b"Myles Cochrane here, host of Humboldt Last Week. I'm so excited to share with you my first ever studio-produced song. Please give it a listen and keep in mind I'm a bit rusty. It's on some of the music streaming sites, too -- links below, along with song notes.\\n\\nAs someone who has talked and written about music via a number of local media outlets, this has been such a thrill trying it out from the other side \\U0001f49a\\n\\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4sbR5AyzblI6ZfgHSgVnBU?si=u6ad3DfWTI-X9yK61jFu-Q\\n\\nApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/kite/1510129591?i=1510129592\\n\\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2YNTGaILgc\\n\\nOne positive of staying at home? It's led to my first ever studio-produced song! Thank you to Dominic Romano of Bongo Boy Studio for producing remotely. I think he\\u2019s extremely talented and I think the studio is a Humboldt County treasure. Also, thank you to Shiann and Audrey for reassuring me throughout the process \\u2014 hearing them hum the chorus in the house at random moments has been such a fun new thrill. Finally, thank you to all of the family and friends that have encouraged me musically over the years.\\n\\nBesides my admiration for the pro-quality production, I have no idea if this song is halfway decent. Now that I mention it, it seems a little silly thanking people not knowing that.\\n\\nBut I feel like this is a good starting place and I\\u2019m proud of stepping out of my comfort zone. I haven\\u2019t written a song in a decade and as I noted I\\u2019ve never utilized a professional studio. In this case, I was able to compose the song and write the lyrics fairly quickly. Then I created a scratch beat along with a live acoustic-guitar version. Finally, I linked up with Dominic to translate what I had into a polished beat with studio vocals. He built on my vision with some great ideas and embellished things with each draft.\\n\\nThe acoustic guitar version is fun to sing and play, too. I\\u2019m thinking about writing more utilizing a similar process.\\n\\nI don\\u2019t really know where to start in trying to get people to hear this. Besides my post here, the single is on Spotify, Apple Music, and a number of other places where people get their music. I hope you enjoy it. Please consider adding it to your playlists. I went with the moniker \\u201cMC MC\\u201d and the title of the song is \\u201cKite.\\u201d I hope it stays afloat for a moment. Thanks for reading."
