Meander

hope you had a good summer in spite of all the stuff

Don't become complacent.

Let's get better.

I've been doing a bit more movie-making than music-making these days. I made this a few weeks ago, and then, after putting my thing down, I flipped it and reversed it.

How are you doing? I think this episode is what it feels like to go through a Game Boy's mind when he's social distancing himself. 

So yeah! This is a scary time! (I'm fine, thank goodness) So let's be smart and careful and open-minded and thoughtful and creative. Yesterday, I did an open mic for the first time in years and it somehow wasn't a colossal disaster! Also, I'm going to combat any silly fears I have about not releasing new episodes/music because life is all about inventing stuff and falling and getting back up and so on until the end of time, right? 

I spent the last few days of the 2010s making a video all about what I'm bringing with me into this new decade, and it sounds good enough for me to release as the first Meander episode of the 2020s. 

This is how my brain would respond to the question "so how was your past month?"

I recorded this and instantly uploaded it without hearing any playback. Then I listened to it a few times. And I like it. I like it as an episode.

I made one chaotic piano track and then layered on a less chaotic one and then a less chaotic one over those two. The result is good enough for an episode. I think my favourite parts are blatant rip-offs of Wilco, John Cale, and David Bowie. Speaking of which, happy Father's day. My pop is maybe the biggest influence on my taste in music. Thanks for having great taste, Sr.
