“Adjacency” is essentially everything that happened during the making of “Atrophy.” Through the making of this…However not at the time was taken aback by all the learning and maturity I acquired in the the goal to being the musician I wanted to be…Or at least the one that I heard in my head, Anyway. This collection of songs were something that I was slightly unhappy with at the time. Some I felt had potential, But still was not quite the arrangements I was trying to manifest. They were more like happy accidents that I bypassed with a frantic disregard. Several months later after the last release I searched my hard drives to remind myself of what I had done or if I even liked any of it. I like to think of it like a photo album and seeing pictures of friends that you now missed or a stupid haircut you had. And as I listened, I found these tunes to have more fight in em than I previously thought. They were endearing and as important as the ‘then and now’ process was to me…I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to dust them off. These tracks span from 2009-to now. ‘Harp’ started out just as a little loop I made to see where a composition could go with only two chords; “Tryptych” was an accidental beat I made still while being very staunch about trying not to sound like a “beatmaker” And “Handcuffs 2” Was something new based off of another song of the same name in light of the recent events in Ferguson, MO. I think these tracks vary enough to where they can make a statement on their own as a whole and individually. They are all special to me and I hope you as a listener are able to get an experience out of these as much as the last release that inspired this. Enjoy.
