about

This record is a time capsule of my artistic journey, capturing the essence of my creative process and the emotions that shaped my music between 2014 and 2018.

It represents a specific moment in my life when I lived in a converted 1972 greyhound bus that my stepfather had owned since the 80s. This bus was a symbol of my childhood dreams and a source of inspiration for my music.

After moving back to Grants Pass, Oregon, and staying on some friends' couches, my mother offered me the bus to live in. It was a chance for me to reclaim a sense of ownership and grounding in my life. The bus was a sanctuary for me, a place where I could reconnect with my creative passions and explore new musical possibilities.

I wrote and recorded demos that eventually became the music I released under Common Tiger. This compilation album is a tribute to those released and unreleased songs that were born out of my experiences living in that bus. It's a way for you to experience a piece of my life and the artistic process that shaped my music.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

This new philosophy began to influence my music, and I discovered that instrumental music could complement the present moment and help me relax. ... more
