(wanted to start off with my favorite shot of this demo series, watching it always gets insanely excited for this song and the rest of “encore”)

red pill blue pill
(prod + me)

in the book, the fifth adult the prince meets is the lamplighter
the lamplighter extinguishes and relights his lamp over and over because his planet spins once per minute
although the prince admires the lamplighter’s devotion to his duty, the lamplighter represents “blind adherence to routine” and faithful ignorance
there’s nothing wrong in it, but where I am right now, i don’t want to live taking the blue pill and waking up when i’m 40
i refuse to engage in NPC behavior and living life, going through the motions
f**k the system, les pop the red pill and strive for something real

obligatory algorithm injection

i’ll be releasing the final demo for encore tomorrow called “matrix” before heading to LA to finish the EP
thank yall so much for listening to my music, i hope to repay yall with better and better music

making overflow:
overflow pt. 1 started as a synth sample that my engineer and i found on splice
i remember hearing the synths singing parts of the chorus even before laying down the words
after finishing, i told my engineer that it didn’t feel like it was enough, it didn’t feel finished
so we went back in and started building a transition and pt. 2
the inspiration for the latter half of overflow was “swimming pools (drank)” by kendrick lamar
i wanted to capture a lot of the themes and sounds used in the timeless track
so for the transition we tried to create the feeling of being underwater, sinking to the depths beneath the waves
and for the outro, we tried to capture howling in the rain, using thunder and rain sounds
finally the ending, was a lo-fi piano sample from splice with the intent to release the tension
making this song has truly made me feel the most creatively free and alive, so far
so i wanna continue making music to chase that feeling for as long as i can

aight here’s some of the raws

encore 03.03

in the book, the third adult that the prince meets on his interstellar travels is the drunkard
the drunkard drinks to forget the shame of drinking
in this song, i wanted to capture how freeing it can feel to be too drunk to think and be aware and the rollercoaster that alcohol can often bring afterwards
making mistakes, coping with pain, and confronting shame are all part of being human, and that’s what i want to capture the most with my music
what it feels like to be human.

what a night in the studio looks like (in 20 sec)
