Fantasia is my album which I've been working on for a while now. It's a crossing point of alternative rock, indie pop and synthpop, and will have my most personal set of songs to date.
Pop sensibilities in music are very important to me, and so almost every song on Fantasia should make sense as a single. Although I am trying to make the kind of music I would like, Fantasia is also for the people. Fantasia is an expression of me, but it’s also for you (if you want it, that is.)

Note: This timeline is incomplete, and not comprehensive.
It seems like the album has been more than halfway finished for at least 1-2 months now? I'm not sure. You can never be sure with these sorts of things... I've been hesitant to try to figure out how to do the synth stuff, though I will hire for at least part of it. Lately, I've been practicing guitar for Star Avenue. I wanna at least play most or all of the lead guitar on Fantasia, though I'll probably end up playing most of the rhythm guitar too, even though I ended up hiring it out for This Paper Love.
Right now, This Paper Love is mostly finished. I've collaborated with other musicians, who have provided synths, bass, sax, and more. Right now, it's missing rhythm guitar, vocal refining, more polished mixing, and mastering.
Main focus shifts from When Tomorrow Comes to This Paper Love.
Last mix of When Tomorrow Comes for a while after months of working on it. Still more to do, but the song is mostly done!
Artie's Dreams is (most likely) relegated to B-side status, or may be shelved entirely.
I think this is when the first demo of Star Avenue was finished.
Most recent mix of Artie's Dreams is done. The song is mostly finished, but is lacking guitar, strings, and better lyrics.
First demo of Tonto Forest is finished! But will it be on Fantasia? I don't know.
