So I have been working on writing tons of songs, many scrapped and rewritten. But I will be taking some time off of writing for a bit.

My grandmother passed away this past Sunday night. She had been having issues before but was misdiagnosed with electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, or even told that it was in her head in a sense. This last hospital visit they found out she had a blood infection, several days later, still in the hospital, her already weak heart couldn't fight the infection anymore and stopped in her sleep.

The house will be so quiet without her. She was moved out of MICU to general medicine early that Sunday morning then moved to ICU later that day, for a little bit it seemed she would come back home then hours later she was gone.

She always liked my music and art. She liked my covers of Who Put the Bomp and Pretty Woman over on Bucket of Dragons (the songs are were removed by me before she passed). I'll miss seeing her "like" notifications when I post to my personal accounts.

As for music. I will be writing a song for her, may keep it private though, then take a break before going back to music again. I have tons of old songs I want to remake but now lack the equipment to so that will put me back a little bit too. But the old Almost Ichabod style of music will be coming back.

I want all who read this far to do me a favor. Tell someone you love that you love them. Because they can be gone like that.

I have been writing but I've been playing Genshin Impact more. But now that I've spent an ungodly amount of money and FINALLY got Klee I'm back to writing more. Still don't expect an album soon, I want it to be perfect,

I'm still working on music but I'm trying to work harder and make my songs perfect.

My goal comes with a small story. Summer of 2013, just after my grandfather passed away, Random Access Memories came out. That album, combined with my friends, created an unforgettable summer for me. The album brought us all so much joy and the summer felt endless that year. Things have changed since then and I will never have another summer like that again. What does this have to do with my goal? My goal is to create and unforgettable, magical, endless summer feeling, not for me but for others.

I always said "don't try to be like Daft Punk" to myself and so I only used them for inspiration. But what's wrong with being like them? What's wrong with creating a summer like that for other people? Nothing.

I suppose in writing this I feel I understand more why Daft Punk retired. Whether it takes a few albums or 100 I will make a grand time for others through music. Who's to say that wasn't their goal? What if RAM was what they wanted? Then after trying to do it again they realized they just couldn't top RAM?

I'm not trying to be better than them or anything, I just want to create for others.

This cover is an Almost Ichabod style cover, Not Bucket of Dragons. It will stay here on this profile. I'll give you a hint on what it is: it's an emo song.

Daft Punk, it was a fun ride. I just hope to be even a fraction of as great as you were. My music will forever be dedicated to your greatness.

1993 - 2021

I want to try something new, unfortunately it means not making music for a little bit as it requires me to sell my Audio Interface. I will be getting a new one with the money from this one, one with two channels. Hopefully everything will sell quickly and I can order the new one soon.

I think you smell like shit! No wait that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to say my new short album All These Crumpets is out now and available for purchase at my Band Camp (link in my bio). So go take a bath and listen to it!

Another cover at Bucket Of Dragons!
