HIIII
long time no see! it's been about 3.5 months since my last upload but it's because a lot has happened in my life... the song first though! I made this one roughly two weeks ago in a few days; originally titled oblivion (inspired by @andrewismusic) i set out to make a weird beat in 9/4 but ended up going all sorts of directions. my music is best when i'm not afraid to just follow my intuition and really work on ideas i usually stray away from. i tend to make excuses ESPECIALLY when it comes to imitating genres with real instruments, so the soul section of this track is a proud moment for me. the whole thing was just so much fun to work on and that's what matters... relearning to love the process of producing is something i feel like i do every week, so it can be kind of exhausting, and yet it is always so deeply satisfying to work through. OH AND OF COURSE THE WATER SECTION THAT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING!!! i'm so happy with how it's turned out, this track is EASILY my best in terms of mixing and sound design even if it's a bit goofy (:

in terms of life a lot has happened! it's been kind of a whirlwind moving to boston, being with gracie, hanging with my friends and more. trying to find a job has been really challenging, and i've def had a lot existential questions weighing on me regarding my nose, eyes, future, and general lack of energy... but i'm taking it one step at a time and not letting those things get in the way of enjoying where i'm at and what i'm capable of right now. while i want a lot of long term improvements right now, i'm doing so much better than i was a year ago and that's what matters. i wish i could be more specific but it's simply too much to fit the last 3 months of my life (which have been beautiful and crazy and weird) into one song... i should upload more often!

i have a backlog of small tunes to upload here, most of them in the same vein as this one, and nothing i feel super attached to conceptually... but i'm continuing to improve a lot as a producer and i'm having fun with it. that's what matters most!

catch ya later,
