im leaving.. (August 22 - September 29 2023)

Had a few hours to kill whilst flying home from Amsterdam to Sydney before and between flights, so I thought I'd see whether I could squeeze in an of-the-moment beat tape of ideas in that short span of time. This release captures the sentiment of what kicked off the creative liberation in my mind around a year ago, that being last year's mixtape, which revolves around the concept of working quickly, finding purpose for all ideas, and embracing artistic rawness (or, the innocence of trying to create something; like this beat tape!). 

My headphones were left in my under-carriage bag for the flights, so this was mixed all on my JBL earbuds - I'd suggest listening to this on headphones/earbuds too (if you can)!
 
Also, I must shout out to JPEGMAFIA for releasing his Devon Hendryx material to streaming platforms. After diving (properly) into releases from the period when he performed under that alias, I stumbled across "Dreamcast Summer Songs" (which he released, I believe, under a different alias: The Rockwood Escape Plan). This release heavily inspired a lot of the sounds on this beat tape; notably, its sonic-rawness and sound-collage arrangements/flow.

"1989" is easily one of my favourite Taylor Swift albums. The songs are addictive, and are also (unsurprisingly) excellent to sample. And so, I decided to create some loops from a couple tracks off the album, and set myself up to put together a loosely pre-planned performance from those samples/loops using Ableton Live 10 on Saturday, August 10 as part of the Music Night series which I've been running this year with friends.

This "Heyes Version" of "1989" is the outcome of these efforts of improvisation and loop-based arranging, shared to a crowd at Weil Park Community Hall in Sydney. It was fun, strange and extremely silly.

By the way, for those not present at the event, some context: I dressed up as Taylor Swift, hence the higher pitched voice at times, alongside comments on hair getting caught in my face.

I packed bags and travelled to Singapore + Japan at the very end of August for three-ish weeks. 

A friend leaving, a few days to spend together with my girlfriend, a general thrill for adventure: those were the reasons I went. 

A phone, Koala Sampler, a beat-a-day challenge: that’s where my creativity went.

Creating music on the phone sounds, in theory, fairly different to making beats on my laptop, but it’s actually more-or-less the same. Each of the beats on this tape were created on my now retired Samsung Galaxy S10+ (this tape’s almost a farewell to that phone, which lived a good five years [R.I.P.]). On my return to Sydney, these beats were compiled together in the order they were made - and tweaked ever-so-slightly with some ambience I recorded whilst away, along with the usual Ableton Live seamless-transitions that were just too hard to do on the phone - to create this tape.

Creating in new environments and using new tools, for me, is incredibly enjoyable => now, the question is: is it enjoyable to the ears of the listener? (Spoiler: that’s for you to decide!).

Inspired by the likes of Daniel Kim and Girl Talk, this record/mashup is my tribute to the '00s; a decade which I spent most of my youth in, mucking around, soaking up that youthful innocence that is now, looking back, smooshed in a murky pool with all the other memories of my early childhood life. 

If you were alive then, you'll likely know a fair amount of the samples used in this mashup - a chronological compilation (loosely following a month-by-month progression) of media circulating around during that time in Australian "popular culture". If you weren't alive, hopefully this inspires you to investigate the decade, uncover it's madness, as well as its truly glorious moments (as there were many!).

the list can be found by searching up the number one singles and box office successes of each year in Australia on Wikipedia (most of the samples, at least).

note: there are tonnes and tonnes of copyright violations to be found in this record - my defense (as it always is): fair use; fair use (!!).
