about

Between about 2002 and 2011 I spent my 20’s in a city I love very much... Tacoma, Washington. During most of that time I lived in an old Victorian 4-plex called the Wright Place (I believe built in 1911). I filled the apartment up with old keyboards, drum machines and other noise makers, Goodwill records, artwork from friends, christmas lights and tinsel, and miscellaneous knick knacks from my Sunday trips to St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. The apartment became an extension of my brain and played an important role in the music (if you can call it that) I made during that period.

These recordings range from fully realized songs to half baked synth ditties, all of which (aside from “i saw birds”) were recorded on Tascam 4-track recorder. A few of them went on to become Nightgowns songs. You’ll hear me mumbling on some tracks. I always write lyrics last and record nonsense verses to get ideas for vocal melodies.

This collection of ditties is dedicated to my dear friend Richard Turner, who was the landlord of that apartment, and who allowed me to live there for many years for next to nothing while I lived out my Tacoma adventures. He lived his life through art, and always supported mine. Love and miss you Richard!
