Key

Yes. Probably the biggest inspiration for the music and how it sounds. I used to write poetry as a kid and was almost published at one point. After I fell away from that, music was the next thing I wanted to try. I saw members here doing things with music that I thought was so cool. That's what pushed me to start #####, my previous noise project. After that, I just kept trying to do new things and eventually I began really really enjoying what I was doing. I don't think the sound I go for is anything unique or special but it's the type of music that again, let's me express how things feel in my head. Sort of a bridge between my problems with anxiety and depression and my love for music. I get some of the most satisfaction out of making a track and finding myself loving it more and more. I typically will listen to the tracks I make at least 3 to 4 times. Sometimes it's to decide if I wanna release it and other times I think of things I wanna add. My mental state definitely has had and continues to have a pretty prominent influence in my music.

I'm also a big fan of taking hikes and walks and when I'm out and about, I find a ton of inspiration. It could be simply looking at a batch of trees and thinking of how that particular area would sound, if that makes sense. I'm born and raised in Seattle so that's why you'll notice that I favor themes that have to do with cloudy and dark weather and forested areas. My Songs for the Living album is a pretty good example of this.

All in all, anxiety and depression give the most inspiration out of anything.
