about

Sketches Vol. 1 is an EP that was created in one month as part of the Sketches Challenge.

Throughout the month of November, Xani streamed live to Twitch each Sunday improvising different songs based on different themes. The listeners were invited to contribute moods, lyrics and musical instructions which shaped the improvisations.

At the end of each stream, the listeners would vote on which track was their favourite and Xani would refine, perform, record, mix and master the selected track.

The result was this EP of four songs created through audience interaction via the Twitch chat functions.

"I Can Let You Go" was created in the final week, inspired by Spring time and the blooming of new ideas. Xani attempted to incorporate new ideas and approaches to music-making throughout this stream, which is why this track features mandolin.

lyrics

Falling behind
I'm falling behind you
And I can't catch up

Take my time
I take my time
Slow and steady

I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can't let you go today

Like a flood
This feels like flooding
Deciding fast

If you're the water
I'm the town
I'm never ready

I can let you go
I can let you go
But I can't let you go today
