After about two years of recording, I released a 14 track record called "The Captaincy EP" on January 30th, 2015. 

Let's call that first release the A-Side. I fuck with it very much. 

But I made hella more music during that window of existence and I need to share it with you. It's my duty.

The title of this collection speaks to the idea of taking control of my experience. I am Captaincy. I needed to figure out what that meant and what I was gonna do with my new understanding.

I moved to Seattle in June 2013 and entered a transformative period of clarity. Surrounded by novelty, yet forced to work and play the role of a cog in a crumbling system, I let my new circumstances fuel my fire. I would work during the day and record at night. I had to release. Emote. I was depressed, I was anxious, I was excited, I was ready, I was spiteful, I was hungry.

I starved the middle man by avoiding paying for things like studio time, album artwork, mixing/mastering.. I came to the  conclusion that I need to do it all myself. If shit sounds scratchy at first, or not all the way polished, so be it. That's the process. The more music I made, the better it started to sound. Growth is gratifying. I am glad to say everything is written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by me. I worked inside of various closets, locked cars, and bedrooms. I recorded on Garageband and mixed/mastered with Logic. 

Thematically, I tried not to focus on making much of a succinct piece of work.. The A-Side ended up sort of revolving around the Alan Watts piece at the beginning of 'Crescendo' and the quantum notion of simultaneously living and dying, but more or less, I just said said fuck it and created for creation sake. It's better that way.

With that said, I have opened the Chamber of Secrets. Let my voice be the basilisk. Get stoned like a dirty filthy mudblood and enjoy yourself for me
