Ibanez fretless test (old demo test song)

Exercising new guitar tones and experimenting with an idea, I decided to let myself get goofy like i was 16 again.

bad zelda techno temple remix lulzy i wasn't even trying to copy zelda and i still did

So a few days ago, i posted a clip of me playing a new idea I wrote. My friend Sherwin Chan Maxino really liked the idea so he helped me build up the idea into a more complete piece. The piece is called “Reflections Of The Current Field” and I think it felt aptly timed as I hit my 30th year of living, which is weird knowing I am that old. I think a few years back, I anticipated that at this point in my life, I would have that more stable, full grown, steady-into-career/married adult life that some of my fellow friends and family members had by the time they reached my age (or younger). Life…didn’t totally pan out that way for me, which to be completely human with you is frustrating sometimes. But also I recognize that not having those things is not the end of the world (which i’m sure many of my friends/family would in scolding manner, confirm). Truth is, I know that I have been blessed in this life and God or the powers that be have really given me way too many mulligans on this journey, and if age has taught me anything, I should not take those for granted.

Anyway, this song is reminder to myself that everyone’s journey is unique and we should grateful the opportunity we have to live it. The reminder to live with a sense of gratitude, because nothing is really ever guaranteed to last. This isn’t to deny the bout’s of negativity that life might bring either, those challenges are real and one has a right to feel every bit of those frustrations. But, it should never completely fog or remove us from knowing the gift that is this life we live.

I think the song has another part of a story that has to be shared, but for now this feels appropriate for it’s ending. Thanks of all those who wished me well, and I hope you enjoy the song. Here’s to embracing wherever the road takes us all.

Love

Alex.
