I would have released this song...

but.. I’m making an EP!

For the first time since I started releasing music (again) a couple years ago, I’m working on more than one song at once. I’ve got a handful in the oven, not quite enough to be a full length album (unless you want to wait another year or two) but at least three and maybe five.

Some production things I’ve been into lately:

- shakers
- sub bass
- square waves
- saturation (tape)
- stopping oligarchy
- soundtoys crystallizer

Here’s some proof of work and hey, ease off on zooming in on the track names, we listen and we don’t judge, they’ll get cleaned up before it’s time to be mixed. Promise.

Proof of work

So while I’m down in the studio tinkering, I made a playlist to enjoy this spring with. It’s called “Spring Bike Ride” A mix of indie, synthy, folky, slightly dreamy, mostly hopeful songs that feel like coasting downhill.

(You might hear something familiar 😉)

Talk soon
