a kickstarter program started.

sky flying by is a safety valve. when the background noise gets overwhelming and everything stops making sense, there's music. a place i get to retreat to, something that makes everything else more OK.

sfb is just one person. me. i generally make other people feel really weird and uncomfortable so i've pretty much given up the idea of being part of a band. i used to, many in fact. i've been a drummer and a guitarist in several bands, but now, and many years since my last band, i have found solo work to be more safe.

i share my music because it makes it more real for me, a sense of purpose and a direction. if someone else likes it, well, that is icing on the cake.

i've started a blog that is an attempt to document this process, and facets that go into why and how i make this stuff. i'm working on making a record, one which i will release myself. primarily because this is what i do, but also no label in their right mind would touch a project like this.

everything is recorded and mixed in my little home studio, and i do my best to get things to sound as good as i can make them. i've been doing this for a long time, but i still have a lot to learn. i have a day job which means i can only work on this stuff after work and during the weekends so i try to get new material out every couple of weeks.

so, thanks for listening. i do appreciate it.

it should also be noted that sky flying by officially hates t61 and their horrible design and the joke they call a user experience.
