Super excited and quite honestly pretty damn surreal to write here that my latest release Orchestrations is up on this yearโs Grammyยฎ ballot for the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album category. The record took almost a third of my life to piece together, and seeing it up there for consideration feels HUGE. I couldn't find another word to articulate my feels. HUGE it will have to be. With caps. HUGE. Thrice even. But for real ๐ซ
If you're a voter and the music resonates, Iโd be super grateful for your consideration here ๐ I climbed a few mountains bringing this work into the world. It didn't always look pretty. But it's here now. Super grateful for the endearing spirit and for those around me cheering me on. For 12 years ๐
Mostly, Iโm just in awe of everyone who was around for the ride in the seemingly endless creation of this body of work. Rollercoaster much? Suckers for pain it would seem. Myself included. Sigh! Onward.
Deeply humbled by this ๐
P.S. Thanks to Ker Stanley for the pic here. That's my dog Maxine. I think she is a nice person and I like her more than most things.
