“Existential Dan Music”
~ R.I.P. dr_nothings (2013-2015) ~ I'm moving to Japan to teach English for a few years. I will probably make music while I am there but I do not intend to release any of it. these songs feel a bit like headstones to me, my creative process is such a weird ongoing learning experience and despite the good times I've had putting out dr_nothings stuff it feels like I'm ready for a change-up. I have been in the habit this past year or so of publishing whatever songs I finish, as this bandcamp page will attest to: 'sad robot' was like my synthpop maiden voyage, 'dæmonology' and 'witness' were exercises in songwriting as well as recording rock instruments; then there's this last E.P. which I think of as a kind of spiritual successor to 'sad robot' but with more autotune and Ableton magic in retrospect, however, dr_nothings feels to me more like a series of published workbook exercises than full-fledged "statements" of anything. like you know when you think your mixtape is fire but then two years of your life go by and you realize it sucked? I have that feeling every time I put music on the internet. usually once I'm uploading it, I already hate it, and have moved on to "the next shit," whatever that may mean so I'm cutting myself off. I have so much to learn about my own voice and I think the most effective and authentic way for me to do so is to become more reticent w/r to my public output. I'll leave the bandcamp and soundcloud up but probably won't be updating them anytime soon in any case, enjoy the tunes, stay in touch, and I'll see you on the other side! <3 ~ dr ~ <3
n case u missed it
also FYI James Plunkett is a real human who makes incredible music: https://soundcloud.com/dr-nothings/for-james-plunkett
the lyrics of this song are based on a poem he wrote in a book one time
Huzzah! A brand, grand new mixtape from FOOD! Featuring a track from yours truly! It’s gonna be sick! All you have to do is press play!
SO
there’s a song coming out soon with my name on it and it’s all thanks to my wonderful friends at FOOD COLLECTIVE 3 cheers for music + friends
I’ve also been working on a dr_nothings EP that’s building on the Sad Robot stuff I put out last year, less strummy more bleep-bloop-y
it’s likely that’ll be the end of that moniker, actually. man am I good at starting a thing, putting out a little bit of music, then retiring that thing
