The Trees for the Forest
 
 
 

The world is like a wave that washes on the shore
The world is an earthquake that rocks me to the core
Let out a laugh, match the splendid roar

Hi. My name is toon and I'm a singer ⁄ songwriter living in Nevada City, CA. I am also a nerd. If you don't believe it, consider this: I wrote all the code for this website from scratch.   I also decided to give my music away and ask for voluntary donations. I mean it's one thing if a huge band like Radiohead does that, but it's quite different if just another lonely indie artist like me tries to do the same thing.

So. Bookmark this page and you can always come back to listen online. And if you enter your name and your e-mail address above and click the button you will receive a link to a free download which includes all tracks plus a cd cover image and lyrics. If you enjoy listening to my music, also bookmark the page and come back and give me some money (click on the album cover where it says 'Donate') — just as much or as little as you can afford. Or you could share this page with all your friends and family members. If you don't like it, you could still forward it to just one person you think might like it instead.  Bookmark and Share

I also want to thank some people: Rick Constantino who provided the drumloop for Let Me Hide in Your Cupboard and my raga teacher, Terry Riley (see the links in the sidebar). And I want to thank my wife Alicia for the use of her poetry on The Trees for the Forest. All the other noises are made by me.

Anyway, where was I? O, donations. So if you click here or on the button, that will take you to a new page where you may choose the amount of your donation. You may even give me your address, since when you donate over $15 I will try to send you an actual, physical cd. That page will then take you to PayPal, where they will process your payment. When I receive that payment I will of course be eternally grateful and, moreover, better able to make more recordings.

So thanks, and enjoy the music!
