about

One year ago, I set out to make a 15-track instrumental album within my week-long vacation to Michigan.

You can learn more about & listen to that here: silvermediaproductions.bandcamp.com/album/michigan-project-4

Since the events that lead up to me creating my first Michigan album, I've acquired a new laptop, midi keyboard, microphone, & guitar amp. When it came time to get ready to leave for this year's Michigan trip, I decided to bring along the laptop & midi keyboard. My goal with this album was to expand upon the instrumental & thematic variety of last year's album, as well as having some element of improvisation in every track. Needless to say, I think I have achieved this goal.

Rather than working on an ancient iPod's garageband, the production for this album was all done in a linux midi editor called Rosegarden, which gave me much more freedom to experiment with different instruments than iOS Garageband ever could. This year's album uses a total of 3 different soundfonts, & brings in instruments that were absent from last year's album, such as brass & steel drums.

Overall, this album is definitely an improvement on last year's installment, but feel free to listen to last year's as well for comparison.

Also, if you download this album, you get my cover of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" using the instruments from track 3 (6AM). ;)
