“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

Key

2025 EP

Back is a forthcoming Key EP, which consists of four songs. As the companion piece to Slash, the Back EP features songs in a slightly lighter vein.

The oldest song composition here is Breath; it was conceived before I was able to record music (early 90s), and first attempted as a song around the time I started writing as Perpetual Emotion Machine (2005), and the lyrics were written around that time. It’s mean to be a song of comfort and consolation to one’s self after a loss.

Oblivious dates back to about 2012; I wrote this about a former partner who casually ended a relationship thinking it would not bother me. It’s a dance-house track which sounds like 1988 a little bit.

Do Over is my attempt to write a song in the style of Tears For Fears and Secrets is my attempt to write a James Bond-style theme.

The SlashBack double-EP set will be released in Spring 2025.
