fishmonger is probably album of the year for me, so when @underscores put out the stems for it i knew i had to do something with them. here's a mashup remix featuring parts from kinko's field trip 2006, where did you fall, second hand embarassment, del mar county fair 2008, spoiled little brat, and there's a cover of the fish song on piano at the end. i had a lot of fun with this and if you're not familiar with the album i highly encourage you to go listen through it!

PANDARAGUPAN

All sounds made exclusively from each respective @bsterthegawd kit. Bought the kit bundle and decided to make this short project with it to get more familiar with each kit; highly recommend these!

ORBITAL

art by @solquiet

2022 has been a very challenging year for me. I've been dealing with a repetitive strain injury in primarily my right arm since mid-april that has had a large impact on my ability to produce and play instruments. This past summer and fall I've been in a negative feedback loop of my physical and mental health essentially dragging each other down, and I've not treated my body the best I could have during this period. Thankfully, I'm starting to see light at the end of tunnel and lately my arm has been doing a lot better. However, there's still a lot for me to figure out, and I need to hold myself accountable to heal my body and my mind the best I know how to. I just want to say that I'm so grateful to everyone that listens to my music and that I don't take any of you for granted. I haven't been as active as I'd like the past year with this project, and to be honest I'm in a pretty weird spot right now trying to figure out my next steps. But I'll figure it out and when I do I can't wait to share it with you all. Much love 🖤

lyrics:

red cross double doors passed through yeah
no going back gotta stay true yeah
change in the air can't say im not scared but i
find peace, in this moment im aware

im alone, in an empty room i call home
heart cold heart metal like chrome
blinked twice all a sudden im grown
feeling old, and im not really known

at least i got friends by my side
at least i can say that i've tried
things are looking up in my life
learning how take it all in stride

im alone, in an empty room i call home
heart cold heart metal like chrome
blinked twice all a sudden im grown
feeling old, and im not really known

im alone in a room i call home
heart cold heart metal like chrome
blinked twice all a sudden im grown
feeling old, and im not really known

life hit hard, sent me running
come apart, into fragments
gain perspective, open it up
growing pains, now im grown up

finding peace, not in judgment
in the passion, stress relief
finding balance in the grief
want to get there, new belief

and i can't say i have it all figured out
don't want my decisions to be shaped by clout
focused on emotion in art is my route
wish my path forward wasn't so roundabout

i dont need the internet to validate my art
i just want my music to be coming from the heart
maybe that's why i've been struggling so hard
the emptiness necessitates i find a new start

im alone, in an empty room i call home
heart cold heart metal like chrome
blinked twice all a sudden im grown
and i need to stop wishing i was known

at least i got friends by my side
at least i can say that i've tried
things are looking up in my life
learning how take it all in stride

blinked twice

It's been a minute, school has had me busy the past few months so I haven't been able to finish much of anything. Here's a thing inspired by https://soundcloud.com/prrrrrrr-records artists Scientific and Persian Empire.

This track would never have happened without the inspiration I got from Jon Hopkins, even though most of the track does not sound like his work.

Absolutely loved the original as soon as I heard it, and once I figured it out on piano it became really fun to play around with. https://soundcloud.com/quicklyquickly 's entire EP is inspiring and I suggest checking it out

Second time I've ever done juke/footwork and first time in ableton, I've been meaning to try it for a while. Definitely a cool genre that's worth exploring.
