It's been a while since I put something like this up, but I think that makes it more refreshing. 

This is a live jam I came up with today. Something I am always trying to do with my music is contemplate some of my own feelings through the sound. I think in this genre of techno, trance, EDM, whatever you want to call it, it is so easy to slip into the pattern of only making tracks that exist purely in a functional, dance floor orientated sense, something I'm quite guilty of. I don't think there's anything wrong with this but I also think that electronic music can be such an amazing medium for more than this, for real expression of personal emotions through the sound. 

With this track I tried to soundtrack my own emotions currently. I'm not doing so great at the moment (is anyone?). The changing of the seasons, darker days, and my own struggle with mental health and physical illness has culminated into one big lump of general sadness. This is absolutely not helped by the evil force of social media and the endless scroll. I feel like my career is in the hands of the algorithm, this omnipotent presence that I'm devoting hours of each day to pleasing. I miss my friends, people I don't see so much lately, because all I can do is scroll. 

However, I'm hopeful that things will change, because they always do, and I hope this piece of music reflects this. Today was good because I spent the afternoon making this track instead of scrolling on Tik-Tok for hours. This is a good start, and I think there will be more and more days like this. 

Feel free to download, this is my gift to anyone else wrestling the endless scroll at the moment. I know it may seem insignificant but it's something :)

Lots of love, 
Joe
