I started making music on FL Studio back in 2010/2011. Well… actually, that’s not true. I started making music on a program called Acoustica Mixcraft. Looking back now it’s definitely not a professional DAW in the same way the well-known ones are, but I was able to do what I needed on it, and what … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 151: Musical Journey: Rapping, Software, Hardware, Modular

500 WORDS, DAY 63: Music Production
Today I thought I’d write about something I spend a lot of time doing, maybe even most of my time even, or at least my free time. I decided I would write about music production today. I’ve been into music for more than a decade now. It all started with hip-hop, but the more music … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 63: Music Production
“Rebel Spirit,” My First Album on Streaming Platforms.
I had been in my birth country of Honduras at the time of my 2 previous solo rap releases, in 2017 for Musical Alchemy and in 2019 for Expanding our Horizons, and during the time I was there I got the chance to work on some music that didn't really fit the feel of either … Continue reading “Rebel Spirit,” My First Album on Streaming Platforms.
DAY 31 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
I really wish I had done my writing earlier today, I gotta stop leaving it for the night. I've been thinking about that, just because I don't want to rush my writing, but now I've got another great reason to actually write earlier. I sit here with a massive, pounding headache, wishing I could just … Continue reading DAY 31 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 26 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Day 26 of writing on my blog, nice. It's also my fifteenth or sixteenth day of posting daily beats on Beatstars, and now that I have a decent catalogue of beats I have to start looking into marketing strategies to try to generate sales. One strategy is simply messaging artists and letting them know that … Continue reading DAY 26 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 15 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
My favorite way of making music is on the MPC One. When I first started my music journey at eleven or twelve years old I started with FL Studio, since I was just a kid with a laptop and not a lot of money saved up that I could spend on gear. I had fun … Continue reading DAY 15 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 10 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 10, nice! Only have to do ten days nine more times to get to a hundred. My record right now is 81 days straight, if I'm not mistaken. This time I don't only plan to beat that, I plan to go for as long as I can, until the end of my days if … Continue reading DAY 10 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
“Instrumental Inspiration” Volume 1
I sample a lot of records to make beats, it's something I really enjoy doing, especially on my MPC One. This particular collection of sampled beats, however, consists of some of my earliest sampling experiments, not too complex, completed on FL Studio 11. These beats are actually from back in 2012, so they're being officially released 10 years after their creation. I'll be releasing more sampled beats moving forward, all as part of the Instrumental Inspiration series, since each beat has been inspired by, and built from, an existing work of art.
Reviving My Blog!
WOW!!! I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I last posted something on here. And to think I had set the goal of writing a thousand words a day! Hah! Well, I can't be so tough on myself, I made it up to at least like 80 consecutive days at one point. What … Continue reading Reviving My Blog!
“Musical Alchemy” (Dec 2017)
"MUSICAL ALCHEMY" "Musical Alchemy" is my newest musical project, as well as first released as Rebel Spirit since I took a break from music a few years back in order to really redefine the vision and mission of my music and the Rebel movement. Been working on this project for the past few months in order to … Continue reading “Musical Alchemy” (Dec 2017)
