I had no understanding of branding, music marketing, or strategy to think of when I decided to release 
FMA Team
I was invited by Cheyenne Hohman, formerly of WFMU, to the Free Music Archive in 2016 when I was developing my craft while trialing a few different names.
EQUINOX in October 2018 and SOLSTICE in November 2018, all of which were mainly promoted on Free Music Archive.
Because of the housing and security I was experiencing at the time, I didn't have a lot of money to promote my records. So once again, I came to CADENA, ONYX, and ORBIT, to acclaim from what was now across platform audience both in the Creative Commons space, Free Music Archive and in the proprietary space on digital streaming platforms and direct to fan sites like Bandcamp.
By this time every week it seemed I was being featured in YouTube videos, YouTube shorts, social media videos, just all kinds of different creative uses that I wouldn't have thought would be applicable to my music. - my music. As a way of coping with her declining health at the time, I leaned into a fresh sense of heightened emotional sensitivity and crafted an album of nine intimate yet otherworldly tracks.
The tracks: Christen really highlights the different sonic palettes that grief-induced nostalgia inspired me during the record's production. This album was able to included in content that reached over a million people through the copyleft licensing structures of the Creative Commons.
For 2022 and 2023, I plan to release more individual songs, and plan to make these available on the Nctrnm
