DOWN:



The soundtrack to a local art exhibition at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. This project came together pretty fast under a big time crunch, and in the midst of a lot of health issues. There was a lot of cut material once the final day to debut this live came about, and saying this all finished at the 11th hour would be a generous way of putting it, I was in fact, a little late myself showing up to the event (rest assured fashionably though) and one cassette tape in hand. I played the master tape for the rest of the evening as the show of burgeoning Cincinnati artist Vomiat ( www.instagram.com/vomiat ) began proper, and all sorts of people poured in. I flipped the tape myself every 40 minutes or so.

I wanted to finish putting together the scrapped material, and add additional recordings to the existing tracks as I had envisioned while working on them, but I eventually came around to the position that it was best to just release the music to the world as I had released it to the public already, flaws and all. I also have a lot of other music and projects that need to come out later this year, so best to keep moving for now, maybe some time in the future the deluxe version of DOWN will come to be and you all can hear what was in my head during this time in my life, but for now you will have to settle for hearing what was in that room that night.


Love you all. <3 Many good things in store. <3








¿Should I make a cassette release of this?
