I googled a question about Digital Performer and google's automatic AI response gives me a video about Logic Pro alongside a screenshot from Ableton Live. 😂

I received this incredibly kind email from one of my subscribers on the clear other side of the world.

The fact that my music, writings, and videos has impacted anybody enough to reach out to me from halfway around the world is mind boggling!

I got a new wallet because this one reached the end of its lifecycle. I feel oddly sentimental about letting go of this thing that I’ve used every day now for years.

This week I crossed 5000 subscribers on my YouTube channel!

I've made it my goal to hit 10,000 subscribers by the end of 2025 and it feels great to be halfway to my goal at the halfway mark of the year.

Here's to the next 5k!

(Also crazy that I started the year with only 631!)

I’ve been practicing writing cozy game music for my reel and I really love the orchestration at the end of this track!

This shit is so funny to me out of context*

*in case you're wondering "Ping Pong" is a type of delay in which they delay from the left channel repeats on the right channel and vice versa

The sax is so good!!!

Funny enough, I’m working on a track called Spring Bloom. Are double singles a thing? 😂

Took my baby to see the 60 ft duck at Lumen Field. She was into it.

🤔 Ok what if you're making UK garage?

👀 But you're controlling synths with your voice?

👀 AND you're controlling cool vocal effects with your voice?

👀 AND it feels like the first warm day of spring?

☀️ I'm so excited to release the full track (hey, labels?)

Drum sampler is so good for creating glitchy chord stabs.
