when i was on my solo trip in europe the first guy i bumped into in at the hostel in berlin was a busker who told me he was working on an album. i caught a few glimpses of demos while we were hanging out but didn't think much of it

last night i saw on his instagram that his album was released and gave it a listen and really loved it! this first track is about his experience in berlin. it's cool to see someone write a song about an experience you shared

in my opinion the highlights off this album are this song, album art for HUBRISHUBRIS, and album art for song.mp3song.mp3

on the topic of chance encounters with people and listening to their music, someone starred one of my github projects a few months back, so i took a look at their profile and saw that they were a guitarist and gave their music a listen - this is one of their songs!

it turned out to be extremely good, and also technically very impressive. on top of all this the guy is a PM at Slack. gives me hope that its possible to balance music with a tech career

i can't believe this has close to 0 listens on spotify. it's always wonderful to meet a stranger (even if its through an ephemeral encounter online) and find that they make beautiful music. feels like discovering a secret treasure trove. a similar experience: bumping into a guy at a hostel in berlin and listening to his album months later: album art for LET'S GOLET'S GO
