about

Hi everyone. Eric here.

I am so thankful for everyone who helped me out with this album. I truly could not have done it with out all of my friends, family, teachers, and other friendly advisors. It was an ambitious project and I am proud of it. Though it may not be perfect, I am very happy to release it. These albums have never been about perfection. We recorded a majority of this album with live musicians in a 5 hour margin of time. I'm super proud of everyone involved in making this happen. Making this album was about getting a bunch of people together and having fun creating some music.

This year I am donating all proceeds to Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA). I am passionate about music education and I think that this program gives an amazing, cost free opportunity to students who wouldn't normally be able to pick up an instrument. I urge you to donate! This is posted as "name your price" - so donate as much as you'd like!
