I began the creation of this EP with the intention to collaborate and involve as many featured artists as possible. The reason for this is that as much as I love listening and making music, I find it even more enjoyable when I am doing with other creatives.
This EP begins with two instrumentals, representing a more mellow and relaxed part of my life. Leading into more experimental style songs. I have only ever mixed live recordings before (

I felt that I’d like to expand my skills and experiment making some music with more of the DAW involved. So I set forth using a combination of electronic beats, synths and auto-tune alongside live guitar recordings. Creating the next three songs using these skills.
‘Nostalgia trip’ is the only track without a feature. I didn’t do this intentionally at the start, however, as the song started to develop I felt as though it was a more personal song and that it didn’t need a feature.
The final song was created by layering parts of one of my favourite live recordings (recorded through my phone at a house party). After receiving permission from the band members playing in the song I chose to place this mixed recording on the end of the EP. I also chose to make the song exactly one minute to match the song title.
