This is an album that took me about two years of weekend warrior-ing after I returned to my software engineering career in Portland. This project took over all of my creative energy for most of 2019 and half of 2020.

The first recording sessions of Quiet Sector have revealed a nostalgic and very mellow series of sound-worlds that feel, for the most part, vast, bright, and peaceful, with occasional moments of darkness and sombre moods.

I needed an outlet for experimental electronic-space-ambient music, so I created Quiet Sector. It felt right to keep this music separate from In The Branches, though it comes from the same creative universe.

Hear the album on your favorite streaming service in (starting in late 2020) or right now on Bandcamp:
