about

I really enjoy music without words, yet I find myself writing and singing in a band exclusively making word based songs. These other ideas are buzzing around in my head, I imagined how cool it would be to try to emmulate a new genre. One that I can accomplish within my own home on a budget, on my own time. Take a chance try something new.

I foud myself immersed in a genre early last year - video game sound track. Mostly Japanese composers, mostly key board midi. I've always tried to emmulate music I like and spent the next year keeping the idea on the back burner until December 2022 when I was out of work and decided it was time to take action.

Really this was my best attampt at catchy 'themes'. I had a visual in mind for every song. I find writing within thematic limitations sometimes gets me gassed. It's not as inventiv as Kraftwerk or Yellow Magic Orchestra, but there are some good moments. I think FT2 is worth listening to and mostly a creative exploration as I learn how to produce, write new material, see what I am capable of. I don't want just one genre, there are objectivly so many good ones! It's also a tribute to my childhood. It's another notch on my cataloug belt. It's just more music you can find by ME. Gosh I wish there was more!

I took direct inspo from calssic video game sountracks. Often following the same song structures. Sometimes I took a melody frowm, Zelda, say, and just flipped it into a minor key and went from there. Please reach out write me if you want to know more or enjoyed it or want to own it on tape. It sounds great on cassette, and Matt Sharer's art is so good.
