Music on Spotify: Artificial Colours

Hi everyone,
A few months ago I was lucky enough to discover that an old friend of mine was keen to record some cool tunes just for fun. I'd been playing around with music making and writing lyrics for a long time so it was interesting to get a real musician on board.
All together we made 10 tracks (3 being interludes). While we may enjoy some more than others, it was really a wonderful experience and sparked some real creativity for us both.

The thing I love most about music is the diary of time it can keep in the lyrics. I'll never feel exactly the same as when I wrote the lyrics for each one of these songs. So that makes each one a personal experience locked in music forever. With that, it's so fun to make tunes and really build the sound with my friend, Daniel Symons. who brought ideas, vocals, mixing and some showstopping Trombone.

It also gave us the opportunity to find collaborators to make the tracks feel more vibrant. Overall it was an exciting and somewhat emotional experience. And there was a lot of pizza.

One of those collaborators then went on to design our cover, which you can see below.
