Cultural critic, farmer, and novelist, Wendell Berry in his book A Native Hill muses, “In order to know the hill, it is necessary to slow the mind down to the hill’s pace.” This principle applied to me at the time as I was adapting to a new speed of life and striving to be present as a father. I imagined myself and my guitar as part of the chorus of natural sounds.įatherhood, I was finding, forces one to abandon parts of the self-a heavy proposition in a society that emphasizes individualism. I found that the rustling of squirrels in the leaves, and the hooting of barred owls, among other sights and sounds, would bring me a sense of peace and belonging. The music came to me on my back deck, where I would go to find solitude while my son, Simon was sleeping. It’s an ode to fatherhood and the restorative power of the natural world. Slither, Soar & Disappear is an instrumental, fingerstyle guitar record. On it, small ensembles of double bass, flute, strings, mandolin, banjo, and drums adorn his nylon and steel string guitar work. Slither, Soar & Disappear is an intimate and immersive song cycle inspired by the natural world, fatherhood, and the joy of solitude.
