Still searching

70 songs we haven't found yet.

She finished hundreds of tracks. These ones we only know because she mentioned them, posted them to a forum, or her friends remembered them. The audio hasn't surfaced yet. For 2 of them we have the lyrics she wrote. Click through to read her words.

If you recognize anything on this page (a CD you burned years ago, a hard drive in a closet, an email attachment), please get in touch. The archive grew by twenty-five tracks in a single afternoon when one person dug through an old backup.

If any of these names sound familiar, please reach out.

Even a scrap (a filename from a twenty-year-old backup, a memory of a melody, a note in an old email) can help confirm what existed. The most recent additions to this archive arrived because someone thought "I wonder if I still have that…" and checked.
