2522469, hes basically just a bedroom musician

making demos

(with all that implies, ie the reduced vision, purposely/not purposely limited sound/palette, not much ambition, etc etc)

except the music hes making is 80s synth funk

which is kinda unusual for someone to be doing within that sort of aesthetic

the main thing i find about dam is that hes good, i like the sound, the genre, but his songs have no dynamics. its just drum machine - turn ON, press record, and PLAY! again and again. hes got chops but hes not exactly herbie hancock when it comes to keeping you on your toes.

he really needs to find at the *very* least, a good rhythm guitarist. that would add a lot to his sound. i mean, jesus, even ant banks and those guys used to get guitarists in (iirc). im sure dam could do it.
