about

Ambient noise & drone works compiled from the past 2 years, each a moment in time that has been captured (by means of mood, field recording, or a live microphone) and distilled into music.

Writing music has sadly proven to become difficult over the past few years. I felt like I had to keep upping the bar with every song I made, but these self-set expectations ended up becoming self-destructive, and barred me from being able to express myself in an artform that I had grown to love dearly. Every new song felt like a failure, but the only person I was really failing was myself.

I made these songs over the years as exercises in reconnecting with music in a way that felt relaxed, therapeutic, and as adventurous as I was when I first started writing music. No expectations, no standards, and often written and finished in a single sitting. Just me exploring and creating sounds that were pleasing to my ears, and to my mind. I hope they might bring you something positive. :)

I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
