I’m definitely gonna keep making my usual dark slutty music, but I started experimenting with digital strings and learning more about composing classical music a while back and got inspired to make this project.

This whole EP / Mini Album was inspired by the idea of what it might sound like if a vampire that’s been around for a thousand years, made music.

So I started off by combined synthesized classical music elements like cello, violin & piano and then mixed that with more jarring, clashing industrial sounds, also taking inspiration from 90s vampire movies, 90s industrial and experimental music. 

The overall sonics of this project shift through calming, dramatic, raw indie DIY style to jarring, defiant and aggressive & unfinished sounding moments. 

This project was a really fun experiment, and after learning a bit more about writing classical music digitally, and all of the different styles & meanings for string instruments, I definitely feel like I’m gonna experiment more with strings.

Vinyl Records & CDs are also Available
