In July of 2024, I knew that I wanted to make an EP, or at least a project with more than one song on it. At that point, it was just a concept. And it stayed a concept for months. From July to September, I was making a drum loop each night before bed, making melodies to sounds I was working with for the first time, and jotting down lyrics in my notebook to go back to the morning after. There were countless nights creating and recreating, too many to count. This EP found itself in many iterations, numerous working titles and scrapped songs. But there was a period from October to December when all of the emotions I wanted to get across found itself in the music. It was nearing the end of 2024 and I realized that I was still in my twenties with not a clue about what I was doing or where I was going but I was doing... something. The constant revisions that I was originally doing started to turn matter of fact. There was no need to revise words and sounds that were subconscious and literal. I tend to get in my head about my art and I don't think that will ever change. But what I can do for now is be honest in my creations, take a step back, and remind myself that I should live life for the same reason why I make music: because there's joy in it.
