"Thank you so much to Lexciya for inviting and trusting me as someone who is neither a musician or DJ, but merely a giant music nerd, to put together my first ever mix for what is very likely my single favourite series! I feel incredibly honoured and humbled to be here, and to be honest can still hardly believe it!

"I’d never done anything like this before and it was a learning process to say the least, and while I know I’ve got a long way to go and a lot more to learn, I’m happy to say I’m quite pleased with what I was able to figure out as I went, and hope others will enjoy listening to this as much as I do. To be honest I never saw myself doing this, but now I feel like this has opened me up to a whole new world of creative expression that I haven’t tapped in to in many years, and I can’t wait to keep exploring this a bit more. Thanks again for the opportunity and to anyone that gives this a listen. "

Single from Water Memory, out December 21st 2017.

/////////

Water Memory began as an imagination of the feelings that are floating through the natural world around us. It morphed and cycled and gained memories of my own which are now contained like those in all bodies.

(AN ASCII IMAGE OF BOWSETTE) (KARAKO's THEME)

friendsim spoilers:

karako is a very young and very small child juggalo. on twitter i described karako as "the one clown you are not allowed to be horny for" and a bunch of chuckleheads tried to be funny and say like "hueuhuhe is that a challenge" and its like one why don't you just listen to me when i say things, two stop trying to one up me you will never ever win, and three i am eagerly waiting your apologies. my inbox is open.

i mean i get it. i was just on a podcast this morning talking about how the one thing that binds us all together is that we've all engaged in some clownery. i think i talk about regrettably hooking up with a juggalo as a teen for a solid 10 minutes. its hard being me.

i just moved and gave my old electric bass away to a friend who was interested in learning. i recorded this before giving it away. goodbye electric bass. dozens of children will miss how i used to just go ham on the bass in a bunch of songs for no reason. oh also im beatboxing for two seconds in this one. i ran it through a filter so it sounds less like "james roach making some sounds."

all in all, i wanted to make this one sound a little more whimsical so i borrowed the synth i made for my friends dnd character theme... where they're also a clown? its a really good synth. ok marsti is up next.
