Notice: this website is under construction! There are still a few songs missing from the timeline.
What follows are all the songs I can find that I ever created, since I started making music when I was 15.
To give you some sense of which songs are good, I've marked the songs with a three-tier system:

2024 so far has been a great year, and I'm excited to make more music!

At the very end of 2022, I quit the tech job that was absolutely killing me, and moved back to New York.
Among other things, this gave me a chance to dip my toe back into music-making.

2022 was an extremely busy year for me. I graduated from college and took a job at a big tech company that I absolutely hated. I had to move to California for the job, and I left behind all my music-making stuff.
So -- not much music.

After recording Scrift in 2020, which was primarily an acoustic album, I had learned a lot about incorporating real instruments into my music.
So, lots of my music in 2021 was me experimenting with combining those real instrument sounds with the more electronic sounds of my earlier music.

When COVID lockdown happened in 2020, my university made us all go home and take classes remotely. I was very bored and took that opportunity to make lots of new music.
At this time, I was taking a jazz history class and listening to lots and lots of jazz. I was also starting to get serious about piano and spent a lot of time learning music theory more deeply.

Scrift is an album I recorded the summer after COVID-19 hit. It was heavily inspired by Mac DeMarco, Dr.Dog, Stereolab, and Grizzly Bear.
There are enough songs on Scrift that it would clutter up the archive to throw them all here, so instead I'll just leave the best ones. You can listen to all the other tracks on Bandcamp or on YouTube.
Looking back at the album, my favorite song has to be French Connection which was my attempt at imitating the addictive, droning krautrock of Pack Yr Romantic Mind, which I believe was my #1 most-played song of 2020.

In 2019, when I was in my second year of university, me and two other students worked on an interactive projection-mapped project for a local art festival called LUMA.
The project was a set of little arcade games that audience members could walk up and play. I wrote a little chiptune song for each of the games, which was pretty fun -- but most of them are fairly unremarkable.

2018 is when I first went really, really hard into making music. I was listening to tons of vaporwave and synthwave at the time, and desperately wanted to make music that good myself.
At the time, I considered my efforts to be complete failures, and I scrapped all the songs I had worked on. A year or two later, however, I went back through them and found some songs that, in retrospect, were actually quite good.
So, I collected my four favourites into an EP called don't worry, although I still never went through the effort of releasing it as a full album -- I just put them up on YouTube and called it a day.

After a couple years of noodling around with dumb little songs, 2017 was when I first thought that I might be starting to be OK at this whole music thing.
So, I put a few of my favourite songs together into an EP called ALLITERATION and released it on Bandcamp.
