‘Hold It Close’ is an overview of my journey as a music producer. It touches on the pitfalls, ambitions, and promises that you make to yourself throughout the pursuit of being a musician.

As I began writing with a feeling and an atmosphere, I started thinking, “What am I going through while making this? What do I want to talk about? What do I need to talk about? Who else is affected by the same things?”

This album is my answer to these questions.

Thanks to: my ever-supportive friends, family, mentors, and the one reading this :)

Full greetz can be found in my liner notes.

About:
In the heart of space, a lone pilot endeavours across the galaxy. His cargo: ten-thousand tons of Yttrium, and the immeasurable weight of years of solitude...
He lands on the carbon planet 55 Cancri e. Four times two the mass of Earth and four halves the radius, it reaches temperatures of 2,150 °C (3,900 °F). The pilot, profusely sweating, finds the galaxy's most remote musicians, the Four Men. The four men write all of their songs together, simultaneously. Will this eternal curse of solitude fade away? Godspeed...

raw recording (a bit of noise at the beginning sry). Will probably add some baller onnanoko voice samples later for the odd transitions, as it was originally intended. 1x LSDJ with DMG-01

@MusicWeeklies challenge for 2/27 - "Enchanted Forest"

I imagined a forest that led people through it's confusing and enchanted mist by the use of wooden bells hanging from the tree tops. After finding this photo as reference online, the creativity started churning and 6 hours later, this is the result <3

Song: Metropolitain

This track is from the second incarnation of Nintendium-118, a collaborative chiptune compo hosted by the PSG Cabal themed around the elements. Each entrant was randomly assigned an element from the periodic table, and had to create a chiptune track based around it. This year's release features a healthy mixture of newcomers and alumni from Volume 1, leading to a compo that is familiar, yet also refreshingly novel.

"Made with 0CC, 2a03+VRC6+VRC7. Used the DPCM channel tonally for some interesting (if very noisy) chords and sounds for the bulk of the song. I exported each channel independently and mixed them in my DAW, leading to this sort of heavily post-produced chiptune sound."
