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 83: Spontaneous Writing. Life Keeps Going.

I’m a person. I’m a human being. I love life. Life is hard. Hard things are often worth doing. Life is a challenge, but it’s a blessing to get to live it. I don’t know what to write about, so I’m writing random facts down. I like writing. I think there’s a reason for my … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 83: Spontaneous Writing. Life Keeps Going. →

500 WORDS, DAY 82: Blessings in Disguise: Take Nothing for Granted

I’ve always been fairly healthy throughout most of my life. Although overall that’s still the case, and I’m extremely grateful for that, this year has been slightly different than every other year I’ve lived through so far. Towards the end of 2023 I started getting all kinds of symptoms of what I eventually realized was … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 82: Blessings in Disguise: Take Nothing for Granted →

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. For one, my wife and I completely rearranged our bedroom/home studio setup in order to optimize it for maximum efficiency, such as being able to control everything with everything else in the studio, as … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 81: Writing & Life Recap →

500 WORDS, DAY 79: Melancholy Moments

Some moments are just too painful to even write about, to even attempt to contemplate or describe. Sometimes all you feel like doing is sitting there, not moving or saying a word, and staring blankly into space, simply because completely disappearing just isn’t an option. We all come face to face with moments when everything … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 79: Melancholy Moments →

500 WORDS, DAY 78: Music Machines and Materialism

It’s been so weird these past few years really getting into the world of synthesis and music gear, because for so long I was always so against materialism and so convinced that it is ruining society. To be honest, my opinions haven’t really changed too much since then, but I guess I’ve just become okay … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 78: Music Machines and Materialism →

500 WORDS, DAY 77: Motivation & Inspiration Meet

Day 77 of this writing experiment and I still struggle with a lot of the same obstacles I faced when I first started this. I’ve written a lot about the waves that hit me oh so often that I barely find time to truly dive into one thing before the next fascination comes along. I … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 77: Motivation & Inspiration Meet →

500 WORDS, DAY 76: Happiness

I always thought happiness was something that could be complicated, but which didn’t necessarily need to be. These days however, I’m starting to think that the uncertainty and what some might call overall absurdity of life, perhaps do create a world in which happiness unfortunately does have to be complicated. Maybe that’s the way it … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 76: Happiness →
