LINK TO THE MIXTAPE:
I was feeling pretty creatively tapped at the beginning of this semester, I wasn't having many ideas and felt pretty disillusioned and depressed. I was, however, making music and had recently begun fucking around trying to rap for fun. For the first project I decided to put together a Mixtape full of songs both old and new, and create an album cover for this mixtape. This would be the debut of me and my cousin's rap superstar career. I also put a lot of effort into the album art, and it is in such a high resolution i can't upload it anywhere. I attached a screenshot, anyways. In the album art I mention feeling disillusioned and strung out, which was very much true. I was also getting really nerdy about old computers, and old music production software from the 90's and the idea of music being stored on a flash drive was very funny to me. I also have a bit where I ramble about being in love with billie eyelash and how she's sending messages through her music and that she's in love with me too. I've met a couple people who were delusional about celebrities "sliding in they DM's" and one of them believed billie eyelash was writing songs about him. I find this concept very funny, and also very alarming. I decided to incorporate it because it felt funny to me, and also I was feeling a little insane at the time, not that I thought Billie Eyelash was in love with me, but I did feel like i was checked out of life. I have, since this project, developed a nasty affinity for Casette tapes. I plan on, at some point in the near future, recording my own casette tapes, and this may very well be the first one I record. Why cassette tapes? Stupid answer. Novelty. Also, they can sound good, it is possible, but usually not so much.
