The Sax Studio

I released an album under the band name "KRMA" in 2024, called The Willow Tree. The band didn’t work out, and I pulled the music from streaming services, leaving it on my SoundCloud and sound.xyz under my name instead. I listened to the album on a train journey a few weeks ago, and except for my vocals and guitar playing feeling very dated (yes, I believe I have improved that much), the songwriting is very solid – it is essentially a life’s work of songs condensed down into nine focused track...

I conceived this series in August of last year, inspired by my love for fantasy books. Initially, I planned it as a ten-song series with a large ensemble cast and intricate plot and character ideas. However, I completely forgot about the series for about six months, only revisiting it when I applied for a studio residency during this challenge (hint: I didn’t get it). The residency requested an interesting project idea, and for some reason, the only idea that came to mind was a “Ramayana-insp...

That's the current line in my song "So Wide Awake" one of the songs which I will release to break the "silence of May". This blog talks about the single - what needs changing, and what I like.

It's been a hot minute since my last entry, and a whole lot has happened. I am exceedingly thankful to those of you who have signed up to my newsletter so far, and this is a great way to just discuss my thoughts. But where to start?The Waste EPOverall in my opinion, my releases have been a resounding success. No they haven't blown up, No I haven't made any profit, no it hasn't lead me to any other opportunity i would otherwise not have had. BUT I put my music out there, and people liked it - ...

93 - Fortunate ladyThis song came out of nowhere, and I put sunglasses on for the lols. I really enjoyed my use of keyboard in this song, it really gave me that 70's feeling. I was inspired by deep purple for the instrumentation, Mark Knopfler for the vocals, and I tried to make the guitar solo's tone sound like "Owner of a lonely heart" by yes. You tell me if I achieved that. The lyrics are about a guy who falls in love with a certain film star after watching something about boats (hint, Jac...

I'm ill today. When I first started posting on FC, I talked about being productive while sick, and someone in the comments mentioned being "zooted up on pseudoephedrine"—well, that's me right now.Experimenting with LightingWhen I began this challenge, British weather meant it was dark by 4 PM, making my window useless as a light source. But as the weather improved, I found that using natural light made a noticeable difference in my videosUsing natural lightingThat said, I’m still a night owl,...

Day 1: Song 91 - "They Don’t Know What You Will Do"After being ill and listening to the audiobook of Daisy Jones & The Six all day, I had to rush to a play. Everything felt chaotic. I spent the afternoon trying to film a song, but nothing was working. Frustrated, I thought, "I’ll just do a quick acoustic song about my cat." While sorting out my passwords, I decided not to let the stress get to me. I started writing in Google Keep and ended up with a song I liked. In a frenzy, I completed it i...
