So I got the squirrel song out. And honestly, I love it a lot, but do not get ahead of me!!

What I mean is, the rest of the album is going to take so many new directions.

There's going to be songs that are so new and fresh to my discography it will almost be like it's a whole different artist producing the album!

One of the songs I have done already is called "toyyfforest". It's a weird, angelic, rustic kind of track that's 7 minutes long lol. It's really interesting. And another song I am currently working on has a very upbeat happy worldly kind of attitude. It's just... idk, but really good.

I am so enamored, and pumped up. This may just end up being my favorite project ever <3

EDIT: forgot some key details

EACH SONG will have its own unique cover art. i kinda just wanted to bring doing fun art back you know, it's been a long time since i've done that.

i wonder what the singles are gonna be like... hopefully too much time doesn't pass before i put out the next one :)

as always, best with headphone~! ;)

it's coming along swimmingly and i had to rework a lot of parts

i can NOT wait for y'all to hear this beast; it's some of my favorite production fr!!

EDIT: almost forgot to mention, there will be an alternate version that has an alternate bridge and alternate third chorus. This was a major rework decision, because I think shifting the mood kind of ruined the whole vibe of the song. But you'll get both versions here when it's done, and on youtube I'll only post the main version (because the alternate version will be for xfv4; which is crazy to think i will have 4 of those after this album releases!!!)

gonna aim to finish the track tomorrow then get it out. it's fun!

i made some THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!! and it's hype

Well, unexpected, but very welcomed; I have some new tools on hand for making music.

And holy moly, they make some absolutely absurd and different sounds. Sounds I have never used in my music before!! They are SO COOL!!!

So I'm super excited to start mixing and creating this next era :)

And uh... I'll try to put out more singles through the year. I think I like doing that more than keeping it all hidden.

Anyway... seeya!! (I don't have any demos started yet so sadly I can't estimate a single date yet... xd)

aha well it's not like, HUGE releases, but still some extra leftover content from the HM production cycle!

Here are the official arts for them:

And again they're not meant to be spectacular, well produced bangers. They're just extra content, so you might not even enjoy most of it. But I hope you like a handful at least :)

life has put me through the ringer this january

not fun

but

i want to work on getting these unfinished music projects moving forward and finished

my spirit is not that easy to break, you see

i guess it's now time to talk about my plan for new music.

and since my youtube audience doesn't exist here i'm gonna spill the beans.

i am doing a rock/guitar album. well. that's the goal.

but the problems are; my amp sucks, i can't record my guitar playing, and i don't have a mic/noise cancelling pads for my room

getting equipment is gonna be HELLA expensive... and i have never had the luxury of saving money...

so

idk. i WANT to make it happen. and i might just brute force it. but. ugh. i just want to play again. it's been so long since i've held it with intense veracity... this year is going to be an uphill battle i fear.

let me get swingin!

my car battery died, and it's gonna cost a lot to get a new one, get the car towed, and have it installed

i'm missing 4 work days because of it

and somehow i fucked up my knee in my sleep yesterday so it's been hard to walk on...

sheesh!
