60
Everything on '60' was Written, Recorded, Performed, Produced, Engineered, Mixed, and Master by Martin Thomas Smyczek II
Album art done by Martin Thomas Smyczek
Recorded in STEREO.
If you only listen with one earphone, or one earbud, or in mono, you will miss the other half of the music being played. The suggested listening method is a solid pair of headphones, or over a stereo system, so that all sounds come through properly via left and right sides as they were intended.
"60" is a concept album.
The goal was to record 60 songs, with each song being both written and record in 60 minutes or less, and each song being 60 seconds in length or less, with the total album length being 60 minutes or less.
Each song was written, and recorded in 60 minutes or less. Nothing was written or recorded for each song before, or after this 60 minute span. Each song is 60 seconds in length or less. No part of any song was cut off to make it fit into the 60 second time frame. There are a total of 60 songs on this album. The album is less than 60 minutes in length.
The running order of the songs is in the exact order they were recorded in.
The only sounds you hear on this album are from a single acoustic guitar. These sounds were recorded using only the standard mic in a mac laptop.
Recorded March 2023 - July 2025

While this sound recording is a collection of songs, it is put together in such a way that it tells a story...an adventure.
