well my disillusionment with social media only increases every day, but i really do like connecting with people.

so, i'm gonna try and be more active over here.

ANYWAY, first things first, i have a brand new album coming out on the 30th!

it's called "disembodiment songs" and i'm releasing it under the name Jaew.

Jaew is a new project for me, and I decided to release these songs under a new moniker as sort of a fresh start and new perspective on things. unlike a lot of the stuff i've released under the name Elm Maxell for instance, these songs are suuuuper ornate, detailed, and kinda artsy. i felt i needed to draw a line between a name that i'm operating as an art project and borderline resume (yes, for real lol) vs. a name i can put out quick, simple lofi beat tapes under.

so, yea! album on the 30th, and i have a teaser track/single called "springwise" out right now on Bandcamp and right here on NG! it recently got frontpaged which is awesome, tysm NG for still being sick to this day <3

ALSO, i'm really trying to get some composition and/or sound design work. i absolutely love doing it, but don't get many opportunities to do it. so, i finally put up a page on the Collabinator with all the details and a whole host of audio examples of the countless genres i've dipped my toes in. do check it out!

yeah i think that's about it! lots of collabs down the line too, mostly rap stuff with my homies Hoodie Hilltop, Vernie In Hell, and fellow NGer PKSkyler.

see u soon <3
