Random Misfires

This was my first release under my own name. I had been writing and refining a series of solo drum pieces over the years, and I narrowed it down to about 20 that I decided to record. The cover art is a photo of my grandfather.

My goal for each of them was to be interesting and melodic enough to stand on their own. But as I got deeper into the project, I started hearing bass lines and melodies on them. At this point, I was in a long period of recovery and therapy resulting from several strokes that I had suffered back in 2015.

I dove head first into turning these drum grooves into full songs, writing on the keyboard. I enlisted Pete Weiss to engineer, mix, and master the album in addition to playing guitar on a few. And Dana Colley worked his magic adding some beautiful woodwind parts.
