Please excuse the meows where real words should go.

Jamuary 2025 - Day 1 - Early Risers by Endless Blue

Last one! (Well, until Jamuary...) Went back to the slowcore vibes, which I where I think I'm gonna go primarily next month.

Been real in 2024 my dudes.

Pretty standard process here, fiddling on the piano, build it from there. Really like the snare turn around at the end of the phrase. Obligatory baritone guitar sweeps in the chorus, yadda yadda yadda. One more beat to go my peoples.

Did this one on an alternate laptop while traveling. Gave me a chance to try some significantly different approaches and think outside the box a bit. A bit trappy, a bit industrial, got my 808 on.

This one turned out pretty dark -- kind of has downtempo darkwave/industrial vibes. Just followed the flow to see where it took me.

Holiday week gave me a ton of extra time to work on this one. Stuck with a single sampler instrument for all the synth parts, just stretching its legs and getting to know how to work it. Very happy with the feel of the beat, just quickly locked in.

I've been working on this passion project of turning a film I like into a silent film and scoring it for, well, way too many years now. Thought I might score a scene for it this week. The scene is about visiting old friends from your past and then visiting with your new friends. Flowing acoustic guitar and strings, with a few thematic elements dropped in.

Busy week, had to quick get this one done. Had some inspiration to do a very minimal track, using just a few instruments to get the point across. All about the automation, a lot of which I did live. Pretty pleased with the result.

Not much to say beyond the fact that I made this one entirely using the Liven LoFi-12 in a portable studio. That kind of week.
