I wrote most of the songs for Open Story around the time our first son Zale was born (2014). My wife and I had been working on our Ananias project, the “Point B” album for a few years, but I was adapting to a lot of time alone with baby, with still a surge of creative energy. I used many nap-times when Zale was an infant to write about half of these songs; the other half coming months or years later.
By Nov. 2018, I realized I was running out of runway with this album; that’d I’d either have to publish it, or forget it. I took a couple of months to clean up all the songs and released it on December 31, 2018.
