About Me

A musical project about sonic experimentation and pushing the borders of music. The blotter project started of as fooling around and improvisation in a bedroom studio of Jimmy Watts. Three tracks were created in three nights by simply hitting record and improvising and the results were enough to create a EP. Since then the blotter project has been working on refining and polishing our sound based off that EP. The band currently and has only ever consisted of one member, Jimmy Watts.

Special thanks to Daniel Obradovich and Richard Gailer for their support and listening to crappy music I send them :) I also want to thank Ryan and the Brown Ties for teaching me what I know about reggae hahaha. As well as to my dear friend Pascal for his support and Mikey G OneTyme for his help.
