How I made Starmapping

On August 18th, 2023, I released my third full-length album, Starmapping. I thought it might be interesting to take a dive into the "behind the scenes" of how I made it so on this page I'll be explaining what went into each song and the over all planning of the album.

Background and concept

The general idea of Starmapping was for it to tell the story of a fantastical trip through space, somewhat reminiscent of the pretend adventures I used to go on with my friends when we were kids and we'd paint a big cardboard box to be our little spaceship. Each song represents one part of the journey, and I'll get into that later. It's hard to say exactly when I started working on Starmapping. A few months after my last album, Priyom was probably when I started working on one of the first songs that would end up on Starmapping, though I'd already been messing around with a sci-fi themed album for a while before that. But basically 2021 to 2023 is the main timeframe of work for Starmapping.
