About

I started the month with one concept and a plan to make a 5 track ep. After pivoting and doubting myself enough time to give myself whiplash, I ended up with a full 10 track album that blends spoken word pieces, chiptune, and ambient/noise into something far more cohesive than I thought it was going to be! All that because of the RPM challenge forcing me to stop doubting, and just get it done.

Favourite Moment

The moment I moved from "this is an abomination" to "huh, these tracks actually work together pretty well".

Advice

Basically? Just get the music done. You can get away with a lot more than you think.
