about

Music made for family picture collages during what will likely be the happiest period of my adult life.

“Mark Mothersbaugh + Hiroshi Yoshimura.”

- A friend's generous feedback.
(While I'm obviously an amateur, especially in comparison to those two masters, the description catches the "feel" of the music - and boosts my ego.)

“Kid music on acid.”

- Another friend's feedback.

credits

released July 13, 2021

Ryan - Synth/keyboard (Seiko DS-250, Casio CZ-101, Yamaha PSR-510) & drum machine (Alesis HR-16)

Daughter #1 - Spontaneous vocals on “Don’t Be Afraid”

Daughter #2 - Parroting birdsong on “Hello, Day”

Birds - Non-parroted birdsong

múm - I used to love the Icelandic band múm (still do) and realized recently that I unintentionally copied a melody from their song "K/Half Noise" on my song "Park Bench." It was honestly accidental, apparently lodged in my subconscious after many hours of listening to them in high school and college. (Another more random connection to múm: One of my songs is titled "Don't Be Afraid" after a line from my daughter's impromptu vocals. múm has a song titled "Don't Be Afraid, You Have Just Got Your Eyes Closed.")
