I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while, but what with the social anxiety and all that, even just talking openly into a webcam was kinda scary.

But I’ve suddenly heard this random talking point about “where have all the bands gone?” lately, and I wanted to share my thoughts.

The short version, I wanted nothing more than to be a part of my local scene, but was kind of gatekept out of it (and also the social anxiety didn’t help) and so switching to a DAW and going solo was my way of making music without needing to rely on help from uncooperative, closed-minded scenesters.

There are ways I could improve the sound quality if I do this again. I’d love to hype up some other obscure musicians I’ve stumbled upon through the internet, and I’ve always wanted to do a year-end list of my favourite albums.
