“4:20” Q&A
-
What have the artists said about the album?
I have always had this idea that I wanted to release my own music on the date 4/20. Without my usual musical collaborators, I used the self-isolating experience to improvise on my synthesizers. I felt like I was inside AND in space, I want to share where my head is at these days. This album is almost entirely comprised of the music I created in one take via live streams on Instagram.
