Borrowing my kid's Casiotone for some ambient explorations. A lot of the sounds are pretty cheesy but...you know...cheese can be pretty good sometimes.

I wanted to be one of those musicians who shunned promotion

Maybe you wouldn't even know my identity.

Now, a bunch of my time is spent shilling on social media on a crowded Bandcamp Friday

I wasn't made for these times

But this album is

Out now

Oof! Just did my taxes. What a headache. For the relatively small sum of money I make from music, I certainly get a lot of 1099's, some with duplicate income.

Having school age kids helps though.

From the new album
Frostlines

Textures galore! Pretty, echoey, organic; and a dark-tinged trip-hop beat to boot. Eidolon perfectly encapsulates the immaculate patchwork of vibes that Time Rival is capable of engendering.

The spookiness fights the prettiness for domination over the vibes of the haunted but gorgeous piece The oppressive synths wash over you, drowning out the chugging yet delicate drums like a sunrise over intricate fields of ice
