I sent a draft of the unnamed FACGce song to my good friend and they had some very nice comments :). Those comments also inspired me to pick a name finally! It only took me 2 years to pick one, but it's going to be called "Cascade". I wanted to pick something along the lines of "changing seasons", but keep the (forlorn? stormy? sweeping?) feeling of the song. And I think "cascade" is a good name. When I thing of something "cascading", I think of a violent waterfall— which is what I'm going for.

Unfortunately, I have soundcloud now [not anymore!]. There are some links above [no there aren't]. I uploaded my music final (may 2023), but that is the only new thing. The sburban jungle cover is the same as the one in the youtube video. I'm currently making a song using a sample of a whippoorwill call. Hope that goes well.

Today and yesterday I wrote a song for my good friend, "Sincerely Yours". The mixing and audio quality leave much to be desired, but that's what happens when you record with a headphone mic on garage band. Well, I put it up on soundcloud and sent it over so I hope they like it! (note: they did)

OH MY GOD HI. It's been a while and I forgot to talk about my discovery of wind singing in case anyone (me) is wondering (has forgotten) how wind singing works. It's a technique that has been used with harps for over a thousand years at this point, but from my knowledge it's a pretty new technique for guitars. You take an acoustic (pretty sure it's gotta be nylon string or at least not steel) and hold it up to moderate winds at an angle where you can play it, but the wind also glides across the body of the guitar and hits the strings, making them vibrate. It's really cool and my song "lightning in a bottle" is an improv session using wind singing I recorded on a windy day in August right after I learned how it worked. I really love how it sounds and would make more music with the technique, but I'm currently not in posession of a nylon guitar-- working on that. Still.

Hello! I'm alive. I've been mixing a lot of things for class and just did a huge export of the good songs I've done over the past two years. So, that'll be uploaded soon. I hope this summer will not lead to a music slump, but I am not optimistic about it.

OuuuuUuuuUUugggh I finally got rose / bush / field recorded and it went well! So that's up, phew. However, I have not been proud of any of the work I've produced for class in the past few months... so that makes me a bit sad to think about. I'm struggling musically at the moment.

Heyyyyyy... still have not made a single thing I'm proud of in class this year. Depressing! Well, I uploaded some old things like my final from 2022, and my whippoorwill song. As I say every year, Cascade is ALMOST DONE!!! I also have another song right now, also unnamed but this time in DAF#AD tuning. I had a good idea for its structure, and then I performed it in front of an audience and fucked it up horribly, then I performed it for a friend and fucked it up horribly again and couldn't get through it. I think I'm cursed. I'll fix it soon, and finally name the damn thing.
