Welcome back everyone, and thanks for reading. For this week’s post, I wanted to take the time to take the opportunity to reshare some of my favorite postings from this past year of Memory Machine.

Casting for Soul
Welcome back everyone. Gonna be a short one this week since I’m busy moving. Above is a new Rosary song called “Casting for Soul”, something I wrote this month in the wake of processing some grief. I’m lucky to have creative outlets to fall back to on times like these, times where I am able to understand my situation a little better with what I create.
My Favorite Songs pt. 1 (#10-6)
Hello everyone, and thanks for checking in this week. Always appreciative of the support and readership. This week I wanted to spend some time going back through my own personal archives and “ranking” some of my favorite songs I’ve released under my various monikers. I’ve had the privilege of writing and performing music since around the age of 16, and i…
Snapshot
Welcome back this week everyone, and thanks for reading. Going to start off this week’s posting with a new Rosary song I’ve been working on, tentatively titled “Snapshot”. I’m continuing to surprise myself with my creative output this year and how much I’ve been working on and releasing. Having just put out a Rosary EP (stream
