Close the Book is an album of solo acoustic guitar music that I recorded at home. The music is mostly composed but performed in a way that is pretty off the cuff and loose. I wanted to try to capture a part of creative my process and share some music that I've had kicking around that is near and dear to me. The music expresses the journey and demise of an important relationship in my life, my experiences of the last year and a half, and my process of coping with the challenges I've faced. It also showcases my love and affection for the acoustic guitar.
