coL began recording guitar layered anti-songs at the age of 16. Made up of improvised 
one track sessions, these tracks would later lead to the more ambient work of his Of Life 
Collection (1997-1999). In 2001, after moving from Los Angeles to NYC to Philadelphia, 
and then back to Los Angeles, he began to work on the "coL" album series. 

Between 2001 and 2008, 47 records were recorded and performed by coL. Some albums 
feature guests such as Ariel Pink, Aaron Embry, and Karoline Hausted. Many if not all of 
the 47 records were done in a quick improvised manner, which lends to some sounds 
being askew. This is only meant to reveal the expression as being true. 

The goal was to get the composition recorded, it was nice if it came out sounding nice, 
but the intent was to get it out of the body, and on to a canvas.

In own words:

"What I really create is Ambient Pop Music." -coL
