about

"Songs From the Wondering Stars" is a 20 minute album of 13 short songs recorded between August 2021 and July 2022 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

In prayerful imagination with guitar and voice, each song was spontaneously created following meditation on one of the 81 "Wondering Stars," a personal collection of geometric emblems. I've developed this practice over the last several years, and I continue to use these emblems to elevate my imagination and enkindle spirit--you can see some of these emblems on the back of the turtle's shell on the album cover.

Shorter than what you might be accustomed to, these songs are neither unfinished nor fragmentary. Rather, they are abstract hymns of their own complete nature, a necessary music born from reflections upon and celebrations of the Mystery in an era that is terribly starved of it.

"To the ears of soft vigilance..."
