Lost Summer
Self-Released, 2013
This surf project came to me in a period of longing for the shores of home, in Panama City Beach, FL. Good surf isn’t a friend to the Florida Panhandle, but the ~ feel ~ persists anyway. Hella credit to the bass-playing wizard Travis Lane for joining me on yes, the very obviously named Lost Summer.
Some Kind of Inlet or Something
‘80s Bill O’Reilly. ‘80s spring breakers. What’s not to love. Culled and edited by me, breezily.
In the Sand
I was born in 1982, in the Spring Break Capitol of the World. The footage in this collage was culled from my related pop culture fever dreams. Maybe you’ll see a little bit of your childhood in here too.
Casual Vibrations
VHS exercise tapes were huge when I was growing up. They delighted and repelled and mystified me in equal doses. That fever dream is what drove this collage. Oh, and that’s little Ryan doing his best Karate Kid at the end.
End of the World
b/w Please Help Me I’m Falling
Self-Released, 2019
I toyed with wispy instrumental covers of two kindred country classics, collaging them with field sounds from New York and Big Sur and archival interviews with the artists (Skeeter Davis and Hank Locklin, respectively). The bonus track is a treated recording of a recording of MLK’s funeral.
