Trying new things! Got a chance to use an early release of @rachelkcollier sample pack to make this snippet of a song for her patreon listening party. The challenge was to do it in 1 hr, but it was fun to work under some creative boundaries. Sometimes limits like that actually make it easier to write. Her sample pack and album come out tomorrow!

For my song “Walls are Too Thin,” as I was writing the song I wanted to build to a big ending. The synth and main hook are relentless. By the last chorus the line “Closing in on me” is repeated and doubled so many times that you really feel like the walls are closing in on you. #producersoftiktok #producertok #producertok2023 #songwritersoftiktok #singersongwriter #denvermusic #coloradomusic #coloradomusician #coloradolife #coloradolifestyle #rockymountains #queermusician #queermusicians #coloradomusicscene #transmusician #transmusicians #denvermusicscene #coloradotiktok #coloradotiktoker #transgender #lgbtq #lgbtqmusician #lgbtqmusic #abletonlive #ableton #livelooping #liveloopingartist #transjoy #popmusic #chamberpop #synthpop #synthpopmusic #electropop #queermusic #popmusician #electronicmusic

Continuing the throwback to my song “Walls Are Too Thin,” which is available on all streaming platforms off my album "Down." This time a stripped-back acoustic version of the chorus and piano solo. I get so into the production that I forget sometimes how much the bones of a song matter. #piano #pianomusic #pianotok #pianotok🎹 #pianoplayer #pianoman #singersongwriter #songwritersoftiktok #denvermusic #coloradomusic #coloradomusician #coloradolife #pandemicsong #pandemicproblems #queermusician #queermusicians #coloradomusicscene #transmusician #transmusicians #coloradotiktok #coloradotiktoker #lgbtqmusic #transgenderboy #transjoy #popmusic #chamberpop #popmusician created by jzigmanmusic with jzigmanmusic's original sound - jzigmanmusic

This week I'm throwing back to my song “Walls Are Too Thin,” which is available on all streaming platforms off my album "Down." WATT is a song about feeling trapped, anxious, and stuck. Like your clothes don’t fit right, like the room is too small, like there’s no clear or correct direction. #anxiety #anxietyrelief #depresion #depressionanxiety #depressedtiktok #producersoftiktok #producertok #producertok2023 #singersongwriter #songwritersoftiktok #denvermusic #coloradomusic #coloradomusician #coloradolife #queermusician #queermusicians #coloradomusicscene #transmusician #transmusicians #denvermusicscene #coloradotiktok #coloradotiktoker #transgendermusician #lgbtqmusic #ableton #livelooping #liveloopingartist #transjoy #popmusic #chamberpop #synthpop #synthpopmusic #electropop #queermusic #popmusician #electropop

Here's a production/songwriting tip: try out alternate tunings! It's a bit of a pain for a few reasons, but it was the right move for my song "Down", listen to the whole song wherever you stream music. Message me or comment with any of your takes on alternate tuning! #producertok #producersoftiktok #songwritersoftiktok #musicproductiontips #musicproduction #composersoftiktok #composertok #synthtok #compositiontips #songwritingtips #songwritingtipsandtricks #coloradomusic #coloradomusician #denvermusic #denvermusician #lgbtqmusician #transjoy #transmusicians #kontakt #nativeinstruments #nativeinstrumentskontakt #massivesynth created by jzigmanmusic with jzigmanmusic's original sound - jzigmanmusic
