I spent some time designing my website today!
 
I remember when I used to browse the web all the time as a kid. I went on the websites for bands, TV channels, and movie franchises that I liked. I remember how much fun I would have navigating the web pages and reading the content that was available there.
 
Then, as we entered into the 2010s, websites started getting more maximalist and more complicated, before the pendulum swung back the other way to the minimalism and hidden menus that we have today.
 
I have a soft spot in my heart for the early 2000s, when web pages almost looked like they were designed for print. Here you'll find the spirit of that era of the internet. I know it's ugly from a modern perspective. That's part of the charm to me. Plus, you will get a sense of my personality and overall artistic ethos. I prefer to use timeless instruments, old recording and production techniques, and classic approaches to songwriting. I am not afraid to put in a modern twist here and there, so I'm not just cosplaying as something else or making backward-facing art. At the end of the day, I want my art to be universal and timeless. I think what it is is I just like to give myself limitations so that I can get creative within them.
