this ep really has been a terribly long journey, and in the spirit of making this a completely independent, purely creative venture, i took it upon myself to work on every single facet of the album, from writing to arranging, from recording to post-editing, from production to distribution; perhaps one of many poor choices i’ve made in my youth. in the process, it’s been countless late nights spent writing, recording, producing and panicking, and generally trying to meet impossible deadlines i had somehow decided to inflict on myself way back in 2013 whilst in a dangerously ambitious state.

i’m definitely still learning and growing as an artist, and my music is definitely far from perfect, but hopefully this collection of songs is a reflection of my inability to fit in boxes, and kind of breaks the genre of acoustic indie folk/pop with lush chords, breakbeat rhythms, pulsating dub bass, beatboxing, and other geeky stuff. and hopefully, it also conveys some kind of brutal honesty and emotional depth people can relate to, about interpersonal relationships and how they’re so fragile and can break so easily.

thanks are due to everyone who has ever given my music even the slightest chance: old friends, unexpected friends, and new ones whom i’ve come to know in the course of my musical journey. special thanks go to Alvin Ho of Positron Productions for constant support since the conception of the ep, helping out with all manner of visual media, being a sounding board for unrealistic creative ideas, and helping make them possible. also, many thanks to jole for jamming sessions, always inspiring me with his immense passion and dedication to learning and playing guitar, and letting me use our fingerstyle outro on track 3. and of course, credit to my family for not disowning me when it was evident i wanted to do music. lastly, thank you so very much for obtaining this album legally or otherwise, and for listening to my music. i hope you like it.

more to come, and as always, extremely grateful for people.

much love,
