< While you're listening to these tracks, click this thumbnail for some illustrations I created as visuals for the track "Broadcast". They aren't necessarily in order, but for me they evoke the melancholy and solitude we all know as part of the urban experience. So play "Broadcast" and check out the images.

These instrumentals express the most basic yearning. To reach out and touch someone, to express oneself, to be heard.

I wrote these tracks over a six-month period in 2008, during a period of "hibernation," where life centered around a day job and my toddler son. It also coincided with the heartache and angst from struggling as a filmmaker. I recorded and mixed these songs in the early morning and late night while my wife and son were asleep. Those moments were like small, private retreats, a kind of consolation for years of chasing dreams. You might call this EP the soundtrack that captures the mood at that time in my life.

The title of this EP comes from a book by Francisque Sarcey, a 19th century Frenchman who made his living lecturing.

In his book, Recollections of Middle Life (1893), Sarcey describes an awkward lecture he once gave early in his career. Only five people attended. He knew four of them, and always wondered who that fifth person was -- the one who braved the cold to listen to him.
