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

NEWEST RELEASE: ‘back to the beats’ vol. 1 (2011) (500 WORDS, DAY 5)
This is the third edition of my ‘back to the beats’ series, the medium I’ve finally chosen to get all of my rap beats out, meaning beats of mine that have a rap track structure, usually consisting of an intro, a couple verses and hooks, and an outro section. I have way too many dope beats just sitting on my hard drive since I don’t really rap as often as I produce, beats dating all the way back to 2011 when I was only 17, and listening back on them it just felt like a shame to keep them all only for myself to listen to.
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 1 (1000 WORDS: 3rd attempt)
1000 Words, Day 1 once again. My last post of the 1000 Words a Day series was Day 81, back in August of 2019, so it's been three years! Wow, time sure flies by. I hope I can stay on track and keep on writing for a much, much longer consecutive period of time this … Continue reading DAY 1 (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.
