Star Gardener is a collection of fables, a string of memories, my attempt at telling short stories through song that all revolve around one place. This dense wood, it's witnessed many things, many lives and deeds, and if you listen maybe it'll tell you some of what it has seen.
I made these songs at different times, in different places, in differing mental states, but with all of them I had one unifying goal in mind: to tell you, gentle listener, a tale without words. If you do give it a gander, I appreciate every second you spend listening, truly. Whether you like it or not, it means an awful lot, so thank you for stopping by, for staying a while if you might, and for being such good company for what time we did spend together!
Each song has an accompanying piece of art/short story detailing my own interpretation of what I've made, but I encourage you to make up your own stories! Hell, I'd even love to hear them if you feel inclined to share. Either way, have a great day, always mean what you say, and keep the devil at bay. That doesn't mean anything it just rhymed •ᴗ•
