The Calm by William Jacobs

the calm is my first album and really my first venture into writing original music at all. i released it on october 20th 2017: two days before my half birthday, so that i could very confidently tell the world that i released this before reaching the nice round number of fifteen and a half. it's not really the best album you'll ever hear but it's out and it's free so take it or leave it

i was very much influenced by video game music at this point and i think you can hear that in many of these tracks. you can pretty much hear me learning to compose/produce throughout this, and in many cases you can hear my excitement at being able to layer many many instruments on top of one another. i (like many) only possess two hands and so the ability to conjure more than two lines at once was wizardry to me.

you will also hear lots of f minor, midi piano and below-par mixing

and a bonus track called luna!!!! which is a piano solo that i made very early on into the album's production but which did not quite make it initially. clearly my standards were very high
