about

Now that CDs are obsolete, I find myself making a new one...

This is the most eclectic albums I've ever recorded. The sounds of these songs range from a grand piano to synth - from a high-strung baritone guitar to an electric - from a vacuum cleaner to a telephone and indeed, even a baby's cries. Most of these songs were written or used for the score of Potential Embrace, a dance-piece by Rogelio Lopez.

Music is many things for me: communication, oxygen, love, healing, a challenge to keep from hiding and much more, but these songs were written from the perspective of embracing something...from the beauty of life to processing losses, as well as things in-between, These sounds are partly how I try to understand my life, for the brief time that I'm here.

Thanks for listening and if you're so inspired, please let me know what you think. David Franklin, Oakland, CA, March, 2017.

Thanks to Warren Kahn for mastering, Randal Davis for promotion, David Egert and Bob Timney for support and encouragement. Thanks to the Newt Riders for teaching me the value of being in a traveling band and to Porcupine Petting Zoo for all the fun music.
