Excited to announce for those of you that may have missed out on the leather bound and burned first edition of my Blood of the Black Owl - WARmth 2xCD, a second edition is now in the works.
Releasing Friday August, 7th 2026, this second edition will be available in professionally replicated two disc color variants: A black on black (as before) and a matte black on matte silver, packaged in a rare, discontinued heavyweight black stock (gatefold) with black ultra gloss art courtesy of Samaritan Press. If you haven't heard it, please click a pic to explore the sounds of this deeply personal journey.
Here are two selected testimonials regarding the double album when it was released back in 2015.

"This is gorgeous. The mix is so clear, honest and alive. The pain and love which went into this creation transfers easily and in a welcoming manner. As a listener, I hear and feel the heart beating. The production is flawless, I'm trying to wrap my head around the quality of the timbre you have captured, it's really inspiring. Your craft is true and the local communities close and distant have much to gain from your work.
As a composer, your work seems to have always carried a whisper of Florian Fricke and Popol Vuh's cinematic transcendence, it is so wonderfully present on this album but there is also something else. A deeper side of your wisdom and personal energies that is coming through. It's quite refreshing and stirs many different emotions within me. There is this bridge that the songs walk, it goes between two valleys, in one meadow I am brought to tears because the struggle is often to relentless and vast for me to conquer. But on the other side, across the bridge, lies another, a valley that I am able stretch out in, to dance, and circle the ones I love. I am at peace with that dichotomy because it is what this life is often about and what many of us are working through, healing from, and or transcending beyond. In my own spiritual work, I am becoming aware there is not two separate pieces of land that are connected by way of a bridge, but that there is still a larger valley that contains the two, and there is even a larger mountain range, a thousand lakes, clouds, trees, etc. I am free to travel and commune with all of it, we can be that fearless and free. These are the thoughts that your music awakened in me."

"I am grateful to have found your music...it really restores, heals and reflects a beautiful and deep relationship to the land that I love here in the Northwest more than anything I've heard (along with various tribal music and stories). When I listen I hear the heartbeat of land, sea and sky of this so accurately...THANK YOU! It's so good to know someone else "listens and understands." Many blessings to you!
