[will reflect here when the year is over...]
the theme song to this website! my latest sonic experiment and probably the longest piece i've put together in a long time, if ever.
egostitical and self-indulgent
around this time, i started experimenting with some more abrasive sounds to try and escape the "polish" or cleaner sound of a lot of my songs that came before, which had started to grow boring. plus it's just fun to make noise sometimes.
this piece came out of a challenge I set for myself to produce a mini-album over the course of a long weekend while my partner was out of town. as usual, i underestimated how long it would take me to build out songs, and this was the only one completed. that being said, i'm really happy with how it turned out. the song is meant to be the intro to the album, inspired by my time working in a corporate office as a temp.
i got a bass! around this time i was just having fun with recording instruments and drum programming. after growing disillusioned with 'haiku', i didn't really feel like i had a voice for a while, so i found shelter in instrumentals. oh and the title comes from me picturing this as the backing track to a group of heisters up to no good.
i wrote this song about a month after being laid off from my job. i had thrown myself into music at the time to try and deal with everything I was feeling at the time. around the same time, a pre-planned trip to utah left me without any instruments, so i wrote haikus instead. this song is one that i wrote shortly after we returned. at this point i find it kind of hollow (dare i say cringe), but it was therapeutic at the time
this is my first proper song from 2025. there's not much depth to it, i was just looking to fill a void i couldn't even begin to define after coming out to my partner and losing my career. i think this is the first time i started obnoxiously using drum break samples, so thanks for altering the percussion in my songs for months i guess.
2024 was the year I really began making my own music. Practically everything before was mashups and covers, or has been lost to the sands of time. I don't feel like anything produced during this year besides my finale represents who i see myself as now, so they have been kept private.
my final piece of 2024. at the time, i was in a bit of a weird space. i'd finished school, met somebody, and had been working at a job in my field of study for a handful of years. so, why did i feel so miserable? looking back, it's impossible to ignore the years of repression spilling over and the effect it had on my personal relationships.
i released a shitty cover album. you won't find it.
