One of my more minimalist/ambient pieces, made through a stream of consciousness....and synthesizers.
indie rock shoegaze acoustic ambient folk experimental avant garde postrock
A mixture of indie, rock, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, post rock, and instrumental.
Hey, i'm Jake, and these are some songs and demos I've made (usually by myself) over the past couple of years. I've been in quite a few bands throughout those years, and when I'm not playing, writing, or jamming with my friends and other musicians, i'm usually fiddling around with music on my own and recording random song ideas floating around in my head. I like to play and write stuff that falls into the categories of indie rock, alt-rock, shoegaze, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, jazz, and electronic (although I try to escape the confinements of genres as much as possible). I mainly play piano, keyboards, drums/percussion, and guitar, but I dabble in others like banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and kazoo. I'm obsessed with weird sounds, I guess you could say, and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to create sound via arrangements, effects, synths, happy accidents, etc. Although pretty much all of my posted songs are solo stuff, I enjoy making music much more in collaborative efforts, and am always on the lookout for any possible jam session. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
I actually had a happy accident here (well, happy for me): as I was mixing the song on Logic, the main repeating synth track seemed to be right on the edge of clipping in volume, so I managed to keep it under the clip meter while still keeping the appropriate volume. However, when I bounced it to an mp3, the compression to a smaller file must have sent the synth track's volume over the edge, and it came out clipping whenever the bass chord played. But in turn, the clipping made a new layer of sound that actually sounded like it was supposed to be there! So I kept it. Thus, the crackly noise you hear in the song.
