FLUTTER

Packing up and moving yourself halfway across the country to a city and neighborhood where you know no one only to find that three weeks after you’ve unpacked your last box you’re instantly thrust into a lockdown that confuses and panics the world can cause great anxiety. Anxiety on a global scale; a collective feeling. Living each day on repeat and watching the events unfold over what has become a year-long shift in existence spurred a search to take care of my mental state and find a way to drop into the Now as often as possible.

Creating and sharing music from that space is honest and therapeutic. It’s one of the things that brings me effortless joy. Pushing myself to do something positive in the midst of chaos has been a gift to myself and I hope that it may help you find some peace as well. Remember to breathe in and breathe out. You’re already where you need to be.

𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 is special. It’s a four track collection of meditative pieces designed for your ambient listening pleasures: working, reading, studying, and of course zoning out. Recorded during the summer months of quarantine and during the creation of “𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢.” Featuring heavy usage of stretched textures, delicate pianos, and undulating synths - 𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 is a moody cinematic dreamscape. ⁣

Released on Inner Ocean Records.
