Tell us something about your track Columbia!
Columbia is the first song I wrote for the album. I wanted to encompass a space, a nostalgic place, and write the soundtrack to those memories. I had been writing a lot of alternative/pop music and wanted to get away from that structure of songwriting. I was living in Hollywood and needed to cleanse my musical palette so I just sat in my room at the piano, hit record, & started playing. There’s something special in letting the subconscious take over and to just play what you’re feeling. I used my iPhone to capture some natural ambience in my small apartment room. My friend loaned me a guitar and an effects pedal called “Organizer” that I used to help shape my sound which turned into this first track “Columbia.
