This song, "Blanket Rhymes," comes from an album I recorded and completed around mid to late December of 2023 and released in January 2024. This song was inspired by the work of Hypnaogic Pop artists such as Dean Blunt, John Maus, and James Ferraro. The instruments used were an Acoustic Guitar and a Roland JD-XI, which is an analog-digital hybrid synthesizer. I hope you all enjoy it.more

The story of this song: I had initially released “Move On” on my YouTube channel and streaming services. I didn’t initially know what I wanted to do with it. I thought about pitching it to a few of my friends to see if they wanted to record it. Albeit, I never asked, so I just released my own version. I thought the reception was rather positive, but there were things I was unsure about in the first version. I randomly ran across Nash’s YouTube channel right after I released the song. I commented on one of his videos saying that I was impressed with some Beatles covers he had released. In return, he found my video of “Move On,” and he was apparently impressed with it. However, like me, he heard more that could be added to make it more “complete.” After we had chatted for a while, he randomly sent me some harmony vocals on top of my original mix of it. My jaw dropped: THAT was the missing piece to the puzzle! My harmonies weren’t prolific enough to “fill in” the song. So, I asked if he wanted to remix it with my original multitracks and add some more harmonies. It turns out he also added a new guitar solo, some random assorted guitar licks, and some strings in the intro. I also sent him over a MIDI version of my original piano intro that I had scrapped and a recording of my Yamaha digital piano’s harpsichord setting of the same intro. Nash’s final mix was literal perfection in my book! He also took the photo on 35 mm film and designed the cover art! I can’t wait for you all to hear this new version of “Move On” that is the truest to my original vision of it. This is the epitome of how like-minded music collaborators can bring each other’s songs to life! more
