disc one (2025)
After the Sun Sets: Disc One (2025) contains samples of the Halo Reach Grunt Birthday Party Sound Effect, the McDonalds beep noise, the Walmart radio jingle, “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton (1980), “Hermeto Pascoal – Música da Lagoa” (Sinfonia do Alto Ribeira, 1985), South Park S2E3 (1998) , Nights: Journey of Dreams (2007), “Seasoned Dreams” by Beware of Clevo (1996), Super Mario 64 (1996), The ReviewTechUSA Intro (2012), “Spiky” by James Blake (2022), “Me and the Birds” by Duster (2000), “I Wanna Know” by Joe (1999), “Happy Pills” by s366 (2020), a song by Pascale Cheron (2024), “Eros and Apollo” by Studio Killers (2013), and “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” by Elvin Bishop (1975). These samples fall under fair use as they are transformative, but I wanted to give credit where credit’s due. Produced in Logic Pro with the Q-Sampler Plugin. Everything else, including the beats, the lyrics, and mastering was done by me. The cover art is a photo i took of a vandalized mural with post-processing. This is my first album with no features. Special thanks to Zee, Princeton, Ryan, Alp, and others for inspiring creative decisions.
