Fast Forward

A globe-trotting song cycle recorded across four world cities. Sophisticated piano pop that feels like a late-night conversation with a well-traveled friend.

Find on Amazon

It's like a high-end audio tour of four world cities led by a very smart, slightly cynical piano man.

A sophisticated, globe-trotting meditation on time and place with a late-night jazz-club heart.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the title track builds from a solitary piano motif into a sprawling, cinematic meditation on time.
The surprising, jagged energy of the Television cover 'See No Evil' reimagined through a sophisticated lens.
The haunting, cabaret-inflected theatricality of 'Good Bye Jonny' that feels like a ghost in a Berlin club.
