This is the fourth record produced in my home studio, “Eleanor, The World.” The writing process started in July of 2023 in Port Orford, Oregon, with concepts taking their form across the country before finding their way back to Northern Illinois. Amidst a haze of existential confusion and anxiety, the recording process began in November of 2024. And as the months passed, every crazy feeling and unmagnificent moment of despair was channelled into eight experimental indie folk songs. While the “Max Witty” project began as a somewhat lighthearted experiment with music production, “Eleanor” is the biggest release yet, with a bigger budget and many talented musicians adding orchestral depth.
Hi! I’m a multi-instrumentalist and amateur songwriter from Chicago, IL. I started this project with a small budget and limited music production experience in August of 2021. Each record is for the most part written, recorded, produced, and mastered within the confines of my tiny home studio. It’s been and will continue to be a learning experience—with an overarching goal of finding my place in the expansive world of indie music—until the project has run its course. Hope you enjoy :)
