Every year I take a drastically different approach in how I write music. From my notable alternative classics to gorgeous piano albums to avant-garde; every year is a new journey.
The first half of this year is all about my best acoustic songwriting skills, from sad emo songs to acoustic deathcore and all the in-betweens. And to finish off the year/potentially next year, two highly produced albums that are complete opposites of one another.
'We Were Nearly Lost Forever To The Sand Of Time': this is the ambient + dreamcore album I've slowly been working on. While it can be sad in a melancholy way, it also is an album about lost love, romance. This is something I cannot rush, because it means something entirely different to me. And if it takes 20 tracks to convey my ideas, so be it. It's a bit like finding a ray of sunshine through the shit of fuck life all, an album I only want to work on if it means putting my heart and soul into it.
Following that is an unnamed album that will be of a blackened deathcore sound and other metal subgenres. Every song written (so far) is incredible, and during a playtest with several other people, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. With already an album worth of music, I refuse to release this until it's as perfect as can be possible. It is worth waiting for this album given it is the first to show off my whistle tone screams.
I tend to play in a lot of different genres, because it helps me explore new soundscapes, and this year will be no different from my drastic ventures. You will find that if you listen to an album like Metamorphosis II and compare it to my unreleased 'SEE YOU IN HELL', there is such a drastic difference within the types of metal I write. And if you were to compare it with my much later unreleased album 'whatever.', you will notice a giant contrast in the songwriting and how I do my scream vocals.
Every album is my own journey into something different, and you'll find that will each acoustic album planned. This is my songwriting in its most raw state, the type of singer/songwriter vibe that got me into music in the first place. Except this time, I wanted to be a basis to get people into a highly technical style that slaps super hard. This is why if you listen to the piano for albums like 'SEE YOU IN HELL' and beyond, it's some of my most fierce and complex metal writing. This is the type of insane note shredding I enjoy, and it accentuates the intensity of my music perfectly.
It sets up everything perfectly for the next album idea. Which is why with 'whatever.' being my final acoustic album, it is songwriting bridge into this new maximalist album.
