“I think of this project as a journal, with each disc as a chapter, and each song as a dispatch along a creative journey. Each chapter covers a specific period and the music I was exploring at the time. Like the Simian line that runs across the palm of my right hand, there are intersections and side trips as well, into previously unreleased music, remixes and live recordings. The music reflects where I was living, my influences, my development as a composer, producer and guitarist, and the many brilliant musicians and artists I’ve been blessed to work with and learn from.”
