EPAbout
This is a collection of song concepts made in my friends apartment in Sacramento and Stockton CA. The songs are brief stories or expressions with compositional layers that I would like to fully flesh out in a subsequent album. I attempt to capture feelings and or stories I’ve experienced. Some sonic experiments like “Kings Way” just aim to capture the room and the moment with a layer of melody that the sounds both provoked and became interwoven. In all, while rough, the pieces stand as a direct reflection on/vessel for what would otherwise be fleeting thoughts/memories. I made this EP at an important milestone and I dedicate it to friends in my life that make worth it to be here and whom I love very much. Special Thanks to Gloria Gisel Huera Rodriguez and Alberto Renee Rodriguez for making this album possible.
Favourite Moment
The process of recording was a learning experience that I appreciate going through and will help make the next album better.
Advice
Don’t hesistate ever. Put down tracks in whatever form and pieces and pull them together bit by bit. Embrace the iterative process.
