“My favorite place”
Spring 2025
Audacity
I decided to capture a day spent locked away in my room composing. I wanted to highlight the little things I usually try to avoid while recording—like the city noise, the squeaky chair, the clicking of mouse and keyboard, the metronome ticking, and the brush of the microphone. It starts with the sound of the guitar being tuned and a door closing, marking the moment I shut myself off from the world. Then, you’ll hear the sound of a pencil on paper, the way I prefer to write lyrics. The song playing is a draft of one of my own, which I’ve chopped up to mimic the process of adding and removing effects as I edit the demo. Welcome to my favorite place in the world!
