Fathom first appeared on “Words” in 2022. It was the last completed song, I perhaps rushed it a bit as well as aiming higher than my comfort zone. After ongoing tweaks over many months, as I’m not a pro, this arrangement/mix better expresses the intentions, though the album version is fine, and better mastered by […]

In 2021 I created a piece titled Arcadia as background music for a video of landscape photographs-  tylerboley.com/landscape/ But I found it unsatisfactory as a stand-alone piece, or I would have put it on “Erratics”- tylerboley.com/new-album-erratics/ I wanted to ease into making some music again after a year away from it, not too complex, overthought, […]

17×22” piezography prints initially made from a 2000 trip to Italy left me feeling they could be “more”, over the years. They are nice, I showed them, sold a few, and over time interest faded in the fog of ongoing newer work. Small old world architectural etchings in an Italian deli brought them back to […]

I’ve been interested in the viability, and potential benifits of printing on uncoated fine art papers even before inkjet when I saw some early Iris photography prints, and even earlier, when I first saw a platinum print at George Eastman House long ago, eventually dipping my toe into historical processes. I’ve written about this before, […]

David Nielsen and I were in bands together long ago, with all the associated R&R experiences, for five years or so. We connected again around 2015, jammed a few times, our abilities very rusty, and started a few songs that faded off to nowhere. Finally we knuckled down and completed “Catherine” in 2018, despite novice […]
