Just before Christmas (i.e. about three weeks ago), I finally put up my demos, bsides and outakes release, Everything. I think of as a lot of carrot with a little bit of stick. It is available now as a free download, either track-by-track or in one whole bundle.

From its whopping track count (20), you might be under the impression that I just threw everything including the kitchen sink on it. But that’s not the case. I’ve omitted almost as many songs, in an attempt to capture something with Everything, that is basically a document of my five-year journey as a songwriter, singer-songwriter, and music-making-producer-type-person. It kind of shuts the door on a part of my life, a part of my experience, and I really, really don’t know where that new slightly-ajar door leads. Some extra tracks will be made available to mailing list subscribers, which serve to paint a slightly clearer picture.

I always think of curating in terms of museums and whatnot, but it seems like a go-to word these days for covering anything which involves any kind of subjective artistic choice. So what the hell? I’m gonna run with that ball. All the tracks on Everything have been chosen with care, and with a view to conveying this journey of mine. I’ll be following up this post with (brief) periodic bites of information about each of the tracks. They won’t be in tracklisting in order.
