Blending together all the bits and pieces. Access those things. Extract another sense. Make audio the best it can be. Once again. Grateful growing love. Living breathing milestones. 🪝

Gravitate towards it, feel it, that’s where all the emotion is. What you have that will fill the gaps. Dig into that. Get to the bottom of the gear quest. Engineering like breathing. Launched right into doing. Do a project. Stood the test of time. It’s the why not the what. If it’s all just make believe, make it the best it can be. Build experience points and build experience points. Massaging the whole process. The lightbulb moment. ⚡🔌💡

Like the cherry blossom or the falling leaves... or like a TV episode vs a season... albums are an incredible palate for tension and release — in all its various forms.

In this episode, I discuss the different ways music can build tension, and share why LPs are like the modern symphony. It's worth it!

Cycles up again. Marking the turn. A harbinger for something to come. An aesthetic a-ha. Fun to share it. The feeling that gives. Rediscovered harmony. Highlighting that thing. Humming. The medium itself. Takes up time. The journey, the plot. Allows a larger palette. The purpose of doing. One of the puzzle pieces. Each makes the other stronger. Feel what it feels like. Then it’s done. That sakura in its fleeting moment. Because it is fleeting it is beautiful. So satisfying, so lifelike, so meaningful. Music itself reflects this. Respect the listener. Respect of the craft the audience the artist all around. The dissonance between simplicity and complexity. That’s fine that’s fun it’s a good challenge. The constant background. Large swaths of the song. Be thrilled by it. The reason for tuning in to this story. That’s cool to have that intentionality. Nice to imagine. 🧩🌸

✏️ ⁠We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! (Twister Sister Documentary)⁠

✏️ Jay Jay's ⁠Wikipedia biography⁠

Rock is always in a cycle of rebirth — commoditization and then rebellion. Punk was the ultimate expression of that. In this episode, we chart the movement’s journey, beginning with the Velvet Underground’s avant-garde provocations and The Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, and The Dictators at CBGB.

Then let’s discuss the seismic eruptions of the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and then the reinvention of sound by bands like Talking Heads, and Joy Division.

A scene that begins that starts to push these boundaries at a different angle. Has time and space to flourish. Kinda opens up. The rock pendulum swinging. That next arc. Starts to attach these things. Let’s dig into it. It’s so fascinating to think about the chain. The undercurrent of rock. That tendency. To root back. To add a different sense. So the scene is set. What the music even means. What it has become. Keeps it fresh, keeps it churning. 🧷

For this love. A really powerful message. Such a great lesson. Take a listen. Listening to that body, listening to that muse. Eat vegetables. The ecosystem of it. All that kind of stuff. Juices you up so you can keep doing it. Size and scope of routine. Both of these things can be true at the same time. Sculpts the sculptor. Naturally happening for a variety of influences and forces. The amount of modalities. In the cultural zeitgeist talking about it. That unspoken language. All that kind of stuff. Value time and creativity. Some rocks in the streams. Keep down the path that you want to be on. Write that song that the song is pulling you towards. Throw paint at the wall, and try to find beauty in it. The thesis of our song. Feel that rush when you write a new song. Get the song right. Gets happy. Fits vibe better. Music is in a really cool spot right now. In everyone’s best interest. Another example of perception reality. Works well together. It goes both ways. Both of these things can be true at the same time. The patience and the wherewithal to stand by and do that. The flexibility is key. Resources that you can deploy to make art better. Unpack that a little bit. Things that aren’t perfect. You can exhale and start over. 🎐

Check this out. The human element of it all. Opens up conversations. On balance. Being shifted. Big moods going on. Gives that lift. Can have a philosophical conversation. Feels so much better. Way more like athletic. Spin together. The environment in which you can flex those muscles. To fill frequencies. It’s an auditory art. Combination of notes. Provides such gratification. That next tier. Why we do this thing. Get there before you can get there. Come to find out. What creativity is. Beyond the notes themselves. Organizational system. The same arc. Deconstruct it then reconstruct it. Emotional-spiritual practice. Confident enough. Confidence to try. Mind-blowingly phenomenal. Have it forever. Doing the thing and sounding like the thing. Getting on the ship and sailing the ship. 💧🐟
