about

Sacred Stories is my fourth album, recorded in one afternoon on June 2021 at Church of the Assumption in Bellingham, WA. This album includes 9 tracks, mostly traditional hymns, including three original tunes, featuring Irish fiddle and Norwegian hardanger fiddle by Brandon Vance, and cello by William Braun. My goal for this recording was to capture the natural reverb sound of the church hall — which means since we didn’t have sound isolation booths as you would typically have in a recording studio, I had to tolerate a few sounds bleeding through — the sound of an occasional truck, creaks in the doors, and even the church bells! No overdubbing or after effects, and no track splicing to patch mistakes -- just the raw recording, warts and all!

The inspiration for the title comes from an Ignatian study group at our church called “Sacred Story Community” sponsored by “The Sacred Story Insitute. The basic theme refers to the idea of God continually writing our story. We are all works in progress - many of us even deeply wounded — but our truest identity is in becoming the person he is making us to be. Who better to write our story than the author of the universe, who expresses his language in the mathematical elegance of nature, in sacrificial love, and in beauty itself? Each of the tracks on this album tell their own story, and are all connected to my own journey in some way.
