My Life In Mixes
Mixes I made during the first 18 years of my life. I spent hours and hours by myself, with my headphones in, working on each of these. They were how I processed increasingly adult stuff, until eventually I became an adult. Music grows and changes with you, but a mix you know like the back of your hand also has the power to transport you back across spacetime. I didn't journal consistently when I was younger, so this is what I've got to recall these years.
