In Flux (for piano + drum) and its accompanying candle will be available for preorder on bandcamp Friday, March 20.
.
I’m taking this extra time to tweak the recording until I’m completely pleased. In the meantime, the opening track is available to stream.
.
This new candle is saffron ginger, with a hint of cardamon, star anise, and earth. I made them myself today and my kitchen smells fresh!
.
If you’d like candle delivery in Chicago, dm me and save on shipping costs. I’ll deliver to you once it’s safe.
