ALBUM 2 - NONAGON VOL. 1
Released in July of 2026, streaming everywhere
Recorded entirely in Lone Cricket’s hand built cabin, Nonagon Volume 1 is more of an aural journey than a collection of standard songs. Incorporating elements of the surrounding forest such as the crickets, cicadas, and even the rain slowly forming across the roof, revealing a sonic imprint of the shape of the cabin, the natural sounds compliment LC’s haunting, atmospheric textures, his earthy finger picked acoustic guitar work, and his rustic voice. Spanning the globe for inspiration, the solo guitar compositions draw inspiration from Americana folk / Dark Folk as well as Flamenco, Cumbia, Middle Eastern, and West African traditions. The result is music that moves between introspection and energy—balancing stillness and movement, memory and immediacy, in a deeply immersive experience.
First single from the new album - “Spills of gold, mvmt ii”
The sophomore album from Lone Cricket features 6 tracks, 3 of which span over 30 minutes of the Album, flowing from one feeling to another. Meant to be listened to as a whole, however, there are still fun moments that stand alone in which excerpts were turned into singles. From the second movement of the first track, the first single titled “Spills of Gold, Mvmt. II” features a repeating, vocal verse and instrumental Fingerstyle guitar chorus that both transports listeners back in time while somehow letting their minds wander outside the stratosphere. Punch in, then punch out in 2.5 minutes with some meandering in the middle, Lone Cricket’s shadowy voice coupled with old Travis Picking on the Martin reminds us our roots, while the hollow body electric running through some experimental Chase Bliss pedals rushes in and out your ears, sweeping the listener into a strange dream, unable to locate time in it’s cyclical nature. Listen to a moment from this single below.
The Hunter and the Hunted (single version) is part of an 11 minute piece on my upcoming album. A Nocturne for reflecting alone in the forest at night, the Hunter and the Hunted, influenced by the Palm mute one two chord progressions and rustic vocals of Tom Waits, draws from old world timbres with a haunting mandolin accompanying the Martin’s gentle rhythms. A hollow body electric filling the sound with pitch bending vibrato and an eerie verb along with the natural sounds of the crickets takes the listener straight into the woods. In one dimension the song is about the cycle of life and trying to understand its design, in another dimension it’s about navigating challenging relationships, and yet in another dimension it’s about finding love and appreciation for those who we misunderstood and realized we are all “one in the same.”
Earlier Live Works
A live performance of "For a Time Being," an evolving piece that begins with a delicate fingerpicked guitar progression. Layered with looping modular synth textures and guitar pedals, the music gradually builds into a lush ambient soundscape. The piece crescendos with a fast, rhythmic drum and bass pattern played on the Nord Drum 3p, creating a beautiful fusion of intricate fingerstyle and dynamic electronic beats
A quiet moment captured in Gubbio, Italy—this live recording of "Piano Piano," a track from my debut album, was filmed in a friend's home in this beautiful town. Written for nylon string guitar, the piece begins with a classical-inspired intro before settling into a gentle chord progression and soft, intimate vocals
Originally an extended ambient exploration, "Anisocoria" began as a live piece where I layered the signature guitar part with ambient textures while simultaneously playing both a traditional drum kit and electronic drums on the Nord Drum 3p. This evolved into the shorter, vocal-driven track featured on my album, offering a more concise but still evocative interpretation of the same core musical ideas
