Rainy Day Loops Perspective on Drag
My best advice. Prioritize your practice time and learn to effectively navigate your creative process. Know your limitations and avoid distractions, especially comparing yourself to other musicians—it can either deflate or inflate your ego unnecessarily. Don't try too hard to find your tribe; focus on practicing and executing your art in a way that satisfies you. When you stay true to your craft, the right people will naturally be drawn to you.
Great question. Thank you!
My dream performance is one where I am completely in tune with myself, free of clenching theory or standards. It's about pure connection and authentic expression.
I don’t have a single favorite; rather, I gravitate towards a few. "Viridis Quo" by Daft Punk has been on repeat for years—I love how it evolves and just hits me right. "Constants Are Changing" by Boards of Canada is another, with its airy feel that makes me feel like I'm floating.
Either the time I tried to sing for the first time with a band or my first live performance with in-ear monitors. The unfamiliar mix interface created a disconnect between me and my guitar, making it an awkward experience.
My earliest memory of listening to music takes me back to my dad's 8-tracks, filled with the sounds of BJ Thomas, Elvis Presley, and Chuck Berry. "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" by Elvis was a favorite. My first album was Michael Jackson's Thriller, and I played it until the grooves wore out.
The need to process and communicate my experiences. Music is my therapy and my language, a way to make sense of the world and connect with others who might feel the same.
The most significant lesson is that authenticity beats perfection. Embracing the imperfections and raw moments in my music has made it more genuine and relatable.
I want them to feel understood and less alone, to find a piece of their own story in my sounds. Whether it’s solace or inspiration, I hope my music resonates on a deeply personal level.
In the echo of an empty hospital corridor. The sterile, repetitive sounds created a rhythm that sparked an idea, turning a place of anxiety into a source of inspiration.
‘Gone’ (from my first release 'My Special Night') is my favorite because it was the portal into my artist name, rainy day loops. It encapsulates a pivotal moment in my life, blending melancholy and hope in a way that felt like discovering my true sound.
Imagine a dark, cinematic landscape where every note is a twist in a gripping narrative. That's Ghost—a blend of haunting melodies, theatrical flair, and metal intensity.
Definitely Ghost. Tobias Forge's ability to merge the theatrical with the melodic resonates with my love for storytelling in music. Touring with them would be an electrifying and inspiring experience.
I delve into themes of anxiety, loss, and acceptance, wrapped in a tapestry of sounds that reflect both personal struggles and broader human experiences. My music is a cathartic release, a journey through life's unpredictable paths.
In the past three years, my sound has become more raw and authentic, focusing on live performance and emotional storytelling. I've moved from polished production to capturing the essence of the moment.
This release straddles electronic, synthwave, and ambient, with hints of dark synth and introspective beats. It’s a sonic blend of nostalgia and modern electronic artistry.
‘Drag’ is deeply personal, born from a tumultuous year filled with anxiety and the reality of aging parents. The main sample echoes my mother's walker, symbolizing the weight of those moments and the dragging sense of inevitability.
I'm rainy day loops, an electronic music artist creating soundscapes that weave my personal experiences into each track. I thrive on the blend of analog and digital, turning life's highs and lows into auditory journeys.
