Join me on a journey through my favorite formative works—resuscitated from the cutting room floor and sewn into a beautifully psychedelic trip through the early years of my creative journey. This is my prelude.

Welcome to my prelude – a collection of early works and cutting room floor material that I didn't want to simply let die on my hard drive. As a result of the nature of this project, many of these tracks are rough around the edges and in various states of completion. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this peek into my formative material before I move on to more fully realized projects.

Stay tuned!

do you dream of data?  i think i do.  this song came to me in a dream.  it sounded like tiny little machines at work in my head.  i captured it as best as i could before the dream faded.

📝 (a note from mazy)

this week's episode of prelude is a personal favorite of mine.  "whispers on the wind" serves as a love letter to the beautiful works of C418.  i have always been heavily inspired by his simplistic, yet incredibly evocative brand of electronica, both in the minecraft OST and his solo works.  to pay homage, i wanted to create a song with a beauty that is more than the sum of its parts– music that weaves a swirling, kaleidoscopic soundscape that easily serves as a backdrop, yet demands attention despite its subtlety.

of course,  i had to put my own fingerprints on the style, and i achieved this through the use of my signature polyrhythms.  compositionally, i made use of different subdivisions of 11 with short-steps scattered throughout.  coupled with the whispery wind sounds and distant resonant chimes, the resulting piece is just as unpredictable as the wind itself, turning on a heel at any given moment, gently carrying the listener up to the sky and dropping them on to the clouds.  it is an especially fitting song for a warm, windy day.

i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it. 💜
