Canons 03:04
I'm not ready to go outside I don't wanna face these mad men there's blood on their teeth waving crimson fingers at me come on come on come on let's share a little bit of sun light oh come on come on come fears in all of us some nights Canon on feet (sinking down down below, sinking on down below) Canon on feet (sinking down down below, sinking on down below) Canon on feet Living life like I won't know my children like I won't know my children's children like I won't know my children's, children's , children and I don't even feel safe enough to love Find me down by the docks no eyes have seen no fuss there goes the ghost that celebrates my legacy come on come on come on it's easier said than done. Canon on feet (sinking down down below, sinking on down below) Canon on feet (sinking down down below, sinking on down below) Canon on feet

about

Canons EP is a four song EP, and is a collaboration with Jazz bassist Rashaan Carter. Canons is minimal R&B, that finds itself dabbling in New Age esoterica. Repeating motifs, form the foundation that creates a meditative, and solemn experience. Reminiscent of Arthur Russell and Laurie Anderson. The songs feature straightforward instrumentation and arrangements that intentionally tests the listener’s patience.

Recorded in a month, while caring for my mom, this “bedroom” project is a reflection on fear, mortality, confusion about life and the times we currently live in. I wanted the songs to reflect what I needed for myself at the time, so I created sparse, slow, open arrangements and songwriting. In other words, this EP is simply a statement of sadness, fear, and maybe a little hope.
