In 2008, I was inspired to start writing music and poetry again after not doing so for a bunch of years. A year later the creative juices were still flowing nicely and I decided to challenge myself further and write and record an entire album. With no plans to go to a recording studio, I knew from the start that this would be a lo-fi affair. I liked the idea of doing everything myself--writing, singing, playing every instrument, and learning how to record and mix every track using free Audacity software. It took over a year, and I really enjoyed and got into the experience. I made copies on CD and gave them to friends and family though, in all, very few people have heard this. The sound quality is murky but I'm proud of these songs that I recorded on an old laptop in my living room.
