OK I WENT AND SCANNED THE ZINE I MADE AND... here are most of the pages - so every middle "spread" has one left and right page on the back of it and then a bigger pic once its unfolded, but didnt include every side for every larger spread.

this basically explores a bit of folke and adrian's relationship - adrian, the Creature, ends up finding folke's brother's recently deceased corpse and imitates his appearence, the only real way for a basilisk in their world to learn to shapeshift into something.

So their relationship is a bit complicated. but also, it ends up eventually settling into something that isnt only full of bitterness...

been a while, huh?

hi tumblr dot com i forgot you existed

here's some scraps n demos n whatnot i've made over the past few weeks

this one was the result of listening to nothing but soukous for like a week straight and trying to put my own spin on it

vocal recording test. trying to build up confidence to sing more. i'll get there eventually.

see title. making beats is fun :D

i will try and remember to post more often (considering this is the only social media i have besides youtube) because throwing my work into the great chasm of the internet is more productive that having it rot on a hard drive in a drawer somewhere i guess

got some neat stuff in the pipeline for y'all, stay tuned ;)

bye now

record rambling pt 1/whatever

this weekend i found a really neat soukous record from the ivory coast at a record store so i thought i’d share a little clip with you. african records are notoriously hard to find in good condition so be mindful of clicks and pops. that’s all part of the charm though, isn’t it?

#soukous #african music #vinyl records #record collection #i just realized i don’t have a tag set up for record stuff #my bad #will’s record rambles

an update

hey y'all, i just released an album's worth of music i've been making for fun the past few months. it's on youtube, soundcloud and bandcamp. i've been working up the confidence to post this little compilation for a while and i feel pretty good about how it turned out! it's below if you want to take a listen.

with that in mind, i think it'd be wise to inform those of you who follow me for my writing that i'll be shifting the overall focus of this blog away from that and more towards my original music. i've made music for fun basically my entire life and as of late i've found it much more rewarding than writing poetry or fiction. that doesn't mean i won't be writing as well; i just probably won't post it here unless i feel very good about it.

the wav tag is still gonna be the place for my original music, and the txt tag is going to encompass all kinds of writing now, not just poetry. real trap shit is eternal.

if that still sounds good to you, then great! i'd love to have you along for the ride. if not, i completely understand. i'll keep this pinned for a couple of days so the info doesn't get buried in whatever dumb shit i reblog later.

i have a good amount of music on the back burner and would love to get a proper album (not just a beat tape) out by the end of the year, so stay tuned! i wouldn't have gained the confidence to post this stuff without the support of my friends and the support i've received on here. from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

stay frosty y'all

i get lost a lot. i am good at many things, but none are related to direction. these days, sign posts on trails sometimes have QR codes on them. i think about that a lot. after us, will aliens find these little shapes and say - this was religious.

in 50 years, will QR codes be completely out-of-date, so young kids are used to seeing the shape but just assume it means something else; like how floppy discs mean save. looking up at us with their brows knit. what do you mean you had to scan it?

i think a lot about how if i had been born even 50 years ago, i'd be dead by now. there are a lot of reasons for that. i can read a map pretty well, but that sense-of-direction thing will really getcha. i usually wayfind by pulling up my phone's compass. there's something so odd about that - about using something like a smartphone to figure out my cardinal direction. to figure out which way is home.

for a long time, i didn't have a smart phone. whenever we went to places that required a QR code, i'd just have to shift uncomfortably, waiting for someone else's page to load. not to sound like an old grump but - these days it feels like half my world is behind scan this or register with your email to sign-in or sign up for our listing or click the link.

i think a lot about the digital detritus we leave behind. about how different the world looks, literally, than in the 90's. how much waste has become things like laptops, chargers, wires. i think about the drones over city; flying in the shape of an advertisement. i think about graves. my grandmother's had a trademark on it.

in the middle of the woods, someone had put up a jesus is risen laminated poster. it had an underwater turtle on it, which i thought was funny. i took a picture for my group chat. he rises from the deep i guess i send them. the signpost was unhelpful - inconclusive arrow, jesus turtle poster. no map. i pulled up my compass, which is to say i took out my phone.

i wonder how much is waste we're making and how much is just making our mark. at some point, all my writing - this post and all the others - will be left, floating around on the internet. it will all outlive everyone who created any of it. every fic and overly-personal recipe and idle drawing and abandoned webcomic and sanctimonious twitter post.

i hope they are all living in the same place. i hope they get along. i hope they never feel alone.

i hope somewhere out there on the internet, someone or something finds something i left and says - oh. so that's how i get home.

hi i’m will i’m 21 i’m a guy i like music. it’s all i think about. i make it too, sometimes. i post it here if i feel like it. i also like scribbling words on paper and eating them.

i also collect records. many records. do not ask me about my records. i will not stop talking about them if provoked. i have autism. can you tell?

i archive any records i have that aren’t available online here. if you want to know what else is in my collection then my discogs page is here.

other things i enjoy to an unhealthy degree:

weird old videogames

flea markets

nascar

birds

money

hamburger

i dump my trash all over the internet. here's a few other sites where you can find me:

youtube channel || soundcloud || bandcamp

stick around if you like. or don’t. you’re (presumably) a human being with free will. who am i to stop you? just don’t slam the door on the way out.
