Death by Coroplast Sinatra

There are seven stages in grieving, there are seven tracks on this production. Not so much of an extended play, long play, or album, this is the way in which I have chosen to process the loss of a friend; an experience.

A little while ago, I found a wealth of cassettes, on which were talks about Jainism, spirituality, meditation, and the experience of reality. They were recorded between the mid seventies and early eighties, mostly in Pittsburgh, PA at the Yoga and Meditation Center (now defunct.) As a result of this great gift, and as my process for creating sound and music grows and changes, I have been able to navigate my own grieving process, and I have chosen to actualize it in this way.

Self-produced in my Pittsburgh apartment in October and November 2019, death represents a culmination of my current explorations in sound creation and media manipulation.
