Melted by Psysyn

Melted was a 6 month long experiment of mine. The goal was simple: starting from absolutely no musical or production knowledge or talent, how much could I improve my own musical capabilities over a period of 6 months? At first, I had planned to release an album comprised of my first 20 songs, but as I got better, the old ones became unbearable to listen to. So, I then decide to make an album titled Naloxone, but once I had produced 5 songs for that album, it became increasingly apparent that I would always come to eventually hate my old work, even from just a week prior. Finally, I had taken only my 2 favourite tracks from Nalaxone, and had transferred them over to what has now evolved into Melted. Out of all the songs I had produced within my 6 month time frame, I had only chosen 10 songs to be featured in the album, meaning I had scrapped somewhere around 30-40 unique songs.

Melted is largely centered around the consumption and abuse of the psychoactive drug Dextromethorphan, or DXM. Through it's use, I had gained inspiration in so many different ways, and it allowed me to take a more creative approach to the sound and feel of this album, and kept my motivation high throughout the 6 month period. There are a number of allusions to my DXM abuse within my lyrics, so keep your ears peeled ;)

The creation process of this album was an incredible learning experience, and even though it may not be perfect or extremely professional, I am still immensely proud of this debut album. So, I implore you to take this journey with me, and as always: Enjoy!

my weary soul will travel further and farther into the inevitable madness i crave so dearly
