Greetings.
I’ve been sitting on these tracks for months on end and I’ve finally gotten the will to attempt to mix, master, and release them. The only problem I’m having at the moment is naming these tracks but I’m working through them(as I write and update this post).
This is not a beat based album/EP. It’s on the more ambient side. As most of you know by now, my music isn’t made for the mainstream. I’m also not pretending to be avant garde or pretend that I fully understand what that means in todays musical landscape.
Most of these tracks were made or mixed at a time where I was defeated and just plain down on myself. I spent far too much time navel-gazing whenever things felt like they were going wrong. Feelings of worthlessness and most of my external world reflected that.
However, even in the midst of my bouts of melancholy I was lucky.
I am grateful for the support I’ve had from my man to just continue to make what I love and want to make without thinking about the rejection I could receive because it’s not catchy/conventionally catchy or hi-fi. I know it’s sappy but he’s helped me with so much.
I’ve found my oasis
So I decided on about 5 songs for this EP/Album by categorizing a bunch of unfinished (unmixed/ unarranged) tracks. That’s the easy part. I sometimes go by theme and other times I go by just the soundscape to compile an EP/Album. In this case, I went on their ambient-esque qualities.
I will talk about maybe one or two of the tracks in another post.
Until then,
Cheers
