Yeah 😁 I decided to use ProTools for it. Cause I'm fancy like that.

Garageband is a great program though 😎 I recommend any beginners to try it out.

🤣 I can't believe they actually say that. They obviously don't know you that much.

Anyway, going to listen to this album soon. I am very excited.

It was written/recorded with Garageband, and the final mastering was done in Pro Tools (by Hayden Who).

Though, due to bone-headed recording mistakes I made, it's not very loud in general, but that makes the differences in volume even more staggering.

You should've seen the original version I gave Hayden. It was creepily dynamic, to the point where Hayden forced me to tone it down :P

On second listen, I enjoyed the contrast between the super lofi parts and the cleaner parts.

Thanks, Man. I always enjoy dynamics in music, and I wanted this album to be really extreme.

Actually, ever since I started Charlie N. George, I've never tried to make any of my stuff avant-garde. That's just:
a. The kind of music I often enjoy
And
b. The kind of music I'm good at making (since I suck at songwriting, and don't know a lick of music theory)

As I said, my biggest influences were DJ Shadow, Electric Wizard, and Vanilla Fudge, so I think I'm pretty mainstream.

Yep.

I do take ADD medication, though, but that does the opposite 😜

Downloading it now,to be honest it sounds like something that I'd normally stay miles away from.

Hipster cred yay!

Sounds good, although at times it came off as uncohesive, but I'm guessing that's what you went for. As with any album of this kind, I need to listen to it a couple more times before I'm sure of what I think, but first listen was good. I liked Agalloch Scout Eagle the most. Sometimes, the avant-gardiness seemed too forced to me, though.

I'll come back later after another listen.

Congrats on a solid album.
