Music Made For Getting Lost
One of my favorite things about music is its ability to take your mind away from everyday life to somewhere new. I love this feeling of being transported.
The first time I remember having this feeling was reading The Chronicles of Narnia books as a kid. The story took me to a whole new world that totally captured my imagination. So one afternoon I reread the first book “The Magician’s Nephew” to see if any potential names for this project would appear.
In the book there is a place called the Wood between the Worlds. It’s a warm sunlit forest where time stands still. There are countless pools of water there. Each pool is a different world you can travel to by jumping in, but you have to be in contact with a magic green ring for the portal to work.
My goal with every piece of music is to take you somewhere new. I want your mind to drift off from the day to day when you listen. Green Ring stood out to me as a perfect name to convey this idea.
About this website
This site exists to escape the algorithm and build an online home for Green Ring.
Escaping the Algorithm
Algorithms are amazing and necessary for discovery, but they can also stand between creators and the people who love their work. Following me on social media doesn’t guarantee you’ll see new music or posts (there’s a great talk from Patreon founder Jack Conte on this here).
On this site, there are no algorithmic middlemen — just a direct line between us. Enter the Grove, and I'll send new releases (including early access) straight to your inbox. You'll also get access to the Archive, where I share unreleased demos, fragments, and artifacts from the creative process not available anywhere else.
Building a home for Green Ring
Instead of spreading things across different platforms, this website is home for all things Green Ring. Here you can get my music, merch, samples, and presets directly from me — everything in one place, with no middlemen taking a cut. It just feels right.
However you found your way here, I'm glad you did. It's still early days for Green Ring, and I hope you decide to come along for the ride!
