This album was written and recorded from 3/12-8/12. It is my first 
foray into completing a project entirely by myself. I'm incredibly 
excited with both the result of this recording and for what I will do 
moving forward, now that I've further developed skills in seeing a 
vision through from inception to completion. 

The title, "The Responsible Artist," embodies the concept of 
balancing the need for creative output with real world obligations. 
One can move too far in either direction: by losing touch with the 
needs of reality, or conversely, by sacrificing the internal desire to 
create in order to function within cultural expectations. Ideally, 
"The Responsible Artist" is someone who manages to find to that 
perfect balance between these seemingly opposing commitments, by 
obtaining a singular fulfilling experience. It is something I strive 
for on a daily basis, but have not yet mastered.
