lyrics -

I’ve been going back to
my old self
thinking about all i’ve done
thought of going forward
we were misfits
only loving us so much
i’ve been thinking lately
about serenity
all the fail-safes
and tranquility
and I forgot to check in
on myself
thinking I was doing well
on myself
on myself
on myself

I’ve been going back to
my old self
thinking about all i’ve done
thought of going forward
we were misfits
only loving us so much
lately
about serenity
all the fail-safes
and tranquility
and I forgot to check in
on myself
thinking I was doing well
realizing i needed help
oh well

-Alow, born Benjamin Welte, is a San Francisco based artist who is continuously trying to branch out and find new and inspiring methods of creativity within his music. He started messing around on the piano at just two years old, and nearly 2 decades later, has become a well recognized artist with a self made genre from the years of inspiration pooled around him. Playing saxophone, piano, and an array of other instruments, both digital and physical alike, led him on a path of his own, eventually leading to a debut signing and release, first, with bitbird during the create together challenge in 2021 with shwirl and faux ivvy, and on to other labels and creatives such as: Digital Daydream, SILKENWOOD, artbyform and Lacuna (so far)! During his time releasing songs, -Alow has also performed sets for the Webpage 505’s “505FEST” and “Nest Fest”, as well as hosted the weekly radio show on KXSF 102.5 FM, Electronic Venture, for nearly 2 years. He considers the bitbird, silkenwood, his local communities, and teachers as his musical family, and always loves going into a voice chat and talking to people about anything on the table. If you want to get in touch with him, feel free to message him over Discord or Instagram where he will most likely get back to you!

Ben is currently writing music in his bedroom studio at his family home, as he has been for years now, and is very excited to take you on his musical journey that will no doubt be something special.

“i’m always excited for where writing a new song will lead me. it’s always a new adventure either with people i’ve known for years, or someone i’m only just starting to know; and it’s so much fun every time. there isn’t a world i’d live in without music, so bring on the notes and good times!”

ps: 
you can go anywhere regarding music with minimal access to equipment. when i got on bitbird and was just starting out, i was using a 121GB computer, constantly full with memory, and was living off a 500mb hard drive to store projects, along with a midi controller. i've never used serum, or anything i've had to pay for, and all of the plugins and vsts i use are free so far, lmk if u want a list or smth! you can get pretty far with just that alone, just experiment with sounds in mind until you find what speaks to you <3

sending warm regards to whoever's reading
