500 WORDS, DAY 88: Literary Detour

So, today is day 88 of this writing challenge I’ve set for myself, which consists of posting 500 daily words on here. It’s cool that I’m very close to a hundred days, but I do have to admit that not everything has necessarily gone according to plan. Now, that doesn’t mean anything has actually gone … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 88: Literary Detour

500 WORDS, DAY 84: Music Creation & Consumerism

I previously wrote about the funny feeling I get when I think about how deep I’ve gotten into synthesis, and music gear in general, over the last few years. I realize that actual physical gear is no longer even necessary these days for making music. A computer can easily take the place of a mixer, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 84: Music Creation & Consumerism

500 WORDS, DAY 69: My Channel for Music Production Tutorials

My new studio setup. Editing the first tutorial video for my upcoming YouTube channel. Today I figured I’d just write down a bit about what’s currently happening with my creative pursuits; what I’m learning about and what I’ve been working on recently, etc. In the last few months, I’ve been learning as much as I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 69: My Channel for Music Production Tutorials

500 WORDS, DAY 68: Find Something You’re Interested in Learning

My current synth setup: MPC One, Digitakt & Digitone, Microfreak, TD-3 Today I’ve been using any free moment I’ve had to keep learning more and more about synthesizers and everything related to them.

500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2

Yesterday I introduced the idea of changing up the method by which I get these daily posts done. The change I’m referring to is that now, instead of randomly writing about whatever comes to mind, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness manner, I will instead choose one specific topic to write about, and I will go … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2

500 WORDS, DAY 48: My Writing is Random Because Life Is

It’s been almost fifty days of my current writing experiment, my goal of posting at least five hundred daily words on my blog, and although I constantly think of quitting, either from a place of laziness or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m glad I’ve persevered through it so far. I find that, at times, I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 48: My Writing is Random Because Life Is

500 WORDS, DAY 42: Sober Day, Stoner Life

August 11th, 2024. I don’t know if those count as three words, let me check. Yeah, according to Microsoft Word they do count as words. Nice, three words in, yay! If you’ve read some of my previous posts that start like this you might imagine that I’m facing some sort of writing problem, leading me … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 42: Sober Day, Stoner Life

500 WORDS, DAY 39: Hidden In Plain Sight

I’ve been writing about time and about life and death in general, as well as what I think are some of the most important ideas associated with these topics, mainly topics that come up whenever we as humans contemplate life and death. I’ve also been writing a lot about creativity and art, about what it … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 39: Hidden In Plain Sight

500 WORDS, DAY 32: The Price of an Hour of Your Life

Yesterday I interrupted the topic we’ve been exploring in order to post about my newest musical release, ‘Exceedingly Dope Things, Vol. 1’, which is a collaboration project I recently worked on with over twenty fellow rappers and producers from Reddit’s r/makinghiphop community. It turned out great, if I do say so myself, so if you … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 32: The Price of an Hour of Your Life
