“just go” was born because I WAS TIRED. (tired of waiting. tired of wishing. tired of thinking about music in the abstract.) i wanted to make something, and i wanted to make it in my own time. i wanted the freedom to sing the same line six-hundred-and-fifty-two times without a studio bill. i wanted something---anything---to which i could point and say: “i did that; that’s my work.” so, i started recording in my bedroom...on garageband. i am not a pc.
the initial idea was to pair jazz standards with hip hop beats. simple. BUT it almost didn’t see the light of day because i didn’t take the idea seriously when it came to me. many thanks to my best good friend for saving the idea from its impending death.
after the rescue, i proudly took my place as the modern day chuck woolery, matchmaking in a ninja-like fashion. "Lyrics, I'd like you to meet Beats. Beats, this is my friend Lyrics." they’re unlikely pairs but they work.
and there you have it---my first project. i’m a baby in this music game and i definitely look forward to adding more notches to the kitchen wall. my EP is next! excitingville.
btw, it would make my WHOLE day if you sent me a message--a hello, a goodbye, an i-love-you, a question, you can tell me how much you like my purple beard--whatever you like. just leave me a little something. i’d love to hear from you.
