Happy 2023!

One of my new year’s resolutions is to write more in this journal thing.

I have still been working on making new songs, but I have changed my strategy a bit. For now, I’ve stopped doing cover songs and I’ve just, instead, been doing original songs. Another thing that I’m doing is changing, once again, how I release the songs. Instead of immediately putting them up on my Bandcamp as singles, I’m trying to actually gather them up into an album/LP before I officially publish them. That way, they’ll appear to the public as a collection of songs rather than just a single. That approach makes more sense to me, personally, because releasing a song before it appears on a record basically familiarizes someone with the song before the actual album drops, and once the album itself actually finally drops, it’s just possibly at least a little bit boring.

Anyways, happy new year! Crazy how time flies.

Happy 2020!

I am happy to have made it to 2020. I’m imagining that you made it here too if you’re reading this. This blog is mostly about my art and music production and to keep people up to date on that. I have been basically really bad at keeping up this website and for that I apologize. I hope to do something pretty cool with it this year though if all goes well.

I am sorry if this writing is a bit inconsistent but I am listening to a Sherlock Holmes novel on audio book as I type this so it’s actually a bit hard to think. I have been drawing a lot in Photoshop and trying to have fun doing that, but I do want to do things like complete this kids book called Spark Barks at Sharks that KEXP DJ Troy Nelson wrote (and that I’m illustrating). I want to make a comic book too.

Other than that I’m making a video game called Rocker Beast about a flying dog and trying to finally produce another album of songs. OK more soon! Sorry to be so scattered in words and thought. Take care, thank you for reading this.

Lazy Sunday

Today I went for a drive and shopped at a couple thrift stores. The weather is nice in Seattle today, which is good because it's been so bad for so long. 

I want to work on my music more. I have to go back and work on a lot of old recordings. My most recent songs are okay, some better than others. The thing I seem to have the most trouble with is the lyrics. 

I've been trying to eat better and exercise more. I ate at the Salvadorian Bakery in Seattle today which was good but yeah, I'm trying to cut out carbs I think so hmmm.

For the past few days I've been working on an After Effects compositing project for school. I think I've been working on it too much but whatever.

New song out

I released a new song through my Bandcamp. When I was using Photoshop to put the image for the song together the default name for the template example read "I AM ON VACATION." I thought that it would be funny to just simply keep that caption and so I let THAT become the song's title.

I did write lyrics for this song but no matter what, I felt that the song would probably be worse with lyrics.

So to make a long story short, I'm getting pretty close to having an entire L.P.'s worth of songs and I have the intention to sell that L.P. digitally as soon as the thing is finally complete.

So, yeah! Here's the song:
