Alright. This is probably a long one. Apologies. I'm checking in. I looked through a few friends' profiles, and I saw some activity, which is great. But I can't check everyone - in complete honesty, the "stream" is an inoperable clutter for me anymore.  So I'm going a bit more direct. 

Currently, we're all good on my end. All healthy. I don't know if you all are like me, but this "social distancing" isn't anything for me at all. Avoiding going out and interacting with people is kind of my primary mode of operation at all times, and I absolutely never get bored. I'm not going to paint you with the same brush, but seriously, musicians are more or less all about self-entertainment, right?

I know everyone probably has a bajillion things going on, and I don't expect to get any messages per se - if you see this, just know that I hope you all are safe and well, and as little as it may mean, you're in my thoughts. (just because it's a corny and ineffective statement doesn't decrease its truth!) I have a tendency to be a bit pessimistic, but the thing that keeps coming back to me is how much more difficult this whole thing would have been - from a technology standpoint - even 10 years ago. That's kind of amazing. 

One major change I have personally noticed, in having a house full of family at all times, is that it's a bit challenging to holler at a microphone. Got Legos clicking and falling in the background, youtube videos, laundry, dishes, etc. So I've primarily been working on mixing and editing stuff I already had recorded. 

In this area, you guys are already a little ahead of the curve. I wrote a new story, and it goes along with not only several albums, but also with several different projects. (Comic friends: it's a crossover!!) It's called Time Machine Chronicles, and it's looking like it'll be about 12 story sections, in varying lengths. You have already heard at least two, but I'm bandcamping the rest as I get them tidied and trimmed up. 

Let's start here:

That's part 1. Story is in the album description, and it's a free download if you want it. This track I'm adding is a clip from that. 

I posted part 2 a little earlier today, also free:

I'm compiling the whole story-thing on my site too, on a single page:
https://mayorofdonutville.com/time-machine-chronicles/

It's been a great source of entertainment for me, and I hope it entertains you a bit too, if you need it. Got fun things in store. 

I have been working also on new tunes for Letterpress Mighty with Micah, and new tunes for Ruphord with Austin. Funny enough, I had been considering starting to play shows again - that's not happening for a while! We'll just wait it out, and see what happens!

Take care of yourselves, be well, stay safe, get in contact if you feel like it. I'll be hiding out, like usual, only more worried about my comrades. Thanks, friends!

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.

Oneo Fakind is an eclectic electronic experiment. The duo formed in 2017 and their debut album Your Secrets are Safe With Us was born in a frenzy of emails and live jamming on subways. Fusing elements of ambient and psychedelic electronica with hip hop and trap, the project invited listeners to share their darkest secrets. 

In 2018 the duo released their sophomore album Friendly Reality Ambush Squad, with more complex and layered work but the same signature blend of beautifully disparate elements meshing in surprising and often uplifting ways.

Released in the midst of a pandemic their third full length album, 2020's The Death of Us, continued to surprise and excite even as it invited reflection and slowing down.

One Star also manifests as 'for this i dock u 3 star' .

I currently suffer from a broken right wrist which is why i can´t play guitar and produce music at the moment. New stuff will be coming up. Thanks for Your patience.

Hey! It's Leighton. This is some music I make. Thanks to the Soundcloud community for the support, and for all the great music. I'm not on here very often and my music making endeavors are extraordinarily scattered, but I still exist. Apologies for not listening more to the wonderful music that you are all kicking out.
