Notes to Selfby Robert Janz
Released August 11, 2023.
Notes to Self, the first instrumental original album from Janz since concluding the 3 volume 'Real Music' series, is quite possibly the most cohesive yet. Taking inspiration from an array of production styles and musical influences, Notes to Self is a transformative trip through the brief moments of inspiration documented over the course of several months through voice memos; aka, "Notes to Self".
