About Me

how to make music independently:

1. get a computer.

2. steal a mic.

3. find an adapter to plug that mic into the back of your computer.

4. use the exotic program 'sound recorder' to make 20 seconds of vocals.

5. hope that your verses aren't any longer than 20 seconds.

6. go from making techno, to industrial, to electro, to experimental prose, to indie-hop, to ambiance, to metal, and finally to folk, where your heart always belonged to begin with you fool.

7. accept that not having any chords on 20+ homemade songs is sad.

8. find musicans that can change this, but make them play by your rules.

9. hope that, after almost 3 years, you'll finally release an album.
