Vangelis and the Journey to Ithaka (2013)
A documentary on Vangelis (composer for Chariots of Fire and Bladerunner). What a great man. I’ve found myself deeply moved and inspired by him. Free to watch on YouTube:
INSCAPE by Alexandra Stréliski
I referenced her influence on my writing of the song, Growing Up. Here’s one of my favorite albums of hers. (Her newest album, Néo-Romance, is also excellent.) I think you’ll immediately notice her influence on my writing.
Vestiges & Claws by Jóse González
Alt-folk, singer/songwriter album from 2015. I loved this album when it came out and have been listening to it quite a bit again recently.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
A true novel written in 1965. The first of its kind, I believe. It’s the story of the mass murder in 1959 of the Clutter family. The film Capote was one of my favorites last year, which is why I decided to read the book.
