This is a short, little experimental demo I put together! I had a scrapped backtrack I wanted to utilize, so I mixed it with an abandoned poem I also had buried. My friend Hunter G. made me some lovely cover art! 💜 

The vocals are obviously super uncertain, but I could clean that up if someone wanted to try working on an official mix for this. 🤷

Hopefully, I'll have some better quality stuff coming out soon, because this is one is actually from last year and I'm working with an actual sound engineer now on another demo I've already posted! 🤞

"Being Cool" A Kimya Dawson COVER

I am responsible for the Music, the Writing, and the Mix.

As a new musical artist, this is an experimental demo I produced from scratch. I think you can really feel the influences of Indie-folk artists, like Kimya Dawson and Cloud Cult. I'm excited about approachable, honest, performative, and narrative music.  I'm excited about collaboration! 

Let me know what you like or what you don't, and thanks so much for listening, folks!

At The End Of The Day

I obviously didn't exactly have a great song structure for this, but that's why i'm looking to collaborate with people who are interested in creating unique and playful, or experimental instrumentals, in the style of lo-fi, dubstep, trap, and folk, techno, chamber pop, synth, etc. 

But what you hear is mine, in it's entirety. 

Feel free to DM me :)

A Literal Demo

Follow my Youtube for nothing of added benefit if you already use this primarily! 

This piece gave me a chance to really work on my song structure and lyrical focus. I was so grateful to be able to work with StarEx and their beautiful track on this experimental demo. I was able to learn a lot more about mixing and recording this time around, thanks to this collaborative opportunity :)
I encourage everyone to check out their other EDM work!

Ay Ay Ay

Thanks again, to Illicite Music for letting me write and record for this cool track he made! Check out his music @ https://soundcloud.com/illicitemusic
They are much better at mixing and producing than I currently am, so I'm sure his finished product of "Cut Me Up" will be MUCH better, lol.

Anyway- Thanks for liking, listening, and lingering. I'm workin' on my own after this again for a bit! BUT I learned a lot more about Reverb and Echo effects while working on this, amongst' other things.

Cut Me Up

Lyrics:

You can’t please everybody
You barely please yourself
You can be anyone if you eliminate a part of yourself

Did you get what you came for?
Did you see what I’m workin’ with?
Did you get your kicks 
Did you get your fill, fill, fill of me?

Yeah, that's a nice trick
I like the sentiment 
You like the way that it feels
But now my heart's like a bass guitar 
it’s like 
Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow
Wow

THRILL ME, KILL ME

HEAL ME, FEEL ME

(Repeats)
 I gave my heart
 and you swallowed it whole
I save your soul
 and you sell it out back

_____________________________________________________________

This song is entirely mine, and while i know i have a way to go on learning to mix, I learned a bunch about distortion, and balancing and leveling trying to make this one. Next song I do, I'm gonna focus on something more deconstructed, simple, and clean...

Hopefully.

Lyrics: 

Distorted Intro:
Hell's Bells and Buckets of Blood - An old British exclamation of annoyance. An idiom expressing frustration or surprise, often shortened to the popularized expression, Hell's Bells. As in, "I’ve forgotten my keys, Hell's Bell's" or, "Hell’s Bells, I think I’m losing my fucking mind…"

I try to be good
Try not to be petty 
I do what I should
I try to be ready
I'm a good guy
I'm a bad bitch
I'm a fuckin' hero
till I get that itch

Hell's Bell's
One more time
Gimme a fix to get off my mind
Hell's Bell's
Hear them chime
Answer the call 
One more time
(Repeat 1x)

Hell's Bell's
Hell's Bell's

Hells Bells

Very proud of how this one came out. I just wanted to do something for all the people I've been missing lately. To my friends; You inspire me. Learned more about layering different parts of the song together on this one. Lyrics were difficult this time around, and are written below!
I'd also like to thank my friend Ruby for creating the lovely cover art!

Lyrics:

My Friends

I see you where I’ve been
I see you where I’m going
I never lose sight of my
 friends

I know that I got no right
I know that ya got no time
do you remember when we did

I won’t regret my sin
Or forget where i've been
Forgive me for rememberin’

Cuz’ I like to bring it up
And I’ll never give it up
because you still fill my
 cup


And Oo
 I miss you 
And OH OH
 i miss you
    (Oh I think of you)
.Are you missing me too
    (Do ya think of me too)

It’s been a long time,
It’s been a long ride
Would you sit here with me? 
Yeh-eh
(i miss the bad days too)


Everyday i’m in my head
I think of you instead
you get me up, up out of my 
bed

When I think I'm not enough
You learned to called my bluff
You always knew what I could do

Now I try to fill the time
We try to make it all rhyme
You try to fix my mixed up mind

It's never been pretend
You'll always be my friends
No, no matter how it ends
