worked on a song today

i worked on a song today. i was demoing an EQ plugin and while demo-ing it i happened to write some synth stuff that made me think of a vocal melody. realizing i also needed a synth-y track with super downer lyrics for the album, i just went for it. this track is really massive sounding and has a chorus that's pretty dang dynamic- i like how my shorter songs i make for videos are arranged so i tried to capture some of that more active production on a full track. since i was home alone i could sing the incredibly pathedgic (this is a portmanteau- can you guess what it means???) lyrics really loud and strained so that's fun. 

sometimes i just like to write dumb lyrics. my recent favorite was "you will never hear me in a restaurant" but unfortunately the song with that lyric was cut. i thought of it as i went to a restaurant that played a lot of rock music and i thought "i think i will never hear one of my songs played out loud like this". 

it's headphone music bro

the song is called "naught" i think. so far around 7 hours of work according to fl studio

on an artist's statement

As far as I know, It's sometimes expected of artists to explain themselves using an artist statement. To write something that explains them, their process, their topics, their worldview etc. I always thought that was weird. "Here's me- in a paragraph!". As of tonight, however, I think I can understand the value of this. I've always wrestled with my own image. I feel like I'm not how I picture myself. I can't tell you what I imagine myself to be, but I can tell you that I have a hard time accepting the way I am. To sum it up, I feel like I can't believe my own actions. They feel contrived- my speech patterns, my thoughts, my actions.  But all of those things are me, as crazy as it seems. There is no "second level" me waiting to be surfaced, a total transformation of myself. Instead, I simply am the person other people see. When it comes to my art, I deal with a lot of out-there concepts. My comic, Pearman, is about normal characters in wacky a...

2025 and DAYLOG SONGS

Image
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...

marbles roll- we all know that.             where do they roll? around. where ever they can roll. they will not sit still if they have to. maybe i should learn something from them... to be specific- they always try to go towards the ground. From high to low. i do not wish to copy that specifically. marbles get a thumbs up from me- especially when there's many of them rolling around.
