  • Limited Edition "Frondescence" CD Bundle (2015)
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Rather than releasing as many hard copies of my new album as possible and throwing them at unsuspecting passerby, I wanted to address the entire situation as an artistic release. There are only 100 hard copies being released, and the first 52 are spoken for. Here's why:

    Each album is cased in a 100% recycled post-consumer eco sleeve. Plants are important, and I wanted to do everything I can to help preserve them and the planet that houses them. From there, each case is individually hand stamped (by me) with my custom made f-ether logo ink stamp. From there I hand-numbered each case as it was pressed (i.e.; x/100 depending on the order in which it was made). I then hand wrote my name, the album name, and all of the track names on the case to add a personal, handmade touch to each album. Each cd comes autographed and numbered on both the case and album artwork inside. The bundle also includes a sticker, a wildflower seed packet, and a digital download code for you to gift to a friend to download/stream my album through the bandcamp site.

    I can not stress enough that each album was assembled, written on, and designed by me personally. Seriously, I put a lot of work into these little babies to make them everything I had envisioned. From the design of the logo itself to pouring a bunch of seeds into a baggie so that you can plant them in the spring, I created, deigned, and assembled these 100 cds. With that being said, every cd bundle is unique; some have accidental scribbles, some have an unnecessary stamp, and some have extra little notes from me. Seriously, as the numbers count up you can see where my marker began to run out of ink and wear down (until about #74, where I decided it was time to change the marker). That's how awesome this is. Each cd and bundle is an individual art piece, and once all 100 versions are sold they will no longer be available.

    This is about as DIY as it gets, and I absolutely loved every minute of working on them. I think the amount of love I poured into each bundle rivals the amount of love I put into each song on the "Frondescence" album.

    I wanted to share something personal and unique with you, and this is absolutely that.

    Enjoy.

about

Pando
Populus Tremuloides

“In this song I explored the abstract concept of synesthetically portraying a visual perception of a real-world occurrence through the precise design of sound and the construction of melody. As the foundation of this idea, I created something that musically portrayed the way that a large grove of Quaking Aspen appears and feels to the observer. I began through an ariose embodiment of a breeze rolling down and shaking the leaves of aspen trees as it swells through the colony. I proceeded by then using a meticulous crescendo to express the euphoric swell that comes with the realization that Pando is not only a group of trees, but an entire living entity. I created this piece as much as an artistic representation of an abstract idea as I created it as a commentary on existence; everything we know (and I don’t mean just humans, but everything) is made up of a sense of singularity, but when viewed in a new light is easily reinterpreted to be something very intricately connected.”
