Alaskan music producer/teacher/fan. I especially love vocal pop, rock, retrowave, and adjacent genres. I play keys and guitar. He/him.

"HERE BE DRAGONS," an 11-track synthpop/80s rock tour de force, out now!

Love is not a zero-sum game.
A rising tide lifts all boats.

Hey everyone, I'm BACK with new music coming next week.

"Highway 101" is all about "I gotta get out of here!" without the pesky "where am I going?"

It's a pretty classic Nagoon weird #synthpop with vocals track (this one I sing myself).

Please follow and share and all that jazz. Full track on Bandcamp next week!

Blue Nagoon is BACK with some weird & woolly synthpop

Pre-saves & follows welcome!

Mixing my latest track and it sounds SO GOOD

Until I compare it to my reference track, and then it sounds SO BAD.

New mug

So much “I’m super sick with all the symptoms of #COVID but it’s not COVID because I had three negative home tests” going around.

People—home tests aren’t perfect and there’s increased immunity and lower viral counts these days. It’s probably COVID.

Not to brag but I'm pretty popular with the animals.
As a proud representative of my generation, you don't need a costume to scare me. Showing up to my door unannounced gets the job done.

I've been absolutely obsessed with Robin Hobb's Farseer books lately. I'm halfway through book 2. Fantastic worldbuilding and character development. The main character is a very realistic young person, with all the frustrations, heartbreak, and possible unreliable narrator that comes with that.

I've heard people complain these books are slow but I'm not feeling that, I'm loving every minute spent with these characters & world.

I listened to @bluenagoon 's album (a recent #BandcampFriday purchase - #RIPBandcampFridays) for the first time today and it's So Good!

Blue Nagoon expert* mixing tip: TURN THE DRUMS UP.

*not actually an expert

#BandcampFriday update:

Seven albums, listened to five plus parts of the other two. No regrets.

I found Here Be Dragons by @bluenagoon the easiest to get my metaphorical arms around. Imagine that the Moody Blues had a rotation of women vocalists, and were also from Alaska. (I'm no expert on synthwave, but I grew up on 80s music, so take this layman's take for whatever it's worth.)
