I feel like I always make some of my best work when I get to contribute to GameLark albums - the last time I did one was Tropic Trials, which I had so much fun working on and this was a very similar experience! Late in our first semester, Noah Benson showed me the title track of jazz pianist Justin Kauflin's album "Coming Home" and I instantly fell in love - such a simple but groovy and beautiful tune. When we decided the next GameLark album would be a Kingdom Hearts tribute, the thought quickly came to my mind to do Lazy Afternoons in the style of this tune, and it turned out to be a great fit! Reference mixing can really do wonders in production and recording, as we worked to treat the drum kit and get that same dead sound on the record and make it a very tight production. It's always fun getting to play soprano saxophone too, and I look forward to doing it more in the future!

And of course, props as always to my wonderful collaborators! All the instrumentalists brought their absolute A-game to this tune, and it was such a joy to watch their parts gradually come in. And of course, much love to Beau and Alejandro for taking care of post-production and giving this project a wonderfully professional sound.

I'm not too sure what I'll be covering next, I'd love to hear your suggestions! Let me know down in the comments below what you'd like to hear more of. Thanks so much for watching!
