My name is Billy Callahan.  I live in Chicago.  I do this for fun

My Hobby sounds for all souls in the entire World and all entities in other Worlds

From 2007 to 2013 I was releasing music compilations (comps for short) via the musicblog comps4jenna.  I was also broadcasting an even wider selection of music across the airwaves through my show The Quest running from 2010 to 2013 on the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP).  After a 6-year hiatus, in 2019 I mailed out postcards (technically index cards) to friends and family sharing four more comps seasonally themed Comps 65 (Spring) through 68 (Winter).

The origin of these compilations dates back to early 2007 when I gave several mixes to my friend Jenna.  In Fall 2020 I recompiled those initial mixes into Comps 1-4 (which had been reserved as placeholders for all those years on comps4jenna – the first comp ever released for public consumption was Comp 5) and Comps 69-72 bookending all previous releases.  These re-compilations were once again shared with friends and family this time using actual postcards.  All 72 compilations are available here and in a Spotify playlist named quest4comps in which now the word "comps" is also short for completeness.

Rest as Mutes is a three piece Shoegazer/Post-Hardcore band from Seattle, WA. We write, record, play and ride sonic waves. 

"Can you say "Rush of post-hardcore"? Hell yes." Carlos Ramirez (No Echo)

"psychedelic shoegaze masterpiece with a post-hardcore attitude"  https://thoughtswordsaction.com

"they bring several sonic ideas to the table in a genre bending mix of colliding guitars and drums, creating a wall of sound that is easy to get lost in." Northwest Music Scene

"...Rest as Mutes manage to combine their stylings in a unique way that distinguishes them from their contemporaries." --Greg Hyde @Silence is the Enemy
