When words alone don’t cut it
I cry through my fingertips. The uncontrollable buzz building in my chest, pouring out through my feet. My arms. My neck.
Everything has a rhythm and a pitch- the fridge door squeaking open, revealing nothing but barbeque sauce and carrots. This is a sad song.
Colors make sound. Leaves swirling around an empty parking lot. Black cats dying in the alleyways.
Music is an interactive journal, preserving more than just space and time, but the untainted memory of life itself.
Felix Wood:
Montana PROJECT 2021
This album was written during the transition phase of entering my first semester of college. During this time I felt lost and isolated, confused and conflicted.
The goal was to communicate these feelings, highlighting the imperfections and learning process, a metephor of the times
My favorite track on this album is Valley, written and produced with my two younger sisters and mom. This song was written as a message to another family member who we no longer see. A soft signal out into the universe hoping to be received, telling them that it’s okay to come back.

Sundance: Felix Wood
Sundance was my introduction to music creation. This project will always hold a special place in my heart. I spent every day of summer 2020 collecting inspiration and channeling it into night-time recording sessions.

What’s the problem? Where’s my head at? When is the sun going to shine?”
