More music coming 2023!
I am planning to release 3 or 4 more albums starting December 2022 and through 2023.
These are 90% unreleased back catalogue works I was never satisfied with and didn’t consider finished. However, it’s time to let go of perfection and accept them as they are as finished.
Gshkomina
Gshkomina ⫽ɡəʃˌkɒmɪnə⫽ is my word. It vaguely means excitement and seeing potential, but it’s more visceral than that. I started saying it repeatedly and absent-mindedly during composing and production sessions of various tracks.
The concept for this album will be music I am most proud of and the more recent productions.
Skeletons In The Cloud
The concept for this album is a play on words of skeletons in the closet and the data we leave on the Internet in the cloud. The music here will be fairly unpolished and a little cringey but music I spend a significant amount of time working on and can’t let go, but also cannot work on anymore, either from losing interest or losing the project files.
Lost Project Files
The title here is very obvious and straight forward, though I am not totally happy with it. If I can find another word or short phrase that means the same thing I might use it.
Essentially, this music will be the least polished and some of the oldest music I have made which I have completely lost the project files for. This release may turn out to be quite a bit of work as most of the audio may not be fit for release, (too quiet, too loud, clipping etc). I may have to do some tedious mastering and fixing. But sticking to goal of leaving things be, and not striving for perfection. It will be a balance of improvement enough for release fitness and keeping the original vibe.
BangDroid – The Worst Of
This is a maybe. The idea here is the opposite of how most artists have a Best Of album containing the most popular or favorite music. If released, it will be an EP maybe 5 tracks and mostly terrible almost unlistenable. Okay, maybe not that bad but certainly nothing I am very proud of. Again, it may turn out to be a bit of work getting the audio fit for release.
All of the music I make comes from an original seed idea. Sometimes it’s a tune or a beat in my head, sometimes it’s a production concept I want to experiment with, sometimes I may try to replicate a certain sound, but they all come from very simple beginnings. Sometimes they turn out to be turds. Turds that should have been flushed, and occasionally you get emotionally invested in the idea of a project and keep working on it. The Worst Of will be just that.
