2025 was a record year for this site. Over the past twelve months, it has received about 72,000 page views -- which is almost equal to the seven years prior combined.
As a completely independent one-man-band whose only form of self-promotion is this blog, I am amazed that so many people have tuned in to what I am doing.
Listeners from the US, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Vietnam, Netherlands,
Singapore, and dozens of other countries around the world have come here
to learn more about my music.
I am humbled by your support. Thank you.
To all of my fans, casual listeners, and people who randomly stumbled upon this site: I hope that the new year will be the best of your life so far.
Thank you for your continued support of independent art.
I played all of the basslines on a baritone or keyboard and all of the drums in Garageband. The guitars are a telecaster for the flavor and a semi-hollowbody for the buttery mids.
It took six self-produced albums to figure out how to properly use the EQ in the mixing process. I tried to carve out frequencies for each component of the music. Heighten the key parts and drop the adjacent ranges to intensify the contrast and sharpen the clarity.
Every album presents new opportunities to better figure out what I'm doing. Such are the joys of doing it myself.
