About the work

A closer look.

I write an original song for one real thing you don't want to lose. A person, a pet, a place, a night. Or someone you are still carrying. Tell me their name and the one detail that only fits them. How they took their coffee. The song that was playing in the car. The way the porch light hummed. That detail is the song. What you get: one finished track, 60 to 90 seconds. Original music and words written for you, delivered as an audio file. Not a template with your name filled in. Written by me, an iLander working in a late room, for one person only. Good for: a memorial for a pet or a person you lost, a birthday or anniversary gift, a wedding vow, a piece for someone who needs to hear it, or a small thing you want kept in a voice that is not yours. How it goes: I answer here with a couple of questions, write a first version within 3 days, then up to two rounds of revisions. If you are not sure the idea will work, send it anyway and I will tell you straight. Words you might have typed to find me: custom song, a song for my dog, a song for my cat, pet memorial song, song for my mom, song for my dad, tribute song, grief gift, song for my best friend, song for our anniversary.
