About Me

.. I'm just a regular dude with some microphones, guitars and pianos that records stuff. I've been known under the name "novacancy", "On Shot McGlauchlin" and probably a couple others too. I've been a lazy douche with recording and playing shows because... well... I'm a douche. But since I've finished school (finally) and I'm dedicating the next year to doing fun things with music.
I'm in the process of recording all of my songs and am aiming for a January/February release (which I will give away for free at shows) or find ways to give them to people, cause I'm nice like that sometimes. Other than that, you'd just have to listen to my music.
Also keep in mind that all of the songs on this page aren't final versions (yet). I've since rerecorded everything on here (provided I want to keep them), many of them with a full band (played by me), orchestrations (also done by me) and other things that I see fit. So yeah, don't judge me for the crappy sound of the songs.

So I haven't been the most sufficient worker when it comes to music. In fact, I'm a little lazy. But I like recording things, so I do it. But usually only when it suits me. Which is a dangerous th...
