There is a connection between the strength of the voice and the details of the guitar that creates an ideal atmosphere for the words of poetry. Although the sound is stripped and minimalist, it manages to communicate with a lot of nuances. The result is a song as intense as it is emotional.

My song, “Words Fail,” from my new album, Three, was featured in Visual Atelier 8, along with the lyric video I made for the song, and a short interview.

Mass for the Endangered
by Sarah Kirkland Snider

I wrote original text for 4 of the 6 movements of Sarah Kirkland Snider’s beautiful new album, Mass for the Endangered. I also created the cover image—a triptych of endangered animals and environments in peril. Learn more about the album—including the great reviews/coverage; the UK vocal ensemble, Gallicantus, who performed the piece; and the series of stunning videos created for each movement by Candystationsat Sarah’s site.
