Inherent

INHERENT WAS INSPIRED, WRITTEN AND RECORDED AT VARIOUS TIMES AND LOCATIONS BEGINNING IN SPRING 2009 AND ENDING IN SPRING OF 2017.

THE MAKING OF THIS RECORD HAS BEEN A CRAZY EXPERIMENT AND THE ROAD GETTING TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN A SERIES OF TRIALS UPON TRIALS UPON MORE TRIALS.

MUCH WAS LEARNED. MISTAKES WERE MADE. WISDOM WAS GAINED. AND ULTIMATELY OUT OF ALL OF THE BROKEN EGGS, (AND ARMS) I’VE COME OUT ON THE OTHER END WITH A REFINED PERSPECTIVE AND PROCESS AS WELL AS A CLEARER SENSE OF THIS VISION THAT I’VE HAD FOR SO MANY YEARS WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS.

WITH THIS RECORD, I’VE TAKEN FEW MORE STEPS TOWARDS AN AUTHENTIC, HONEST EXPRESSION AND I’M GETTING CLOSER TO WHAT I’M AFTER. THIS RECORD IS A DIRTY RAW SOMETIMES ERRATIC MANIFESTATION OF THAT EXPRESSION. IF NOTHING ELSE, I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE FEEL THE EMOTIONS LOCKED INSIDE. STAY TUNED FOR EVEN BIGGER THINGS TO COME.
