about

Fear of Mind is a 21-minute improvised performance on alto saxophone and drums, run through effects and recorded separately from each other, then combined and split into 6 individual pieces.

I didn't plan on releasing this music during recording but it took shape into something that I kept coming back to. Ultimately, I decided that it deserved to be heard (read: tolerated) by others. This is the first music I've released that does not feature any guitars. This is also the first music I've released featuring my first instrument, the saxophone. I hope that it offers those who listen a brief escape from what may be troubling them, as it did for me during recording and mixing.

100% of Bandcamp sales of this album will be donated equally between two organizations doing extremely important work: SAFE Project and SIMS Foundation.
SAFE Project is a non-profit organization working to overcome the addiction epidemic and prevent fatal drug overdoses through education, awareness, and destigmatization of substance use disorders.
SIMS Foundation is a non-profit organization providing mental health and substance use recovery services and supports for musicians, music industry professionals, and their dependent family members.
