released August 19, 2023

Technically part two of Shoshin Radio, these two compositions are a bit more drawn out and less eventful, but no less emotive for me.

Verito Mia is dedicated to my amazing girlfriend Veronica, without whom I would not have challenged the pattern of thinking that was causing my creative block, and this little project would likely have never been a thing.

006 is inspired by a little chunk of a song I started writing a few years ago but never finished. I think it breathes much better in this presentation.

The artwork is a photo of my Grandpa, Olen Westerman, taken sometime during World War II when he was in (I believe) France. I owe credit to him for the name of this project. When I was a little kid, we'd be out walking around the yard and he'd say "Watch out for that stob, Alan!" and sure enough there would be a piece of something sticking out of the ground that would have tripped me up had he not pointed it out.

Amateur, old, and making sounds I like strictly for the enjoyment of doing so. If you stop by and enjoy what you find, I thank you.
