@SmashingPumpkin @Billy I'm excited for this. I recently got my MACHINA box set and i've been loving the new version.

Billy Corgan has been sharing exclusive ZWAN updates on his personal Substack - Orange Fades To Gray. He shared the news that a previously unreleased track was uncovered - “St. Louis Song”. This brings the official ZWAN song count up to 111 tracks! Another update from @Billy - additional transfers are currently underway with electrical drum sessions that serve as the foundational tracks of core Mary Star of the Sea songs. Want to know all that’s going on in WPC’s world? Interested in ZWAN updates? billycorgan.substack.com

I heard a quote the other day… “The quiet grind of chasing a sound and finding a piece of myself in it…..” I don’t know where that came from but it spoke to me. You learn a lot about yourself when making an album. You learn your strengths and your weaknesses.

I want to know that all this struggle meant something. This here is the biggest reason why i'm creating music today. This is the foundation of everything that i've built up to this point and will continue to build upon. This is all a part of The Process.

The biggest battle I fight everyday is to stop caring what others think of me. That's a mental thing and it's always held me back. I’ve played in bands for years, I’ve seen many empty rooms, overdrafted accounts, and rejection — but I’m still here. Still creating.

Here's a little look at what goes on through my mind behind the scenes. You see, over the past few months, I spent nearly $2,000 on music plugins and software that I probably couldn’t afford.

Haven’t had much time to breathe lately, but music keeps me centered. Working my way through finishing the album — one song at a time.

Life’s been chaotic lately but I’m still here, still making music, and Lover’s Eye is out now. Thanks to everyone listening. rjmendoza.bandcamp.com/track/lovers-e…

New single out tomorrow It's called "Lover's Eye" It’s probably the grooviest acoustic tune I’ve ever written — warm, hypnotic, and full of that late-night glow. I wrote it about how someone’s gaze can pull you into another world. Pre-save now: ffm.to/qq0qejo

I work at a winery and I’m a musician and I’m ready to tell my story. Day by day. Piece by piece.

I’m a bit of a proghead. Calm music

Calm fingerpicking style

A wise man once said that "people are so attached to their limitations that they will create stories in their minds to justify them." That hit me like a ton of bricks...
