I offer short track feedback for supporters on Patreon. I also work on multiple projects at once and jump between them. Some tracks like “ Double Jump” were completed within 24 hours but others - often collabs - can be chipped away at over the course of years. This is a tough question to answer since it varies so much. How much time on average do you spend writing a track? Yes! I started off making music around 2010 with my cousin as “Caution & Crisis” before working solo as “Dec3mber” and the rebranding to “Chime” in 2015. The name came to me from a previous track I’d made called “Chimes”. I’ve also been a fan of elemental themes from video games and other media all my life too and so choosing something to represent the wind / air element seemed fitting for a musical project (since sound is in essence the movement of air). Wind chimes and bells make some of my favourite sounds along with anything twinkly or sparkly so I thought this name would fit well with what already felt like a part of my signature sound. There were a few contenders but “Chime” ultimately won out once I came up with the idea to integrate a wind chime into the logo. When I decided to change my alias from “Dec3mber” back in 2015 I began collecting ideas for new names that could fit my brighter sound of dubstep. How and why did you come up with the name “Chime”?
