Album 4
The story
Resting Place took four years. Almost none of that was writing the album — it was building SongCreator into the tool I actually needed. Scale logic, interval theory, playability rules, note-length phrasing, three arrangements that interact. Resting Place was the first album where the tooling was finally good enough to produce something I was proud of. It was the proof.
And then the throughput showed up. Resting Place came out March 7, 2026. Seven days later, on March 14, the first song of God's Flesh was already written, recorded, mixed, and in the can. Fifteen songs complete inside a month — not because I'm working twice as hard, but because four years of tool-building compounds. Five more followed that summer, and by mid-July the twentieth — Warm Hand on My Shoulder — closed out the planned twenty.
God's Flesh is the first album where SongCreator writes across multiple tunings — E Standard, Open G, E Flat, and Open E. Of the 20 songs, only one is in E Standard. Seven are in Open G, and ten — the largest share — are in E Flat. The tuning that defined every note of Resting Place is now the rarest on the record.
You can hear the difference without knowing what a tuning is. Open G tunes the guitar to a chord, so the strings ring into each other and the whole song sits on a droning low end. Open E does that brighter and wider, and E Flat simply drops everything a half step — slacker, darker, a little more room to breathe.
Twenty tracks. Four tunings. One person, one guitar, one piece of software that writes the music and another that records every note — and four years of building the thing that makes this pace possible.
