Oliver Jordan (April 2, 1970 – December 31, 1996) was a singer-songwriter with a mental illness that plagued him nearly his entire life.
His descent into darkness and depression becomes apparent when listening to his 1996 lo-fi album, 𝑻𝒆𝒏 𝑺𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒖𝒏𝒆𝒔 https://youtu.be/PcyQaADJDyc. Using his then girlfriend's modified answering machine as a recording device, writing and recording on the spot, he cut all songs in a manic 24 hours — and with good reason. Being delusional, he began complaining about a troll living behind the soundhole of his acoustic guitar and ruining his performance by rambling on in disagreement over his songwriting abilities.

After a failed suicide attempt in the aftermath of the recording, Oliver Jordan went to a mental institution where he reportedly died in a freak accident on December 31, 1996, when he choked on false teeth that a fellow patient had hidden in his banana pudding.

Side note:
The possibilities presented by modern sound engineering are almost unlimited, and the sound of the mainstream has become highly standardized. This has created certain listening habits and expectations about the way popular music itself should sound.
Lo-fi is a music or production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections of a recording or performance are audible, sometimes as a deliberate aesthetic choice.

"𝑳𝒐𝒘-𝑭𝒊 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔/𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅 is a frontline force for the worldwide reclaim of risk and hazard in the production of music." — 𝔽𝕒𝕜𝕖 ℍ𝕪𝕡𝕖 𝔽𝕒𝕟𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕖

"Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it."
