Announcing My Lofi Project

A few years ago, I discovered Lofi hip hop, and it honestly blew my mind. Mellow and dreamy, like a half-forgotten childhood memory, it is music seen through a veil of vinyl crackle, ambient sounds, and equipment malfunctions. Most recordings of music try to pretend they aren’t recordings, and that nothing stands between the performer and listener. Lofi rejects this. The recording becomes an object unto itself, obscuring the performance behind layers of nostalgic noise. I’ve always had a love for Impressionist composers like Debussy, and in many ways, this is hip hop’s take on such symbolic and psychological leanings. In short, I felt irresistibly compelled to try my hand at the genre—and over a year later—I am finally ready to start releasing it!

As part of this new project, I am taking my online presence up to a new level. This means you’ll be able to find my music on streaming platforms and social media (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram etc.) much easier than before. My website will be at the center of it all. Whether it be music, videos, paintings, or blog posts — expect to find it here. If you’d like to follow my accounts, that would be pretty cool!
