How the Album Was Made
From a production standpoint, this was all new territory for me.
Most of the album was created using gear from Teenage Engineering, primarily the OP-XY and the TX-6. I used Cubasis 3 on the iPad for polishing and arrangement, and I went back and forth between WaveEditor and Caustic for the final mastering touches on Android.
The Family Portrait
This was my first time producing a full album, and definitely my first time learning how to mix and master across an entire project with consistency. I learned a lot through trial, error, and repetition, and I genuinely enjoyed the process more than I expected.
What you hear on the album is the result of that learning curve.
About My Sound
I don’t have any formal meditation credentials, and I’m not claiming to.
However, I do have is a strong sense of what I like to listen to when I need to calm down. Peaceful instrumentals, gentle pacing, sounds that don’t demand attention but support it. Meditative Dreams is simply my interpretation of that feeling.
That said, I hope I succeeded in calming my listeners down! My album will be released on 2/13! You can pre-save for Spotify here:
