This phrase could be an exaltation of the morning, a motto for a generally rosy existential outlook, or an an example offered as a reason to go on, but in this case, it is what I say every time I pull up to my daughter's apartment and her neighbor Sunshine is outside, smoking a cigarette by her fire pit.
SINCERELY JLY
I was into this oblong beat I'd made and wanted some sort of vocals. I thought about feeding it in to and AI to see what it gave me, but then I remembered I hate AI so I just opened my spam folder and copied the text out of the latest junk message into a text to speech and now, in writing this, am unsure if I won the fight or not.
ALMOST SOME BARELY
The songs for this Museumgoer release were born out of the fact that I moved my Rhodes piano home to have something to play at night and wanted to see what I could do without the resources of my studio, using only the piano, an electric guitar and the built in effects of my software. Though they are very loopy, no bridge kinda pieces, I feel they are some of the more melodic Museumgoer material in a while, despite being barely songs.
I'M WALKING HERE
The morning after I made this song, I listened to it while walking to get coffee and it felt idle and urgent at once, perfect for a stroll of relative idle privilege yet also headstrong enough to clear the path before me.
