gone again by KAYA KO published on 2022-11-25T07:21:57Z "start somewhere" is a sweet and special piece that is, although old, still close to my heart. I made this project between April and June, when I first started studying at sae institute in north van. An endearing and authentic body of work, this demo ep is like a portal into the past. Nostalgic and light-hearted with earnest poetics and soulful melodies. start somewhere is exactly what it sounds like, a landmark, a gateway sitting somewhere near the beginning of my journey into audio engineering and music production. This is my FIRST multiple-track, self-produced, entirely self engineered project to hit the stream waves... It's been a long time coming but this is still a very exciting moment for me. :) On the journey of making these songs, I didn't properly save my files while transferring from the school computer onto my hard drive. Sadly, my stems were lost, rendering me unable to properly dial in the mixes of each track. After holding on, and hoarding these songs for long enough, tortured by my inability to "fix" them, I've decided to put them out as is. I've added as much love and attention as I presently can to each track and I hope you can feel it when you're listening... Allowing myself the space to put out something that I'm not 100% satisfied with is a practice in embracing imperfection and life's constant reminder to allow things to be as they are. I relinquish myself from the clutches of perfectionism and release my inner critic towards details that the average listener will never fixate upon. It's all about the feeling with this one, so let me know how it lands. Love you all. Thank you. Bless. ~ kaya ko Genre Indie
