The set of material you're about to hear is, as mentioned, from a band I formed after moving to southern california. It's one of, like, three Twinkle Park songs with a verse-chorus structure, that's weird! I love this track though, I hadn't heard it very much since I finished it, and I'm impressed by how different it is from the material I was writing at the time. Technically it was written as I was writing the material that actually wound up on Never The Same, but the demos in that batch of songs are much older, and most of the B-sides from my subsequent material wound up getting repurposed or wasn't close enough to being finished to carve out a spot for them, so I couldn't put it there. It's been long enough now that I'm fairly certain continuing to try to retrofit it into releases will remain fruitless, although funnily enough it also doesn't really fit with any of the other sets of songs here. I feel like it'd be way too much to take in all at once.Īs for that first song you just heard, it was written in early 2018, but just never fit on any subsequent release despite being pretty finished when I went back in and gave it vocals in 2019 as I was writing for As Much As I Forget. I cannot imagine listening to this entire thing in one sitting, and I'm familiar with these tracks. I'd also recommend you take this in chunks. Personally, I have a rough idea of how I'd present an album's worth of the material in here if I were to have done so, but I don't want to influence expectations much. Because everything I release is pay what you want, I urge you to give this release a download, and to maybe, just, organize the songs you like and construct a more reasonable, concise playlist. This is a long compilation, I think the songs themselves clock in at over 2 hours, and these interludes are going to make that even longer. Lastly, a "lost EP" if you will, of material that was recorded by a friend, who helped out in many other areas of its development.

After that, my formerly offline debut EP, "Orange", as well as three early demos from before its conception. Then, outtakes from my EP "Never The Same Again, Thank Goodness", which vary in completeness from "sketch" to "nearly completed". After that are the soundtracks to three games I composed for. Note that these don't include many of the songs that play during the end card sequences, those are demos for future completed releases of mine. Following that are songs I wrote for Youtube videos of mine.
The next are a sampling of the commissions I wrote as a secondary source of income over the course of a few years. Up next immediately are songs I wrote for a band I was in called Living Room Ghost, all but one of these haven't seen the light of day until now. Essentially, it goes in reverse chronological order, but with some exceptions. And be sure to check the credits down below the track listing.īefore I talk about the song you just heard and the batch of songs you're about to hear I wanted to give a brief overview of this collection as a whole. If you'd rather read along to my notes as you listen to this release, I've included them in text form in the "lyrics" section of each of these interlude tracks.
I decided to break up some of the tracks with interludes like the one you're hearing now because without them, the lack of context would make this pretty indigestible, and the variation in quality would be disorienting. It just sort of felt right, given the song's title.
Its name, "Connections and Feelings", is a lyric taken from the Popcatcher song, A Rough Draft (Copy). As the description states, this is a compilation of old, hard to find, unfinished, et cetera, music I've written in the time I've been writing, from 2014 through now. Hi, thanks so much for listening to this collection.
