blue jay

I started writing and recording ambient music long before I knew what it was and long before I received any musical training. I thought of the pieces as soundtracks, the backdrop upon which a scene unfolds, an emotional resonance not weighed down by concept or structure. This musical form has always felt intuitive, free from constraint, and, in some way, spiritual to me. I call this project blue jay because that's the name that always appears when I wonder what to call this abstract endeavor, because sound always seems to have a color, because jay is a name that runs through my family, and because I hope to reincarnate as a bird.
