about

This album is fairly strange. Weird juxtapositions of big romantic melody, frenzied percussion, harsh noises, jolly toy synths, mindlessly repetitive loops and strange Mellotron flutes.

But this is the music I really want to make. And to listen to. At the moment.

I'm really happy with this one. Even as I cringe over the ineptitude.

It does what I want from music, it has the kind of tunes I like, against the kind of instrumentation I like, and rhythms I like, and experimentation I like.

Without anything that I don’t like. Or which I find unnecessary.

Now, at the same time, I wish it was BETTER. I wish it was more skilful. I wish it was less repetitive. (It is, I have to admit, very repetitive, made on looping DAW software). I really wish I was better at music. I wish it was more sophisticated. More elegant. More trendy and more admired. And certainly I wish it was better mixed and mastered to sound better on other people’s sound systems.

But I no longer wish it was DIFFERENT. I don’t wish it was somehow closer to genre norms, or more like artist X. It’s exactly like artist ME, in the kind of messy between-genre that I make.

I think this is the first album where I really "found my sound".
