For several years (2007 – 2011?) my brother Andrew (who is now a much bigger / established artist D.Cure ), and I collaborated on several songs, long distance. I was living in Arizona, and he was moving all around in his Air Force career.

For most of our songs, he’d usually find a beat, and put down some raps that helped him process his life, and pass it to me to add whatever kind of singing and hook I could come up with. (I think I only did all the music for “Gaining Loss” and “Balancing”).

We probably recorded a dozen or so songs in those years. After it seemed the season had passed, I compiled some of my favorites into this 7 Song “EP” of sorts.

We did a recording for the title track of the EP, with live vocals, around the time this project was compiled:

Otherwise, I’ve been lucky enough to pitch in on a handful of his songs from his many albums over the years. I’m hoping I’ll get the chance to do something with “Crude Canvas” again, someday!
