Glass Beach is a protected beach, but not for its natural beauty. Located just outside of Fort Bragg, California it became an illegal dumping ground for residents in the late nineteenth century who lacked any kind of refuse pickup. It wasn’t until 1967 that the illegal dump was finally closed by city leaders and the local water board. The beach was cleaned of large refuse, but small pieces of glass and plastic that had been worn down by the elements remain, giving the beach its name and its unusual beauty.

Today marks the arrival of my first totally original track in almost two years! It’s called “Speak”.
It’s an experimental electronic hip hop piece, with every sound present being made with my mouth and recorded with an Apple headphone mic and then edited heavily to resemble something totally different. It was mastered by Meysell Quintana (I’d highly recommend having a listen to his music, it’s fantastic).
Here’s a link to the 320kbps mp3 file. It’s also available on my Bandcamp.
Happy listening!Much love,
Maxton(P.S.: It probably won’t be another two years until my next original track.)
