The Loop is my first album, a youthful ode to my first 16 years.

These gapless twenty-three minutes of instrumental music were created bit by bit over the course of a year – August 2015 to 2016. Besides the supremely talented musicians credited below, I performed all parts on the album, as well as its composition, arrangement, recording, and mixing.
