So it's been a bit quiet over here for the last few months but that's just because I've been on an absolutely massive writing spree. At some point during 2023 I started grafting electronic components into my music and it's been like pouring gas onto what was already a pretty raging fire, I've been writing new music like an absolute madman for a while now.

I'm up to 13 tracks in various states of development for the new album, most of them being pretty far along. It's to the point where the overall character of the album has shown itself and goddamn I'm excited to put this thing out. This has got to be my favorite collection of music I've ever made and adding electronic and hip hop elements has really felt like coming home, musically speaking. I feel like I've come closer to where I want my sound to be with this album than ever before.

Anyway enjoy this new track "Dismal", and there is SO much more to come.

Dismal [NEW FOR 2024]

It was difficult for me to change this song and stay true to its spirit. I hope I can gain your like.

Şarkının ruhuna sadık kalmaya çalıştım. Umarım beğeninizi kazanabilirim.

In my "blue betamax" music style/persona = retro 90s soundtrack. https://chromaluna.bandcamp.com/track/azure-thought-night-drops BLUE BETAMAX AND THE NIGHTCHROME MNEMONIC is dedicated to all you neurospicy folk. These songs are about the recovery of memory and acceptance of the whole self, working through past trauma, and love for self just as you are - even those cringe parts or memories you might have hated for forever. In this album I resurrect and remix songs I composed in my youth that have been buried for about 20 years, because growing up poor meant I never had proper equipment or software to make musical compositions really live in the digital verse.

And then later in life, maybe some of us (myself included) have to do the hard work of coming off of meds your family said were "necessary", or from multiple forced hospitalizations. Rediscovering these emotions are difficult; they are yours, your own, no one can take them from you, but maybe like me you get to deal with things like low emotional regulation/outbursts/anger/depression and sensory issues because you were never given the opportunity to grow your own goddamn brain-nerves and skills naturally, outside your medication. 

So often family of neurospicy ppl with less IQ or emotional intelligence will not understand you were just gifted, or had autism, or were highly sensitive, empathic, add, bipolar, etc; and needed extra support. So often the educational system fails people like us simply because they don't know better brains exist.

It's easy for other ppl to say "oh we all go through this" but man, youth is rough and all strength to you guys going through your teens, 20s. early 30s. 

But life really does get better, the brain eventually calms down and gets on your own team for the most part, your intrusive thoughts stop harassing you all day, and you find some peace. Just live your life for yourself. Find healthy ways to express your emotions like walking, art, music or sports. Don't live by anyone else's standards than your own. Support yourself through self-care and honest friends.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Take your own advice and take it seriously, with a grain of salt from the good people in your life. Hang on and tomorrow will be a better day.

We are Built Different.

This is my gift to you,
that anything is possible in all universes,
it is what the recovery of memory means to me,
may your emotions and mind be friendly to you yourself
and always on your side.

With chill factor and love,

part of my latest album: BLUE BETAMAX AND THE NIGHTCHROME MNEMONIC, my first effort at mixing piano playing with a proper MIDI device, my first one in fact: an M-Audio 88 Hammer Pro weighted keyboard. 

The album features a retro 90s soundtrack/ambient/chill vibe inspired by the music of my youth, such as Enya (yes I grew up with her music), my piano lessons, Loreena McKennit, and the random music I came up with on my silly 48-key tiny keyboard I had to keep on my bed because I didn't have a stand, or enough room, in my room, as a teenager.

Šota (Shota) is a traditional folk song with its origin in former Yugoslavia. It was publicized back in 1976, though, the piece is expected to be much older. The speed of 190 to even 225 bpm and the upbeat, melodic nature of the composition is tempting to move along with, and to this day, people still dance to it on celebrations and gatherings. Throughout the years, countless versions and styles have emerged.
This is one of them, ENJOY!
