Arctica(or You Just Have to Exist) was a collective of tracks I made before Version for Maddie but felt they should be heard be people other than myself. They show the lonely side of my music and we’re mostly written during the winters of 06 and 07 with one track dating back to 2005. Alone in the White is the oldest track and my personal favorite, not because of the quality(recorded it in about an hour on a demo program that was unsaveable) but because of the story behind it as I recorded it isolated due to a winter storm at my house at 2:00 in the morning. The title track is also a favorite as “Arctica” was recorded with a couple of friends and a few months later I returned to it to put the instruments together and master the sound while hanging out with Maitta in her dorm room. Like Version for Maddie, this was also intelligently reviewed by Scotio from Opinionhated. He is a brilliant writer/reviewer who I sincerely hope succeeds.
