Sleepless

Last week I did a acoustic quick take of the song, today I decided to do it again but mix the entire song with all instruments, and added a few tiny touch ups to the arrangement

Anberlin - Younglife (Full Cover)

Fall Out Boy - Of All The Gin Joints (Cover)

I spent a long time on this, especially dialing in the vocal sound

Passion Pit - The Reeling (Cover)

YAAC

Yet Another Anberlin Cover

I love this band

I actually did this cover almost a year ago but I redid all the vocals and also employed way better mixing techniques

Anberlin - The Resistance (Cover)

Lena and I covering the song together. It was a fun experience!

Kimbra - Wandering Limbs (Cover)

Fall Out Boy - Head First Slide Into Cooperstown (Cover)

Just another cover from one of my all time favorite bands

Fall Out Boy - XO  (Cover)

I tried to recreate the vibe of the live version that used a live orchestra at royal albert hall in 2016. Of course my virtual instruments cannot match real humans, nevertheless I am proud of what came about. Thanks to my friend Lena for providing background vocals!

Bring Me the Horizon - Oh No (Cover)

A shorter version without the intro.

Bring Me the Horizon - Oh No (Short)(Cover)

Fall Out Boy - W.A.M.S (Cover)

After watching the movie for the first time a few weeks ago (finally) I decided to cover the awesome song that Brie Larsons character performs in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"

Metric - Black Sheep (Cover)

I played my first live show at helios37 with the pseudonym "Don't Trust the Milk". I was accompanied by my awesome musician friends Max and Lena. 
There is still a lot of room of improvement for my performance skills! I was so scared that my voice got all cramped a lot of times.

Pierce the Veil - Hold On Till May (Cover)

This song means a lot to me

Reuploaded - I added a rotary to the synth and redid the vocals to the first verse because it sounded a little off

Anberlin - Disappear (Cover)

I've been learning how to properly place the vowels "Oh" and "Ah". I was using this as a practice song and ended up having so much fun with it, that I made a full cover

Fall Out Boy - Twin Skeletons (Cover)

I made this cover and forgot about it, just found it while cleaning my projects

The Story So Far - Take Me As You Please (Cover)

Yet another cover. As I baritone I struggle with covering bands like this, but I think I did a good job. I love the outro of this song so much, the line "silence is deafening" is emphasized so beautifully to me in that part. 

For this track I played the drums with a cajon & a makeshift hi-hat made up of pennies in a small cloth sack and then retriggered & blended them with samples. I am so happy I did this, it is so much more fun and sounds more organic then just programming midi!

The Story So Far - White Shores (Cover)

No Pressure and The Story So Far are reminiscent of the early 2000s pop punk like blink 182 and it makes me feel alive again. Makes me wanna go out skateboarding in the summer sun

No Pressure - Both Sides (Cover)

I pretty much remade my original cover of this song I made a few years ago just to see how I have improved

Simple Creatures - Lucy (Cover - Revised)

For this one I did an acoustic one take and was planning on keeping it at that. But I like the electronic sounds from the original too much, so I ended up just recreating the whole song.

I also went through a rollercoaster ride of hating my own voice and coming back to being proud of performance in the timespan it took me to make this cover. I think I will always hate my own voice to a certain degree, but at least I feel like I did the best to my capabilities at the moment!

MSTRKRFT - Heartbreaker (Cover)

I am super proud of this cover. I did not edit any takes, these are all raw (vocals & guitars). And I feel like this is the first time I have made a mix without outside help, that sounds cohesive and fitting. I feel like my vocals sit well in this one.

Aside from that, I just love this entire Album by Story So Far. The arrangements and overall songwriting feels so pleasing to me. 
In this song particularly the line in the second pre chorus carries so much energy "Barely here lately, Distant and lazy, I lack the motivation in a basic conversation, will you chase me if I run? You want more but I have none". I cannot get enough of it

The Story So Far - Watch You Go (Cover)

I decided to bundle the songs I made over the past few years into a single EP. These are a collection of songs I worked on between 2022 and 2024. There is no coherent theme to these songs, other that they mark my first steps into music production, hence the name of the EP.
During this time period I reconnected with my old school friend and now producer/audio engineer Julian Schneid, who either mastered, mixed or produced most of the songs on this EP.   I believe his gradually increasing involvement and influence on my own production skills can be heard in the difference of quality between these tracks. 
Vertigo for example is heavily based on a track Schneid wrote back in ~2014, which lead to us doing a full re-recording of my demo over at his studio. I think the quality of that production sticks out over my other works.
 
I did a final minor touch up on the eq and loudness to make the songs flow together more organically in the context of this EP - but the  true mastering credits go to Julian Schneid
