studio sessions by greystar

In the past few years I've started singing in my music as a means of emotional release. Often late at night, I would have long sessions experimenting with my synths, drum machines and my prized korg sp-250 keyboard that I've had since I was 8. It has been a huge developmental period for me, to finally have a proper studio space, interconnecting the analog gear I've accumulated over the years to create an environment where I can improvise freely, and to spontaneously come up with vocals, lyrics derived from journal entries and inspired by my life events. I value the intimacy and vulnerability of these recordings, and I hope you will too.

This is a collection of my studio sessions over the last few years, highly condensed from longform improvised takes, edited down into a cohesive album. A few of these songs are demos and outtakes that have since evolved into fully-produced works for my upcoming album hopscotch. Yes, I'm still working on it.

Thank you to those who have inspired me, and those who have passed. Arthur Russell, SOPHIE, Elliott Smith, Walias Band, Dean Blunt, and Avey Tare.
