Several demos from Absence! "with the outstanding tonality flowing through his guitar...comparable to the greats" - Indie Artists Alliance

"peer into the creative soul of a quintessential artist." - Skope Magazine

I started with 20 song ideas, recorded 14 demos, and will probably settle on 10-12 final songs for Absence:)

3 of the demos of songs that will be on the CD have been posted to listen to, and are listed below!

I hope you enjoy them, and I enjoy making CDs that I like, but I also enjoy making CDs that you want, so if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please email them to me at sdmprecords@gmail.com

Thank you for listening, and I hope you have a great holiday season:)
