Hello, I am Flam!
In 2006, we moved back to the Bay Area after five years in Vancouver, British Columbia, and during the first few weeks, all my ProTools gear was in storage. I wanted to make something, so I opened up my MacBook Pro and decided to get to know the free Apple GarageBand software. I started doodling on my laptop, and as I got deeper into the program, I realized that I was creating little things that I was quite pleased with. Then, I started to wonder, "What do I want to actually SAY with all of this?"
Over the ensuing 12 years, I have compiled quite an archive of these pieces, credited to my alter ego, Flam!
I think of these musical ideas as little meditations, no more, no less, and each of them was fussed over with love and care over the course of many nights, months or in some cases, years. I have plenty more Flam! stuff coming later, but I thought would start by curating this 41-minute introductory collection. I'm really happy with it, and excited for you to hear it. Thank you for your time and attention. Enjoy, Paul Myers, Kensington, California, March 2018.
