Been waiting for this and you did not disappoint. Sky is not the limit, good job Dan! 🔥

such a sick message and great philosophy. Personally I really think you're succeeding in what your definition of an artist is. great work

I can't believe this is finally out!! SO PUMPED!!

this touched me.... i loved music... i play piano when i had 4 years old... i remember being able to replicate sounds on my piano i can hear at this age... later i got to the musician school but not being happy with the instruments that i have to play here i was always listening to dubstep. Then i remember when my friend @soffizlly teached me about FL Studio. and stuff.. i got some cool tracks, some amazing memories doing them. piece of me in my own creation.. i produced for 5 years... Until 2022 when i spread coffee on my laptop and sadly destroyed whole data of the computer:( i lost everything i collected. sample packs, plugins, my projects while i was spending 80 hours in... everything lost.. its been a year without any music production from me... my mom's believes in me.. i was slowly losing hope .. and today. im listening to this track... and exacly like you said. Artists should inspire us. Thank you for inspire me. You are great artist. wish you great future man!

I’ve been dealing with some serious self-doubt and burnout lately and this little monologue genuinely helped me so much. I already know this album is gunna be sick!

You ARE truly an inspiration man. Thank you for being here, keep doing you ❤️

Neddie - Till We Meet Again

[Project] Wireframe /// Track 1

This is where it all started.

In 2019 I realized everything I was doing was pointless.

Today's musicians are placed in a stupidly toxic position. If they aren’t feeding the algorithm, constantly growing and doing 10 jobs at once, all of their hard work is swept away by the endless waves of new music and competition. I remember feeling like I was working harder than anybody, but I treated myself like shit for not hitting the same numbers as other musicians which led to toxic work habits. Maybe if I made MORE music or BETTER sound design I could get the numbers they had? Maybe I need to make more short form content? Maybe I need to change my sound? The doubts just kept rolling in and I was killing myself by doing what I THOUGHT I should be doing.

The truth is, we ask ourselves the wrong questions and create this toxic position for ourselves. I didn’t NEED the numbers to be happy. Yeah I have to make money to live, but it didn’t NEED to be from music for me to finally BE happy. As long as I could sustain myself and MAKE music that would make me pretty happy, right? What the fuck was the point in doing this to myself?

I think it was 2020 when I finally started asking the right questions; “Why am I doing this? What are my true goals? Why does ANY of what I create matter?” These were my answers…

1) What I wanted to do was create ANYTHING that made me feel proud; music, art and all. 
2) My goals were to have a sustainable income and ensure I had time to create and be social. 
3) What I was making hardly mattered in the world and especially to myself.

I didn’t like the answer I gave myself on the last question, so I took a step back from being a musician, and I decided I wanted to become an Artist. I wanted my shit to matter, at bare minimum, to myself. I’ll say in highsight, this is the best choice I ever made and I am happy.

This is the foundation of who I was as a musician and my journey to becoming what I self define as an "Artist". I'm excited to hear what you think about the music, how you interpret it and I want to thank you so much for being with me in this moment.

Every time I hear this record I just think about how lucky I am to have such amazing people around me.

We're now half way through the album. The sense of independence I felt at this point and the freedom from that self inflicted curse of chasing the numbers was beautiful. Despite this, I realized that this story only looked into issues I was facing at the moment, but I wanted to dive deeper and look more into my past.

This started by looking back at every single video I had on my phone since 2014 when I started making music. Honestly one of the best experiences I ever put myself through and I got to revisit so many memories and friends. Each recording you hear here is from my phone and I tried my best to highlight my journey and people who are crucial to my life in this moment. Each field recording and ambience you hear across this entire album is taken from the videos on my phone at different times and locations. Each moment of this album is so important to me.

This is a skill I have been preaching to everyone I meet. Listen and Learn. It sounds so simple in concept, but doing it successfully is actually really hard. Ask yourself, the random dude you met at the club, on discord, at school, wherever- how much do you remember from chatting with them? Did that conversation actually matter to you? 

To listen means to hear someone from their thoughts and not your own. A lot of times, we subconsiously "listen" to people with our own bias and you will learn much more if you can dig deep and remove that bias. To learn means to actually remember what that person said and study it in your mind. Come to your own conclusions after removing that bias and watch how much you can take away from even a basic conversation. 

This song is called "Listen / Learn" because I've never made drum and bass before this. I can't tell you how many thousands of tracks I've listened to now in the genre and that was all purposeful. I still don't think I "did it right", but I definitely did it my way and I took inspiration from more sources than I can name on paper. It wasn't just about listening to the tunes, it was about studying them and asking what they were trying to accomplish. Not what I heard, but what did the artist who made it hear.

YEO! Here's a free plate me and @cure97 cooked up using some sounds from his Cured Sounds Vol.2 Sample Pack. Been rinsing this in sets and getting good reactions so I thought I'd put it out there and help promote my homies pack.

There's SO much material in this pack to mess with and manipulate- I've been resampling with it non-stop and highly recommend if you're in need of some crisp multi-genre sounds. Genuine recommendation, not some promo shit. I just really enjoyed using it and think you will too.

Grab the pack here: https://lostaud.io/products/cured-sounds-vol-2

To celebrate the release of my new plugin, "Chroma" developed by my company Xynth Audio & Nasko, we decided to make an official demo track!

Big thanks to Audius for sponsoring an official remix contest for the tune which includes a $500 cash prize and some awesome production tools!

STEMS: https://audius.co/PaperSkies/paper-skies-x-nasko-x-audius-72-hour-beat-battle

Really pushed Chroma to its limits to make some dope sounds and we're happy to share those sound design methods if anybody has questions!
