INFORMATION
Sea of Self was my most personal and introspective work to date. Recorded between March 2017 and March 2018, a majority of the work was recorded during the colder months of those two years.
While the music was completed and mastered in March 2018, I wasn’t ready to share it with anyone at that time. I wanted to include a visual representation of each song, so I took my time and developed a full length video for each of the tracks that were completed in October of that year.
Honesty
A revelation of truth feeds a storm with hurricane strength gusts that slowly pushes across the sea of the self. Each emotion manifests in increasingly intense waves that crash one after the next onto a shore that had been peaceful for decades.
Guilt
Self inflicted noise distorts each thought that rises with clarity from the dark depths of the sea of the self. Each moment of progress drowns under forty-five layers of feared disappointment, while the next moment attempts to emerge to the surface.
Hope
Aspirations that once floated aimlessly on the surface now move with intention as the intensity of the storm dissipates. The swell of each wave that passes through the calming sea of the self can now be navigated with confidence.
