about

It's odd to call a ten-ish year period my "early period" in creating music, but it's accurate. Music's been my secondary, but important, focus as I've learned how to make podcasts. And I consider myself a bit of a slow learner musically.

But here, you'll find a bunch of odd stabs in the dark at making music. Some tracks are more listenable than others. The volumes jump pretty widely between tracks, unfortunately. I should probably go back and remaster these tracks. Someday, I suppose.

Of particular interest might be the last track in this album, which was my first attempt at making music programmatically. The "autosong" was a large session I made, where samples were triggered at random with long period LFO's slowly fading elements in and out.

Anyways, feel free to buy or listen for free to your hearts content. Someday I'll make a real real album 💖
