Chronology (2016 - 2024)
Since 2016 I have been actively thinking and also creating art projects one after another; sometimes rapidly, sometimes no. In order to help organize my mind again, I'm going to list as many of the works as I can remember here,
2016
- Early spring. Wrote first album: Sanguine, or an Attempt to Imitate the Line. Recorded a few times but are all deleted and best forgotten. My musical attempts would improve and be a mainstay after the screenwriting phase.
- End of summer. Initial ideas for three scripts: The Mystery of Planet City, The Adventures of a Nuclear Family, and 2016: The Current Year.
- Fall. Used The Mystery of Planet City as the script I'd use in my fall screenwriting class (the final assignment was to write the first 10 pages). Did not conceptualize the in-universe idea of a Planet City until the following year. For the most part I referred to that project as the Spookyman script.
Overall: Wrote an album, started one script, conceptualized two.
2017
- Winter. Wrote first draft of The Mystery of Planet City.
- Spring. Tried writing a script I'd eventually shoot called 2016: The Current Year, which would be based off of my life and then speculate on the future. Gave up on it that very season.
- Summer. Start writing The Adventures of a Nuclear Family. Pause late summer.
- Late fall/early winter. Continue Nuc Fam. During this time I was writing songs as well; though most have been lost to time, one recording was eventually released publicly: Me and Nina.
Overall: Finished one script and wrote most of another script. Some songwriting.
2018
- Early winter. Finished first draft of The Adventures of a Nuclear Family.
- Winter. Conceptualized and shortly after started writing a fairy tale screenplay about an egg called Chopin Goes Home. Summer. Wrote first EP, Heart Attack.
- Early fall. Finished writing Chopin Goes Home.
- Fall. Wrote and recorded second EP at the same time, Can't Swim. Wrote most of third EP, Green Food (finished writing one song in December).
- Early winter. Recorded Heart Attack and Green Food.
Overall: Finished two scripts and recorded three EPs.
2019
- Winter. Took time trying to get EP covers right. This process was a long form of spotty progress from early winter to early spring.
- Spring. Released the 3 EPs. Immediately began working on an album which would supersede the previous as a debut, called Lost in Time. One song and riff were written before May, but most were written that month.
- Summer. Released Lost in Time. Immediately began writing the next album, Booger. Around this time in my life I spent a long time compiling all my writing into one document and talking about the process behind making it, but I feel so different now to who I was then that I don't wanna looks back on it. Fall. Wrote, recorded, and released Booger. Began conceptualizing the next record, knowing it would be more than just an acoustic guitar.
Overall: Released three EPs and two LPs.
2020
- Winter + spring. Wrote the first King Kiva album, Hamstring Pop.
- Summer. Considered scrapping Hamstring Pop and starting over, but went ahead with recording it as well as a song from an eventual lofi EP called bold mold.
- Fall + winter. Recorded Hamstring Pop. Continued work on bold mold. Started writing / recording dungeon synth EP.
Overall: Wrote and recorded one album. Recorded some other stuff.
2021
- Winter. Released Hamstring Pop. Immediately came up with the idea for "shh! Sounds From Kiki and Friends." Finished recording bold mold. Came up with outline for pilot script of Bring Me the Sun.
- Spring. Wrote some songs for shh! Bursting Into Kaleidoscope and relegated to lunch. Began writing Bring Me the Sun.
- Summer. Released bold mold. Continued writing and began recording shh!
- Fall + winter. Continued recording shh! at a slower pace.
Overall: Released one album, released an EP, wrote and recorded half of another LP, got back into screenwriting.
