Kind of an experimental week. Just had some fun trying different things. I don’t think it all came together in any particularly successful way, but there are some good ideas in there. It’s nice to do something just for entertainment’s sake and not have it come out a dirge for once.

Couldn't prioritize the time to do DAW work this week. Probably some quantization and latency compensation to figure out to using iOS GarageBand instruments better.

Have a number of musical things to dial down and focus more soon. Have been splitting a little wide between singing, guitar, production, cello, music sw, etc. Coming up on the performance I've been practicing cello for and probably will take a break and focus more on vocals/production after that. Cello is awesome, but I'm ready to put that time and energy more toward vocals, guitar, and production.

I saw a fantastic quartet this week that was inspiring and life changing. Violin violin viola cello. I was 1ft away from the violin player and in direct view of the cello player. (I was very tempted to keep going at cello after seeing and hearing this xD)

i think we rested in the winter time

couldn't quite escape

tumbling branches through the glass & grime

our arms don't bend that way

mind your change

BOOM

are you quiet or are you strange

maybe both

oh my god what have we gotten here

a blanket or a cape

mind your change

BOOM

are you quiet or are you strange

maybe both

i think we rested in the winter time

couldn't quite escape

tumbling branches through the glass & grime

our arms don't bend that way

over the past few weeks, i've been working on a score/"cover" of john williams' duel of fates for cinemadrome's sweded film fest.  i've always liked doing music for movies, but cinemadrome events are really the only time i find myself doing it.  so this month i'm gonna do some for fun! 

also been watching a lot of early 2000s asian cinema lately. first up is "the host" (directed by bong joon ho and starring song kang-ho and

Some questions don't seek an answer. They exist to be asked, again and again, in the hope that sound itself might fill the absence. This piece was born from that place.

I recorded the church drum kit with my mid side microphone this morning, so better than my phone. didn't have a lot of time to make it into a track though

Another cleanup piece for Kinetic, but a fun one with a lot of nostalgia. I was super into Skull Taste when it came out from Mux Mool, and I found a way to replicate a funky sounding bass in some way or another. I couldn't help myself and made some glitchy arps and hard hitting snares. I reviewed the mix, punched everything up EQ wise, pulled things back with limiters, and hopefully I don't cringe at my mix years down the line!

This week I barely made it across the finish line, but I still wanted to bring something with a strong vision behind it.

The idea was to imagine a Viking spirit crossing the ancient Silk Road, carrying that raw northern strength through distant lands, temples, deserts, mountains, and forgotten kingdoms. Along the way, it absorbs the traditional sonorities of those cultures — ancient strings and oboe´s, ritual rhythms, mystical Northen voices, and earthy melodies — and transforms them into something celestial and futuristic.

I wanted the track to feel like an old legend seen through the stars: traditional, powerful, and spiritual, but also glowing with sci-fi atmospheres, deep chillstep energy, and a sense of cosmic travel.

It is not as polished as I would have liked and the structure could be better, but it carries the emotion of the journey. A meeting point between ancient warriors, Silk Road dreams, and future skies.
