Child of the 80s and 90s
I did a synthwave over of this punk song by frick (abandcalledfrick.bandcamp.com/track/you) and I refused to do another vocal or guitar take, so this is just how it's going to be.

With the proliferation of AI music, the most immediate response that I can think of is to embrace imperfection, because it doesn't get any more human than that.

I think there's a balance to be struck between trying to master your craft and breaking the rules. You don't need to be perfect.

I just saw a post that said that everyone has a sandwich that they think about for the rest of their lives. I was like, "no" but I realized I do.

It was an eggplant parmesan that a girl at a bar didn't finish and just gave to me. I was drunk but I remember how good it was. This was decades ago.

Walking through the nearly-deserted downtown tunnel system while listening to Beach House has easily been the highlight of my week.

I've been sitting on this for a while, but a prominent Synthwave brand featured one of my tracks earlier this year. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but - as far as I can tell - I am the ONLY one that they have ever used generative AI visuals for when putting up the video.

What's up with that?

30+ projects in production, some from the start of the year, and I suddenly hate every single one of them. Maybe it's just been too much time since I really learned and tried to apply something new.

Might sound weird, but I've never been the kind of person to say that I couldn't live without music. Still, sometimes it's all that's there.

I don't exactly love dubstep - don't hate it, just don't love it, either - but this is one of my favorite music videos of all time, and you can probably see why by the neon retro aesthetic.

Thanks a ton for the add @isidor.rs! Really great collection of tracks, too, I gotta say!

Yo @pashang.bandcamp.com , I told you we gotta remove most of our own tracks. You’re not listening, man 😜. Nepotism stays at the bare minimum. Two of ours is fine, but not more than that.
Anyway, guys, Playlist is getting daily updates now, so hit follow if you want fresh synthwave every day.

I don’t promote my Spotify links anymore because the company is evil.

But you can still hear my tunes on YouTube!

I’ve got music to listen to when driving, running, sex, working, studying, gardening, cooking,
bathing, 420ing, goonin‘, washing dishes, and more!
