 I want to write in this blog more because I wish to write more in general. I keep track of when I walk along to ambient music on my rate your music . Normally the entries are only one sentence long, but I think this could be a good opportunity to write what is on my mind more. Here's the entry:   5/8/25. I took a walk and listened to Brian Eno's Music for Airports. A friend reminded me that it's been a while since I had done this last. I wanted something under an hour- a lot of ambient stuff spills out to luxurious lengths, and I didn't wish to walk that long. I started walking at sunset, going up and down a hill, down to a park, and then looped back on a different road back home. Track 1/1: This accompanied me up and down the hill. On the way up, my thoughts were scattered and fairly sparse. I thought about my game. Near the top of the hill, a teenager tore down the road. I micro-jumped in surprise. Finally at top of the hill, looking at all of the hills and houses, I...

 "Audio documents" is my new monthly series of music, replacing the DAYLOGS project. Goodbye, DAYLOGS. So far, I've put out two Audio documents. The playlist link is here . The newest track as of writing this is here:       With the title "Audio document" I wanted to expand beyond just doing songs- Integrating recorded sound, playing more with audio, and making things more abstract and freeform. I haven't done very well with that so far, especially with this second entry, but hey, there's 10 more opportunities to experiment! And I like this new one. On both of the new tracks, however, I have already been far more loose than usual when it comes to structure and sound. I'm trying to focus on auditory atmosphere and mood, and trying to break off of making my music sound "gridlike". When you work in a DAW, it's very easy to just align everything to the grid, and as a result things can feel very mechanical. I'm also being a lot free-er w...

 A while back, a local record store moved locations to nice big building. I started going there more often as a result, and got into the habit of buying wonderful CDs. I play them in my car. I like letting them run sequentially. I like that when I turn the car off, it just resumes where from where it stopped. I like when they loop over again. I like letting people who get in my car pick a CD to play. I try to buy CDs that I'm not that familiar with- It's fun to surprise myself with an album and sink into it. Listening to music while driving is great because it's one of the few times I get to listen without headphones. It feels like I engage more with the music. Sometimes I enter a trance like state where it just flows over me. Should I be in a trance while driving? I like that used CDs are cheap. It's fun to flip through the packaging. CDs are Good! Let's see CDs. I've organized them into groups, and put a threshold filter on them because I think it will look ni...

2025 is off to a bad start. I'm pretty wrecked by the world, which seems at odds with my understanding of "good". It's hard to be motivated to do anything. I have to do stuff anyways. Today, I released the DAYLOG SONGS 2024 album or EP or whatever. Each month I took a phrase from the previous, wrote a short song, and made a video. It started way quicker than it ended- Especially the songs, which were tweaked on and off for about a week sometimes. Here's assorted thoughts: Most of the songs are from negative thoughts! I used these songs to cope, I guess. The saddest song is "what's to say?" I think the dominant mood of the project is Wistful. The first four songs are kind of a lie- I wrote those and made videos for those all in the month of April, I think. I only realized this was a good idea around then. At least I started before halfway through the year! There was no overarching genre or style of music- I did what I felt like, similar to SPLIT WHOLE...

i'm waiting for a scene to render for a new music video that i will release for my album, so i'll write a blog post. i've been recording little videos where i talk about something for my websitre recently- i got the urge out of nowhere the exact instant i was googling munchy boxes. i've been trying to pinpoint exactly why i wanted to do this. after all, this site is nothing but a bunch of crap i've made why would i pollute it even more? see here WELL! in my scramble to justify this as something other than an lampshading* an ego trip i have come up with the following reasons. This is going to be like dissecting a frog and looking at all of its innards in grotesque 4K footage.

 it's been so long since i sat down and wrote a blogpost! it's currently 3:14 as i write this. i'm just going to write a bunch of short things here: unconfidence is generally looked down upon. than being said, i will now confidentially express my unconfidence. hopefully this paradox works in my favor. i've been thinking about my future for a while now. it's hard to see the future. tonight i opened elden ring a bit because the new dlc came out. i didn't get the new dlc. as i was playing it, i came up against a boss. it was at redmane castle i think. i realized that i was not having fun and i had no interest in trying to get better at the game. i've been working on a new game. i made multiple attempts at recording a development video for it but ultimately didn't get anything out of it. there's some sort of gap between the person i think i am and the person that i see on the recordings. it happens to my writings too- almost everything i write seems alie...
