Pain
One of the most painful parts of creating a new album is post-production. The creativity shifts to another mode which can be fun, but also feels extremely tedious in practice. My ears become my worst enemy in so many ways as the physical fatigue of listening over and over again begins to take hold. This…

Immanence, an Update on the New Album
