Thanks for listening!

Battle Against the Overgrowth

'microtunes' is a collection of tracks written over the past year (with a few exceptions). this release originally contained over 30 tracks, but it has since been whittled down to a clean 26. each one is a distillation of my musical spirit. some are weird and complex, some are sweet and simple, some are straight up mean. all of them are me!


i have so much more music hidden away (mainly due to NDAs 💀). consider this release just the tip of the iceberg.

i have never felt more inspired to create, and that's in large part thanks to the digital fusion community. you've all contributed an immeasurable amount to my life and career. i have met some of my closest friends through this community the past few years. i'm not sure where i'd be without y'all.

as always, special thanks to the infernal abyss (adam, andrew, joey, matt, narek, nick) for their invaluable feedback and life coaching.

it's all appetizers, baby. bon appétit.

I just wanted to create a new song for my original patch that used in main melody like Melodyne! (with no external PCM)
Analog sync lead is came from Reface CS that was connected to EXT IN of MONTAGE.

Shoo Shoo!

Send & Recieve

3:46 am: God, I am so sick of being awake.

6:37 am: Just because you stop talking about things doesn’t mean everything’s okay.

An x-boss of mine and I would argue and argue about things. And we’d argue about the same kinds of things over and over again. Architecture, database modeling, how to reply to emails. Crap that was important for sure and some crap that wasn't.

For the longest time I would back down because he was my boss and I worked for him, even if I felt that he was in the wrong. He wasn’t the healthiest tool in the shed. Not saying that I am either but I do try in earnest to balance on the spiritual beam.

But somewhere along the way a switch flipped and I stopped caring about maintaining a happy, healthy relationship with that x-boss.

I heard on a podcast not long ago that “people typically don’t just snap, they slowly spiral down, and then eventually give up.”

Toward the end of my career with him, after we’d been arguing for a handful of minutes, we’d just stop. Because I wouldn’t back down when I thought he was wrong. And there would be no resolution or closure. Whatever difference we were having would just stay floating in the uneasy air, floating around the office like a fatalistic mist.

I can count at least three times I walked out during an argument with him, walked clear out of the office, shaking in anger. And it always almost infuriated me when he would come into work the next day and act like nothing was wrong. Blue skies abound. Like that nothing had happened, that the afternoon before we weren’t both red faced yelling.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m not the kind of person that can have a healthy relationship with someone if there isn’t closure. I know this stems from being too drunk and too passive for too long. I just can’t do it anymore. Untied shoes will trip me every time.

Yeah, I can get along, maintain peace, be professional but fuck me being cordial when someone’s being outright jerky. It’s not about carrying resentments either. It’s about setting healthy boundaries. It’s me not participating in somebody’s stubborn, close minded bullshit. It’s about keeping my distance because assholes abound.

If we don’t resolve our differences in the here and now, our personal connection will be broken. Not permanently, but presently. I subscribe to forgiveness and all that so I’m always willing to move forward with peaceful resolution.

And I don’t like admitting when I’m wrong for sure. But when it comes to relationships and people that I care about my pride isn’t that important.

It’s worth swallowing… 👍👍
