WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS ALBUM?
My greatest hope is that BLUE HOUSE [LIVE] takes you somewhere ...
Not only through the years that these compositions have evolved, but beyond the noise of everyday life. A place of peace, wonder, reflection, and imagination
While touring this year, I spent countless hours on the road thinking about the different chapters of my life ... where I've been, where I am now, and what comes next. BLUE HOUSE [LIVE] became a reflection of those thoughts
The album contains 5 quartet performances from my 2026 repertoire, including one composition that has never been released before
This project is especially meaningful because I am handling nearly every aspect of its creation myself ... from recording and mixing to mastering and artwork design. For years, I've dreamed of creating an album as close to my complete artistic vision as possible, and thanks to your support, I'm finally able to do exactly that
I hope these sounds inspire you, challenge you, and transport you somewhere unexpected ...
A place full of magic and wonder :)
