about

I began a project in 2018 that I called the "Death Songs" project, where I recorded covers in tribute to artists who passed in 2018 who I knew of and respected (mainly), and if I thought I could interpret a song in the fashion that I do things. It started off "great" but as the death horse rode on, I began to get overwhelmed with the project, as well as not finding a lot of time to dedicate to it as other musical ventures presented themselves to me.
I will endeavour to add more songs to this compilation when I can. These are all home-recorded songs compiled in chronological order by recording date.
All songs were recorded on a Zoom PS-04 digital 4-track and then mixed/tweaked with using Garageband on a Macbook Pro.

All songs previously released via soundcloud.
