about

i spent a week at McLean hospital in Belmont, MA this august. the unit i was in was mostly for women with complex PTSD. they have a piano there and i tried to play it every day. i ended up improvising and recording more than 50 songs. technically, you're not allowed to make any sound recordings there for privacy reasons so i kept them secret until i discharged. i thought it would be nice to anthologize them, so here we are.

i'm releasing these under the name "neither" because i doubt i'll ever play most of these at a visibilities gig, but who knows.
