Oh, That I Might Create a Singular Thing

Yeah. I failed. Set out to make one singular thing and made another.

One Thing

When I started composing “singularity“, I imagined that each piece would only use one singular instrument. Well, what can I say? I’m a complicated person, so I sometimes create complicated music.

Sure enough, within a day or two, I was making excuses for why the first track and then the second one needed another sound. In the end, only one piece on this album uses a single instrument.

Win and Lose Some

Meanwhile, I also set out to make this album entirely using “patches” that I created myself. When we musicians sit down at a synthesizer or other instrument, the configuration that defines the sound is called a patch. And yes, in this case, I had determined that I would only use patches built by me.

Success! Yes. A singular achievement. In this case, I did what I set out to do. Every one of the sounds on these ten tracks was created by me. I’m actually quite proud of this, but may not do it again. It’s a lot of work.

The Singular Thing

Anyway, the album is done. As of this writing, it’s on all of the musician-based platforms. (By that, I mean the ones that claim to put musicians first and then don’t make that claim entirely unbelievable by their actions.)

I hope you’ll take a moment to listen. This album may not be for everyone, but perhaps it will appeal to you.

Oh, and if these platforms are not your thing, look for it on the streaming radios.
