If there’s one thing I’ve been doing for a long time, and that I enjoy and know how to do, it’s listening to music. I’ve been a longtime listener of music of all genres by all kinds of artists. Sometimes I listen to random albums, but mostly I listen to artists’ full discographies from beginning … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 130: A Hip-Hop Legend

500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
There’s something about the whole process that comes with working with audio hardware, which includes connections of all kinds going back and forth to and from different places, each one with its own specific function, all working together to create something new, blending together in so many infinitely different and unique ways, making the possibilities … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
500 WORDS, DAY 101: Separating Art & Artist?
I always knew that the entertainment world was probably full of weirdos, and to be honest that didn’t surprise me because, as an artist, I find myself pretty weird as well, and I can tell that a lot of artists are very unique people who like to make their own rules. I’ve previously written about … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 101: Separating Art & Artist?
500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)
Apathy. Sometimes I can’t be bothered to think too much. Thinking is good. Thinking and thinking is interesting. Thinking and thinking and thinking is fascinating, but just when do we cross the line into overthinking? Overthinking is exhausting. It’s relative though. What’s overthinking to me might not be for you. Who knows. We all have … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 96: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 2)
500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics
Yesterday I wrote about the great extent in which hip-hop and its culture influenced me when I was a lot younger, even if not always positively. That influence has been with me up to this point, but just recently it’s starting to really feel like my mind and personality have changed enough that I can … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 93: Growing Up: Hip-Hop, Psychedelics
500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
I have changed a lot over the years. There’s a lot I’d like to do that I haven’t accomplished yet, and there are a lot of changes I am still struggling to make, but I can definitely say I am happy with some of the changes I’ve implemented in my life up to this point, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
500 WORDS, DAY 86: Today: A Moment in Time.
Here I am once again. Drinking a cup of iced coffee while writing for today’s post. Listening to Hiroshi Yoshimur’s ‘Green’ album. I’ve been listening to a whole bunch of ambient music I never knew existed during the past few years, and it’s really become one of my favorite musical genres. There are so many … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 86: Today: A Moment in Time.
500 WORDS, DAY 85: Life as a Blog Post
Writing. Stream of consciousness Part 2. Don’t overthink it. Get the words on the page. Each letter has a life of its own. It forms a part of a family. Its family is the word it is a part of. Except it doesn’t grow. It stays in its place, as part of its family. Its … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 85: Life as a Blog Post
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 81: Writing & Life Recap
Day 81. A lot has changed since I started this endeavor on Day 1, which was July 1st of this year.
