For anyone who has ever lost a friend to depression and suicide - you might identify with the lyrics. The Rain Outside (Vlad & Me - 2013) The rain outside it falls on my window and slides to join its' friends below I saw your face…

This is one of my favourite songs - by Jon Brion. (This is only a cover.) I just really appreciate the lyrics: You've gotta hope That there's someone for you Strange as you are Who can cope With the things that you do Without trying…

I've seen the band Alpine a couple times live - super fun! This is my favourite song of theirs, obviously a little bit different on viola.

This was my 2nd song for the ukulele. I wrote it in a time where I wasn't quite happy (as you might hear from the tone of the song), and was struggling a little bit with some things that I felt I couldn't quite express. So here it all is, in metaphorical…

This was my first piece for the ukulele. I wrote it for a German friend who I first met in Perth; she would tell me all about the snow at home at Christmas-time, and it sounded lovely. This is the sound that came out after I spent an afternoon…

Best Coast - I love these guys. And particularly this song. I included a bit of cello in this one. (This is a cover, I do not claim to have written this song myself)

This is a cover - I do not claim to have written this. Having said that - this also is one of my favourites; so haunting and pretty. Good on Gary Jules. And a great addition to the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Enjoy.

This was my first ever experiment with Garage-band on my mac. Layer after layer of voice and viola. It's kind of about how one tries to move forward after the death of a loved one. There's some indefinable point when, instead of crying every time…

Sometimes, don't you just feel so grateful to be alive? I wrote this song in just such a mood. Beautiful Place (Vlad & Me - 2012) The world is a beautiful place The world is a beautiful place The world is a beautiful place The world is a…

I love this piece - by Satie. I hope the classical buffs out there don't think I've butchered it too badly :)

I think the lyrics are pretty self explanatory :) Just a Dream (Vlad & Me - 2012) I had a dream the other night It freaked the hell Outta me Though not for all the usual fears I was just afraid of you For you're my friend that's what you…

Cover - I do not claim to have written this song. Another of my favourites; Somewhere over the rainbow. Enjoy :)

Viola and piano. I wrote this piece in two sittings. In the first I was in a strange, almost bad mood. When I returned to it about a week later, it was time for a key change. You'll hear. Have a listen. Hope you like it :)
