Unreleased, Unfinished, Unplayable

by Life Patterns

mobtek Definitely playable and just re-listenable! Favorite track: The Sound of Things Staying the Same.

lessdead This album is kind of magical. Life patterns has this lo-if, minimalist style that is very comforting. Melodies stretch and blend with crackling pads. It’s like sitting by an open window, feeling a cool breeze as the world turns.

FoxPuppy Despite the title, I found this album to be quite playable, and I own it so it was released. As for the "unfinished," this album contains music in a wonderfully natural form that may not be fully "formed," but they've got the purity and heart of songs that needed to be heard regardless how "finished" they are. Kinetic thoughts in sonic form.

about

This is a collection of old songs, demos and sketches. Most were done on the iPad between 2018 and 2020, around the time when I was getting started as a solo musician. Some are very rough, others are more or less completed tracks.

I had published one or two of these tracks on Bandcamp before and subsequently removed them after I started to get more serious about promoting my music because I didn't feel they matched the sound I was trying to achieve at the time.

This album is a bit of course correction on that stance. Every track here is a Life Patterns track, regardless of genre or style. It all reflects my (ugh) journey as a musician and it's all informed by my interests, tastes and sensibilities.

There is truth in the album title. Half of these songs are brand new (that is, shared with the outside world for the very first time), more than half of them are unfinished. As for the unplayable part... I'll leave that up to you.

Pining for the Chords
by Depthbuffer

Genre-hopping but consitent through its runtime, ranging from child-like innocence to the depths of mental disorder without skipping a bwat. Required listening for fans of Eels. Life Patterns
