Derek Carter (KapTep) about Music for Migraines:

"The concept for Music for Migraines began with a track on my debut release Overcast on Chitra Records in 2023 (chitrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/overcast). At the time I was putting the album together, my intention was to do several songs on the album in that vein, hence the aptly titled Music for Migraines (Part 1). This is music to slow the mind down, relax, heal, and mend. For one reason or another, I never got back to the creation of additional MFM tracks for that release.

Fast forward to the summer of 2024, I began revisiting the concept. This time the idea was to do an EP. Around that same time, I was talking with Brannan Lane and pitched the MFM concept and the idea of collaborating on this as an EP. Brannan agreed, and we set out on the journey. We started out thinking perhaps 2 or 3 original songs plus a remix. However, what followed was a flurry of creativity as we quickly exchanged wavs, stems, edits. The end result was 7 original songs and 4 remixes.

Helpfully you will find this album to be a step towards healing, a breath of fresh air, and just what you need to slow down the mind. Lo-fi Ambient if you will.

I’m very proud of what we accomplished. I certainly could not have done this without Brannan whose help and skills with music production, mixing, and all-around professionalism are unmatched.

A big thank you also goes out to those artists who were so generous with their time to provide remixes. Each artist brought a different view and expertise to the project.

Thank you Le Code, Dionisaf, Metric System 1981, and v e n n".
