just generally confused about what to be working on right now.
that said I think that I initially felt that reveries would be more often like this one, just a little song poem for a day.
REVERIES 22 #13 “a string theory”
so sorry I have been missing. what a weird year ha what a thing to say again. I have been finishing up an actual album. in the meantime, here is this.
REVERIES 22 #11 “next winter”
yes, there are some missing. I have been recording a lot but none good enough to post. but soon. maybe I will recover the dozens of lost ones someday. maybe next winter!

I would like to maybe release these as an ep together. I might add one or two more, depending on how time flies.

the late night swells
navigating through
hellos and farewells
REVERIES 21 #56 “what you wish for”

out there
REVERIES 21 #53 “hero-ish”

REVERIES 21 #50 “home schooled”
schooled by
it the
quest
of quests
REVERIES 21 #49 “home steady”
playing piano and pretending I can play piano is one of my favorite things and maybe is the earliest that music became “my thing”… I remember having what I thought were (and were most definitely not) good sessions on my Grandpa’s yellow piano when I was pretty young… maybe six.
this is not that piano, but the feeling I got from recording these was similar.

again
again in the day
again in the night
again in a song
again in my fright
again in the missing
is it you
or a missing piece of me?

REVERIES #37 “solar solstice”
am always wanting to mark this apex
in a way
that is
as though
reverb of light
echo of light
trailing light
can traverse through
next
I never manage the right reverence though
I can’t fling things forward
except to hope
and hope is not light
hope is probably made of light
but it isn’t light
