Today I released the YouTube Visualizer Video edition of JIB and it is a moving tribute to my late friend and musical colleague and inspiration Caleb "Jib" Shaner. -> VIDEO LINK HERE! <-
The video version of this single came a week after the Spotify/Bandcamp release of the song, but the wait was worth it. The visualizer is not only a beautiful animated edition of the single artwork, but captures the intense emotions that I've felt grieving lost loved ones like Jib, and my late father Mike. The music, when written in 2018, was intended to be in a style like Metallica's classic instrumentals "To Live Is To Die" and "Orion" but with an Opeth flavor to the dynamics. It is my hope that as you watch and listen, that it brings you peace and help with your own grief you may have for lost loves.
