Under The Weather (Audio)
Through mist and melancholy, Under the Weather explores beauty in the grey—an intro to a universe where dreams fall, and rainy days linger too long
Under the Weather is a deeply introspective debut album that serves as both a personal statement and an invitation into a universe shaped by emotional turbulence, creative cycles, and the struggle to find light in dark places. This project captures the nuances of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the often-overlooked impact of living through long periods of emotional and artistic stagnation.
The album’s title speaks to the feeling of being trapped beneath a heavy sky, where every effort to break through is met with resistance. Lyrically and sonically, the songs embrace a somber yet cathartic tone, blending themes of yearning, self-doubt, and self-discovery. It’s not about resolving the sadness or escaping the rain—it’s about learning to see beauty in the grey, in the mist, and in the moments of stillness.
The tracks weave together narratives of struggling against depression, grappling with unfulfilled dreams, and navigating the complex relationship between solitude and creativity. Each song reveals a new layer, a different phase of the creative and emotional journey. There are echoes of longing and loss, but also glimmers of hope and acceptance—a reminder that sometimes, even when the sky is overcast, there’s something beautiful about the way the clouds break light into unexpected hues.
Drawing on influences from personal experiences and the environment, Under the Weather is a record that defies easy categorization. It’s a melancholic introduction to a world that’s both intensely personal and universally relatable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own cycles of light and darkness. With a mixture of ambient soundscapes, haunting melodies, and reflective lyrics, this album is a raw exploration of how creative expression can serve as a lifeline through the fog.
Ultimately, Under the Weather is a statement about learning to coexist with emotional cycles rather than resisting them. It’s a chronicle of the ups and downs of being an artist and a human being in a world that doesn’t always offer rainbows and sunshine. Instead, it offers something more nuanced—a place where rain and grey skies are as much a part of the story as the bright, fleeting glimpses of sun.
Role: Music Producer for Under the Weather
I’m looking for a music producer to join me in bringing Under the Weather—a project that blends raw emotion with complex soundscapes—to life. This role is for someone who understands the power of sound as a storyteller, who can weave textures that feel like shifting mist, and who thrives on exploring unconventional sonic spaces.
What I’m Looking For:
- Someone with a deep appreciation for ambient, alternative, and experimental music styles, who isn’t afraid to push boundaries or embrace imperfections in the name of artistic integrity.
- Experience with shaping unique soundscapes and building layered, emotionally resonant tracks that reflect a sense of place and mood.
- A collaborator who can elevate ideas with their own creative input, while remaining sensitive to the overall vision and themes of the project, which revolve around cycles of creativity, the melancholy of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and the beauty of finding light in darker places.
Responsibilities:
- Co-produce tracks for Under the Weather, helping refine and expand on existing material as well as create new work.
- Shape sonic textures that support the lyrical themes, which explore personal and emotional landscapes.
- Offer creative feedback, bring fresh ideas to the table, and handle technical aspects of mixing and production as needed.
Ideal Candidate:
- Comfortable working on a collaborative basis, either remotely or locally, and open to iterative processes.
- Experienced in creating music that evokes strong atmospheres and tells a story through sound.
- Passionate about experimental approaches, able to see value in “happy accidents,” and willing to embrace the unexpected.
This project is an invitation to dive deep, experiment freely, and co-create a body of work that speaks to the essence of being under the weather—lost in thought, carried by sound, and rooted in a place that feels suspended between the real and the imagined.
