In 2015, I had a strange musical experience many years before I knew anything at all about producing, but with a head full of music and a dream to be able to let all that out! To be honest, I can’t remember what I did with the instruments in this song, but I’m pretty sure I used some guitar and some electrical organ that I experimented with. The organ was a present from my wife and is long gone today. A few weeks before an interview in NYC that would get me into film school at NYU, I started making this song, “Soooo Good.” I struggled so hard with it that it made me ill with a throat infection, mainly because of the singing strain. The interview was held over Skype! For the next few weeks, I struggled with mixing it all together with some strange ideas I vaguely remember! But I remember I was so mad about everything I broke the audio port of my computer and the headphones! I released it, then shortly after, took it down with the idea it was terrible. I deleted the folder with everything in it. I must’ve since I didn’t find it anywhere. For almost ten years now, I thought that my judgment was horrible and that I really made a fool out of myself, so I have never dared to listen to it again and have always been afraid to make the same mistake of releasing something terrible. Well, I did listen to it, now in 2023. What happened is that I was moved by it, surprised that it actually was pretty cool, and fascinated by it and the ideas behind it! The mix was obviously experimental and made some considerable rookie mistakes, and I had to repair it a little bit, primarily by boosting the bass, and this was really the best I could do. I had only one heavily processed track that I mysteriously found in an iTunes folder. The rest is really how I made it. I’m sharing it with this story because it tells so much about my musical journey, starting somewhere so unbelievably difficult and far from where I’ve come today. I’m not scared to share this thing from my past now, creating the music I do today, and I regret that I treated it and myself so badly. It deserves to live! Keep on struggling, and soulful things always come out of it!
