The intersection of Fenton Street and Ellsworth Drive is located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, my hometown (right outside of Washington, D.C.). Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I remember the downtown area as being real sleepy, with a few shops here and there, a bus station, and quite a few boarded-up store fronts.

This is not the case today! Downtown Silver Spring experienced crazy growth and development in the early 2000s. In addition to countless new high-rise apartments, a skate park, and a bunch of great restaurants, downtown now hosts major music venues like The Filmore and cultural spots like the American Film Institute Theater.

"Fenton & Ellsworth" is a batch of beats that I started putting together in my head while moonlighting as a food delivery driver in the Silver Spring area. There are a bunch of food spots around that intersection, so I'm always down there. The album cover is actually a photo I took right before running across that intersection to pick up an order!

Nova is my first solo album since 2019. It combines my experiences from the last years and takes you on a journey through my psybient and ambient cosmos.

Morphogenesis features rich, sustained synths and electric guitars with additional layers of guitar and piano motifs that play off one another with grace and care. In this album, composer Michael J. Goldberg, invokes a mysterious and dark sense of atmosphere, while simultaneously offering a sense of hope, longing, and peace. Saturated with reverb, sustains, swells, and riffs, Morphogenesis has a bittersweet, haunting, and lovelorn feel. Furthermore, minimalist yet layered style of this album exemplifies the unique style and sounds of Musical Mandalas.

This Album is a playful reflection on relationships and what we want from them. The songs were all inspired by characters in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (though you don't have to have read the book to enjoy the record). The album skips through genres from ragtime to electronic to simple piano with lyrics that reference Austen's clever writing.
