beautiful damage by agrammeofsoma
Put simply, I'm 28 years old and I go through phases where art begins to lose its lustre and generally feels like parlour tricks. To combat it, every night for 7 days I wrote a new song. I didn't think too much, didn't edit too harshly, and tried not to question my ideas or my flow. I was finished edit and export by the 9th day.
The process resulted in a dark and pretty album of seven tracks inspired by seven themes: impermanence, patience, wabi-sabi, love, memory, nostalgia and masochism. Free as always, please take a copy.
Happy new year, my wonderful friends. I hope your 2014 is beautiful.
