Buy the pack here
As someone who has written and released two albums and over 60 singles, I have to admit that writing for a sample pack has been kind of a mind melt. I wrote 6 songs, then promptly dismembered them. 16 GB of my music “data” is out there with minimal guidance on bpm and key… for anyone to create with. Additionally, I never have the finished product that for me, is one of the most rewarding aspects of writing music.
To not have that, initially, felt weird. But the Black Octopus demos helped give them a story, even if it is just one of infinite possibilities. And that has been the revelation in this. There are so many paths a song can take. Just because I am not choosing the singular path for the song doesn’t make it any less real. I can’t wait to hear all the things people make. Even the bad ones! Haha. Please send your creations if you want me to listen. I always do.
I don’t know that I’ll write another pack, definitely not any time soon. But in the mean time, there’s a lot to explore in “Souls”. The lyrics came from personal journals I’ve kept all my life. Some go back over a decade! Each idea was a point in time for me, capturing a little piece of me along the way. Hence the name. I truly hope others can experience it the same way I have. Either way, it’s out there! And just like most new things I do, at the end of it I’m really glad I did 🙂
