WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS ALBUM?

When listening to PAST LIVES … it is my highest hope that you are taken on AN ADVENTURE ! Not only through the years as I wrote and recorded these sounds, but to another realm. A place of peace. A refuge from this crazy world, if only for a little while.

PAST LIVES is my exploration of the past, present, and future … while on the road this year, I had a lot of time to think about the previous stages of my life and wonder about what comes next …

There will be 16 songs … last about 80 minutes (a true double LP) … with 4 vocal songs featuring Marisol Llaudes, whose vocal contributions serve as emotional anchor points to the PAST LIVES narrative

(Take a listen to Marisol below)

I’ve also sought to explore new sonic landscapes … writing for string quartet (which is a BIG first for me) … as well as other genre influences and production techniques

Another way in which PAST LIVES is different, is that it is the first album that I wrote on an ACTUAL piano !

I will also be mixing/mastering the entire album as well as creating the artwork (which you can see below) … it has been my dream for a while now to create as much of album by myself as I possibly can, in order to fully realize my vision … and thanks to you, I am finally able to do so !

I hope that these sounds inspire you, make you think, and take you on a journey to a place full of magic and wonder :)

FAQ

When do pre-sale orders ship ?

Pre-orders will March 2026 … it’s really hard to predict when large order will be manufactured (especially vinyl orders) … so, I’ll be in touch if anything changes … I know that’s a long time from now, but think of it as a late holiday present to yourself !!!

What is the super-secret surprise you have planned ?

Wouldn’t be a secret if I told you …

What songs are on PAST LIVES ?

16 songs … 4 vocal tracks … 7 songs with string quartet … almost entirely new compositions, except 1 that was reworked to add string accompaniment

What musicians are on PAST LIVES ?

an ensemble cast of musicians, both veterans and young lions … some of the usual suspects that are on all my records and a few debut performances from up and coming artists that you NEED to know about :)
