About

I started with an idea of a synthy goth rock album. "Direction" and "What Will You Do?" came from there, as well as a couple others. I filled out the rest of the album by reworking some old songs ideas like "Scarring" and "Mindframe" which are my two favorites. Now that it's done, I'm mostly pleased with the results.

Favourite Moment

My family actually liked some of the rough mixes I played in the car over the weekend. That was nice. Most of the time they are just annoyed at how busy I am in February.

Advice

You'll be happy to have and end product, even if it doesn't match your initial goals. It's worth whatever effort you can spare to create your own music.
