The Complete Dailies Project (2013)

At the end of 2012, I was in a slump. The band I was in, Cuttlefish was done in 2009, and the songs I had been writing outside of that project were collected in Anathema (2012) and I didn't know what to do now that I was a solo act again.

My friend Colin Dunne, who was in the same boat (he was the lead singer of Cuttlefish and had recently moved to Canada), decided to do a sketch and maybe a song a day for the entire year. I joined him in this amazing exercise that transformed me as a composer forever.

365 songs later, I'd say that about 8% are good, 82% are okay, and 10% are pretty awful.

I learned a lot about recording, improved at the guitar and bass and developed a deep love of ambient instrumental music.
