‘Telephone Wires’ - maxime. (2021/maxime.) cover art by needle.tip

maxime. released their EP ‘Telephone Wires’ today – lovely surprise

feeling the impacts musically and from the embroidery cover art

me likey

a tidbit i want to remember about my buffering process, so far:

the tracks are diegetic – collected from the day, many from the environment

booming from someone’s garage, over the radio in the morning as the alarm goes off, at the store while running errands…

listening back – in the order in which they were collected – can be trippy

can’t say it will always be this way

just happy to have some sorta way at all

ok… bye bye!
