    Thank you so much to any who download this EP. It means so much to me that you would support me. Sincerely, thank you!

    As a way of saying thank you, I'll let you in on a little secret behind "29 Satellites." There is an effect that has small, melodic beeps within it. It plays 29 times in the song! I had a difficult time figuring out how to incorporate that idea, but eventually, found the way to make it work!

    That song is based on a true story I experienced with my mother. We were stargazing one night when there was a particular meteor shower more easily viewable that night. (Saw 3 meteors then!) Something happened though that surprised my mom. One by one, equally spaced Satellites passed over in the same exact flight path or trajectory. She hadn't ever seen this before and that really inspired the excitement and feeling of inspiration of the song. I was so happy to have experienced this with my mother. Even without her reaction, just seeing the tiny little dots crossing the sky in such a rhythmic way was very cool!

The asphalt burns The grass cuts deep And satellites, Above you tonight One by one they pass... 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times Graceful winds Leather against your skin Verdant eyes Stargazing Oh Satellites 29 times 29 times 29... Times Fly fly fly Fly fly fly Fly fly fly Fly on by Satellites One by one they pass... 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29 times 29... Times

A girl who never lived a kid. She was raised to raise. Now maybe this is morbid, But that just conjures malaise. She tells me her brother found liquid courage. But did it pan out how he wanted? A blaze of metal and umbrage. Looks like success was twisted. The hands we're dealt Don't define us. The hands we're dealt Mostly hurt us. {Interlude} In the darkness of the night, A beast comes to pass. Broken by the fright, Reaching critical mass. The hands we're dealt Don't define us. The hands we're dealt Mostly hurt us. The hands we're dealt The hands we're dealt They don't bind us. There is a way out If you look in the sky. Keep your head held high. Forget your cards.

about

"This is Reverb" blends my own style with influences from Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Experimental places. I experimented a lot with my guitar and creation of effects. Having most of my influences in Shoegaze, I love effects. I learned a lot from delving into Tremolos, Phasers, Flangers and of course, Reverb.

The range from "29 Satellites" being the most Shoegaze-y to "Buoy Magick" being the most Experimental, "This is Reverb" expresses a certain love to the power of Reverb. It can be a tool to blend beautiful sound or enhance terrifying mistakes 10-fold! There is certainly a balance.
