Song Studies III (February 2023): Remastered Selections from "Everything's amazing, but then again couldn't be worse"
Released March 3, 2023
Album Context:
The 2009 MacBook I had been using for all these years to make music was really quite horrible. I was running GarageBand 5.1 (epic) and really harnessing this DIY feel, but it would constantly crash and take 30 tries to export a song without little sonic glitches because there wasn't enough memory to process the instruments and plug-ins. But now I finally got a new laptop, and with this increased power comes the ability to make songs sound better (or at the very least export songs efficiently). So I took some of the fav tracks from my 2022 album "Everything's amazing, but then again couldn't be worse," transferred them onto the new computer, and did a lil remixing & remastering.They sound a bit better, but also this was a nice exercise in getting acclimated to the new machine. We love technology, folks!
This is part of an ongoing effort of publishing "artistic studies" EPs to chronicle and humanize my artistic process in between albums.
