‘Hold It Close’ is an overview of my journey as a music producer. It touches on the pitfalls, ambitions, and promises that you make to yourself throughout the pursuit of being a musician.

As I began writing with a feeling and an atmosphere, I started thinking, “What am I going through while making this? What do I want to talk about? What do I need to talk about? Who else is affected by the same things?”

This album is my answer to these questions.

Thanks to: my ever-supportive friends, family, mentors, and the one reading this :)

Full greetz can be found in my liner notes.

i was so honored to be asked by the doodle team to do music for their extremely ambitious doodle, celebrating the life of pioneering game tech developer jerry lawson (aka the man responsible for inventing the exchangeable game cartridge, leading the way for the NES, SNES, megadrive/genesis and so on!)

i approached each in-game track with limitations suitable for the time (so the 8bit track and 16bit track are at least somewhat within range of what would be feasible on equivalent hardware of the time)--while the "edit mode" and "menu" tracks are meant to be "outside" the machine, set in jerry lawson's workshop, an optimistic and happy creative mood!

please check out the doodle and read more about jerry lawson's history here: https://www.google.com/doodles/gerald-jerry-lawsons-82nd-birthday

In Game (16bit Version)

Throughout HardSpeed's narrative, there is a group of recurring midbosses who think they are the main villains. I decided to give them their own theme for when they're doing a monologue at you while you're just trying to go about your day.
