Thank you for adding me. I loved the electronic sounds in the beginning of Rise. Your drums are so confident and well composed. The beat is just perfect. Liked those vocals a lot. Responder sounded kind of emotional at the beginning. Your vocals are incredible. I like those lyrics. Keep up the awesome work and keep in touch, J
thanks for the kind words, you're the first person to let me know you've seen my work in a shop downtown:) if at any time you'd like me to photograph you, it would be a pleasure, as your music, your words, reach deep within.
Got my copy of Drowner through today, am absolutely loving it. Will definetly be spinning some of this next time I DJ, love the violins on the Alternate version of Rise
