LE

clarinet+electronic

I’ve always loved electronic and pop music. The catalyst for my life as a composer was creating silly EDM on my first keyboard. LE is the manifestation of that in its fullest.

emigrate is an album about looking back, seeing the distance between ourselves moving toward somewhere or someone else; emigrating to foreign shores. this nostalgia is like turning into a pillar of salt: struck in place and eroding. each track is a vignette from between 2011 and 2021 with parts of melodies, or musical characters, woven throughout the album.

latest release feed / ghosted EP

feed and ghosted take place at different eras in the 10-year album story timeline. one is at the advent of a near on and off addiction to digital affirmation after a first heartbreak, the other a lesson in "if they want to, they will".

debut single met you/ emigrate

“i often feel a distance between myself and others, the extremes of my wants. the gap seems too far to cross, emigrating to foreign shores.

met you / emigrate are the last two tracks from my upcoming album. vignettes from relational life and attempts to connect.”
