hey!! you!!! <3 this is the official tobin's plans for music updates post!! anxiously awaited i know. anyways...
first big news:
I AM DONE WRITING POLARIS!!!!
crazy i know. polaris was essientially written just to see if i even could write an album. it was also specifically written to sound good sung live to an accoustic guitar (or occasional ukulele) so i wouldn't have to learn production and could just learn to write music. and i think it's pretty alright for a first attempt at writing music (and making a cohesive album).
however, when i sit down to write music currently, i can't do it within the constraint of that album. which at first i thought was writer's block, but i've recently realized is actually just because... polaris is done. i have nothing more to write for that project. nothing more to add to that story. which is fucking awesome. i wrote an album. that's so cool??
so now...
what's going to happen with polaris?
the plan is to record each song a little more professionally than the demos posted on tumblr, get some sort of album cover and name to release the songs under, and put them onto youtube. probably soundcloud also, and maybe bandcamp (i've heard about it but never used it myself), but not spotify or apple music or anything like that.
the timeline for this is vaguely "sometime in 2022" at the moment, but will likely come before that (i like to set the bar low and pleasantly surprise myself). the songs that aren't linked in the polaris masterpost probably won't be shared until i release them on youtube simply because i'm lazy.
polaris aside...
what comes next?
now that i know i CAN write music (and how to), it's time to learn production (and get things like a mic LMAOOO)
polaris's style (music, type of lyrics, the way i handled the album) were very much inspired by the album give me a minute by lizzy mcalpine. the next style of music i really want to conquer is that of the album you and your friends by peach pit.
if all goes according to plan, that will be recorded slightly more professionally, hopefully with more professional equipment (though still out of my bedroom :pensive:). not trying to jinx it but my hope is for that album to be put under a different name and on spotify/apple music/etc, not just youtube and soundcloud etc.
in conclusion,
i am SO hyped to see where my music goes. thank you to everyone who's supported polaris the past few months, im glad you guys have enjoyed it :D excited to put it on youtube and be done with it tho lmao i have greener pastures to attend to
[quick note: feel free to send me asks for clarification, or just about my music in general! i'm more than happy to answer questions. have a lovely day!]
