about

This project was a New Years Resolution I made to myself on 1.1.20. I intend to write one song a week for a year. After completing my goal on NYE 12.31.20 I had nearly 50 songs, 35 of which make up this collection.

I attempted to get out of my own way and bottle the little moments that sometimes pass through and never get used. Some of these songs are simple doodles and some grew into larger productions. Either way, each song was written and recorded in seven days time and posted to youtube at the end of each week.

I never intend to officially release any of these, as they were just a creative writing exercise. However, after the crazy year we had I thought it'd be nice to release them. A peek into 2020 through my eyes, a musical diary, of sorts.

Thanks for listening, stay safe!

Ryan
