I wrote Reverie when I was 17, and that first version was uploaded to Soundcloud (RIP) back in May 2015. Over the past 9 years I’ve written thousands of new pieces of music for film and TV, but my earliest, cheesiest melodies always stuck with me. Maybe it was nostalgia and memories of a simpler time, making music in my bedroom back home with zero pressure or looming deadlines. Whatever it was, in early 2020 I decided I wanted to revisit some of older those tunes with my newfound skills and the talented people around me in Los Angeles.
I've seen some people express their distaste for these new versions and go so far as to say they're ‘not you anymore’. While I can assure that they are in fact ‘me’, the sentiment is justified. There’s something very intangible about our personal connections to particular pieces of music, and if you’re someone that connected more with the original versions, they’re still around online - send me an email if you want the files.
The album artwork is by the incredible artist Julien Missaire, and was created entirely in 3D software. I spent a long time looking for an image that felt as striking and as filmic as what I’d set out to capture with this music, and fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it.
