Buy the pack here<\/a><\/p>\n

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 \u201cdata\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t make it any less real. I can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know that I\u2019ll write another pack, definitely not any time soon. But in the mean time, there\u2019s a lot to explore in \u201cSouls\u201d. The lyrics came from personal journals I\u2019ve 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\u2019s out there! And just like most new things I do, at the end of it I\u2019m really glad I did \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
