About

My first-ever album. Made with a laptop, audio interface, and a radioshack usb mic. The concept, in short, is basically that Buzzcocks song "Ever Fallen In Love" but stretched out to 30 minutes

Favourite Moment

All of the music coypyright debates, and the convo regarding the RPM rules on covers. I still have my own opinions on the rule, but at this point I've learned to just keep them to myself haha.

Advice

Don't overthink it! Allow yourself to write bad music, you'd be surprised by how much that can get the gears turning.
