Crossing Bridges - Dreamcore OST
the 4th chapter of the OST series.
dreamcore. the poolrooms. weirdcore. and the backrooms. all pulled this sense of nostalgia and connection i've been missing for a long time. dreamy nostalgia and tongue-in-cheek eerie pairs well and connects all the themes in a satisfying way. it always made me feel at home in some weird way, which inspired this series.
and yet here we end with dreamcore. another fun internet created aesthetic that pulls from such a vulnerable and innocent place. this album has aimed to capture that feeling in somewhat of a love letter to the better times and nostalgia. when everything seemed simple, new and fantastical.
you can always return to the past
but no one will be there.

Galileo Grandiose
Of all the albums I've released this might be the most cherished. Originally written back in 2017. Exploring a plethora of psychedelic experiences, creating this album I was in rare form. Although I never felt like it was complete. It took years of me leaving on and off the back burner of my projects. Coming back to the album in different era's and focuses of the collective. I consistently found myself re-mixing, adding new elements, re-dubbing/recording parts. In 2021 & 2022 I finally was able to get the album in a place where I felt it was a completed work. With the help of Angel Marcloid's mastering skills the album now exists in a quality I never thought possible. This is it.
This is the latest masterpiece from the Forest Kids Collective

Undertakes Vol. 4
Undertakes is a series within the Forest Kids Collective as a 'mixtape' of 'cutting room floor' songs and ideas. A compilation of songs from various aliases within the collective that either didn't really fit a full release or was just some floater ideas that needed some 'finalizing'. Vol. 4 was honestly unplanned. January 2024 rolled around and I took a look at my projects and files after a productive 2023. Found 20 unreleased tracks that had enough potential for another Undertakes release so here we are!
