‘The Broken Places’ starts off with a vocoder loop. See, when I’m making an album, I’ll tend to write about 300 songs and narrow it down to the 15 songs that are on the album, which isn’t to say that the songs that don’t make it onto the record aren’t any good. It’s not like 300 amazing songs and I have to get rid of 285 amazing songs. Some of them aren’t very good. 

This song ‘The Broken Places’ was a weird instrumental that I’d written that I liked and thus assumed no one else would like it. And I played it to a few friends and they were like “Ah actually that’s interesting”. The more I lived with it the more I liked it. And what I love, it’s quiet repetitive and almost every element in there is broken, which I guess in keeping with the title but it’s an old Korg vocoder that barely works. I forget what drum machine I used but one of those, I think it might have been a home made, there is this company from Ohio called Paia and I got a home made kit drum machine that someone built in the 70’s. Again, it just barely, barely works. 

So I felt like this was a broken down, sort of winsome, endearing, electronic piece of music. I needed to come with a title for it. That’s the tricky thing with instrumentals is what you call them. And this one, there is a Ernest Hemingway quote, which I think I’m paraphrasing but basically says, life breaks most of us and some of us are stronger at the broken places, and I’ve always loved that quote, which I’m paraphrasing. And so I liked that as an introductory album title for the album because it does sort of emotionally set the tone for the rest of the record. 

The one regret I have about that first song is the original version is about 8 minutes long and just keeps repeating for 8 minutes. And I was kind of a sissy and I thought that having an 8 minutes repetitive introductory song in an album was just a little too much to expect anyone to get through. So I was a sissy and I edited it down to 3.5 minutes. If anyone wants the full 8 minutes version I am happy to send it to them.

Donkey kick a pig
Before I let em kill in front of me
Honky pick a jig
Since y'all don't wanna confront the knee
Black bodies built the nation
Black bodies bore the brunt to free
Now we've been mighty patient
So it's time that we defund police
Well who will rush to save you after you've taken a beating
Station teaching escalation
But where's my ticket for speeding
Instead I got a black eye after no Miranda reading
Listen I know my rights
So double eagle's my greeting
These fragile egos need love
But won't find that here
See I'm a big fan of stats
So I'll keep my facts clear
Since 2020 there's been
Over 1,000 killings a year
250,000 people injured
Mere tip of the spear
Use chemicals illegal in our war zones
On their own citizens
No warrant to kick down the door of your home
Emboldened by the system
They protect the boar's throne
NLEAD away from accountability
Hope they're haunted by the floor bones
For real though
These fuckers kill over 10,000 domestic dogs per year

All sore losers
Attitude poor
Maybe we shouldn’t keep score anymore
Maybe we shouldn’t fund war anymore

Poet tree sips peace for free
0 gravity please release the core
What is at the center of a being
Can every mess truly be cleaned

Gang get silent as the story goes
Can’t fight man’s right to compose a poem
Chant gets violent as rebellion grows
These hellions flow through hell and snow
To help you slow the status quo
Get mad and throw your soul at every healthy open road
Till mountain find the alpenglow

You, yeah you
Have made it though 100 percent of your bad days
Remember that
Because on those bad days it may seem like there's no
Hey you're gonna make it through this one
But remind yourself that you have persevered
You have been the one who has put yourself to the next day
Because bad days are bound to happen
Bad days are a reality, not a situation
Not just an experience
They are what makes us who we are
But remember
That you have made it through 100 percent of your past bad days

Past bad days
Made it through another night attached to the rays
Truly you can do this
You just really gotta find out what your truth is
Root this
Roots fixed
New growth begins 
For every storm weathered
Bark gets thicker, your grin
Is an improvement to your skeleton 
We gotta love the suit we are in  

That's something I have to remind myself
Because there are times when I feel really low
And those days are hard
And I know that if you're in that day right now
It may not feel like that's the case
But just remember that 
This
Too
Shall
Pass

I had chat with the doc
The diagnosis is simple
So stop looking at the clock
The lie we been taught
Time is just a construct
Pass me the rock
Big wool sock energy 
I’m passing the shock
This some AC current
Prefer reciprocation from the more observant 
Emergent a different form of being
Concurrent with urgent expressions
Toward every fleeting moment is freeing
You’re seeing the way it could be
But not the way that you’re being
We climb a thousand times
But conveniently stop at the ceiling
I caught a heavenly breach
Hands out to the cosmos
Grabbed what I could reach
Locked on the jaws closed
Came back to surface
I’m nervous not worthless
Don’t divert from purpose
Not my monkeys
Not my circus

You are stronger than you give yourself credit for
And if you start to think about
How you have made it through 100 percent of those days
It could potentially give you that strength
To push on to the next one

Your strength is tied to a length device
Based on the times you’ve tried
And still survived
You still thrive
Despite the bumpiest drive
Life’s no test
Just awkward jive
So when death arrives
I hope you’re found alive
Master of fate 
Seems fake
May be a source of debate
When most the cents you make
Somehow belong to the state
Where every one step forward 
Two steps on a grenade 
A system truly rotten through
It may seem broken
But its working how its supposed to
Work harder to remove the bad fruit 
But you gotta chop roots
You wanna go that route
Don’t let it decompose you too
Decompose you too
You too

You are a wonderful, strong, courageous individual
You are stronger than you believe
You are more powerful than you know
And you have the capabilities of getting through anything
Just remember how strong you are
And love yourself just a little bit more because of it today
Just remember how strong you are
And love yourself just a little bit more because of it today
Today

I like experimenting with sounds. Most of my songs are going to be #melancholic and influenced by #rnb, #rock, #pop, #edm, #blues, #electronic and #trap. I often blend genres into #fusion. I like to incorporate #romantic, #dark and #cosmic themes into my songs. But I plan to experiment with more themes and genres in the future.
I am currently a university student so my uploads might be somewhat irregular, but feel free to follow if you like my work!

I don't answer mails and comments a lot due to too many messages by bots and people trying to sell me things.

Figured I should give a thanks to my loyal fans here on SoundCloud and on Spotify. I love to make music that is more than just simple listening. These songs usually come to me in moments of perpetual energy spurts and drive.

My goal is to make an album this year. Producing singles has always been infinitely easier for me but I want to push myself to make something really stand out. I've always wanted to at least inspire someone out there to maybe be changed by my music, as I wish to spread good vibes and receptiveness. You'll understand right?

I hope this reaches someone out there who is just that much more happy by hearing my music. You truly mean much more than a number to me.

All of your synthwave needs. Much love.

Composer | Audio Engineer | Keyboardist

I'm a musician specializing in electronic and film music production as well as keyboard performance.

Currently not taking any chorus mix requests, sorry!
