Posterity by Collar John

all future generations of people, the descendants of a person.

"i'm at something of a crossroads" - walter white

my works are plots in spacetime. i look at my discography in bandcamp and it's a portrait of my life up until now from when i started making music.

it started building steam in one place and took flight all over the southwest and some far out places in between.

it shows the birth of collar, from the building of the indelible bridge to Collar John Type Beats, bookmarked by A New End, where my sound was bred in the desert.

to embracing someplace new and producing some of my greatest work with a frequent output.

all these tapes only took months to have a grip of lovely tracks i could listen to on a walk.

this piece took about a year because i transitioned and leveled up my drive, but away from beats.

the first track was the longest time in between beats since i started production in... 2013 or 2014 or something. i wrote this in slack: "this the longest ive gone without making a beat in 5 years damn near shed a tear scrolling down the projects to confirm the time"

the source was a track named Ndudzo by Steve Dyer on a record called Confluence... please go peep it.

Confluence: "the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width.
"here at the confluence of the Laramie and North Platte Rivers"
Similar:
convergence
meeting
junction
joining
conflux
watersmeet
sangam
an act or process of merging.
'a major confluence of the world's financial markets'"

when that track hit me i realized that i really was at a new chapter in my time, and it made me emotional. i'm proud of where i'm headed, and stoked to see the killer i'm going to make out of myself, knowing that a new wave of feelings will preside over these points in spacetime that i get to conduit through me on an old ASUS and the first version of Maschine hardware.

thank you so much for reading
