I blended acoustic and electronic sounds with a contemporary reggae feel with some jazz and dubstep influences. The violin, Indian recorder, piano, 70's toy piano, and synth were played by me. Everything was made from scratch. I hope everyone enjoys. Tweet to @gwatsky so he can hear it! Sorry for the bad audio quality. I will try to make a link for a high quality download.

Watsky Cardboard Castles- SUPER OLD lol

UPDATE — this is not a representation of my current work whatsoever….but I have it here for high school friends to reminisce and enjoy. 



Original description from 2015: This is an original rap by Drew Dickenson, written and recorded by the man himself.  His flow is too sick for human ears, but a trained dolphin can appreciate it fully.  Drew, or YF, wants to give a shout out to all his supporters and a bigger one to the haters.  I will add lyrics to this description eventually. Thank you to Danielle Pacia, Chad Owens, Ryan Ramsey, etc. who made Drew's dream a reality.

"Beautiful Butterfly" by Drew Dickenson

Recorded this on the violin I recently finished making. I drew heavily from the Johnny Mathis version, as I was going for that early 60s sound.  All strings were recorded live on my violin, except the cello on the last two notes (midi). 

Piano, bass, and cymbals were played using midi instruments. Brush snare and hi hat loop was sampled from Y.K MUSIC STUDIO Youngkyu Hong (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTHj7S1U7M).

"Misty" (Jazz Violin)

Tracked this in my dorm room back in February. Vocals by Aya, arrangement by me. Enjoy!
