Paper by Music Of 25
Paper's idea was written in 2020; it's tones, textures, and structure were written and performed in 2021. Both years produced samples that became a central part of the EP.
Paper represents a new direction for Travis Pope/Music Of 25 and it was a challenging project that evokes powerful and personal memories.
It only exists because the songwriter is surrounded by brave, supportive people and dedicated musicians that have taught him so much in the last three years.
This one was hard.
**"Ally" was released as a single on 6/19/21 and proceeds made during the single's release weekend were donated to the Austin Justice Coalition.**
