Recollection by Ryan Koble

A collection of six tracks recorded between 2014-15 selected from many late-night, improvised tracks recorded during my first two years of high school. Quiet nights alone with my thoughts, playing guitar religiously - this was what kept my thoughts and emotions settled during this phase of my life.

The sound of chirping frogs backs all of the tracks as this was often what I would hear as I played late at night with my window open - letting in the crisp, country air of warm summers and rainy winters.

The sounds are deeply nostalgic for me, reminding me of this emotionally deep phase of my life and the comfort I found in being alone with my thoughts and expressing them through my music.
