Last month, during the rollout of "The Stars Shift Every Million Years" EP, I sent the album for review to my friends, a few of them being musicians with more experience and advertisement agency friends. While the reviews were lukewarm, they offered to help me in future projects, becoming a group of advisors.
While it means better production and overall sound, it also means that my output will become slower, and due to recent analysis and back-and-forth decisions, I decided to put more attention to my side-projects.
Don't get it wrong, I still will make music under the jioni name, I won't be as active as I used to be anymore. Please understand that this doesn't mean I will stop being part of the fandom; I've made my closest friends in this fandom, and it's been the community I call home for years. I won't retire my music made under "Jioni was here" from Spotify and Bandcamp; it will stay there for the foreseeable future.
And as for my new main project? Well, you will find them out soon. I know most of you won't follow me through this new path. But I'm still going to be thankful for your support.
The Dollar Store demos, more than a demo reel for producers, are proof of an upcoming project plan to release next year. Since we reached the tip-jar goal, the tape is now public for everyone to hear.
