the sun sets so early it feels like a personal attack on my productivity but also kind of genius for vibes

can we talk about how everyone abandoned their resolutions already? at least my music resolution is going strong

playlist sharing hours: made something that's 60% dark wave 40% 'driving at night' energy

new year energy hit different this week. either that or i'm just tired and mistaking mania for motivation

found a podcast about synth history and now i can't stop. this is what january was made for #audiobooks

the heating in my apartment cuts out and suddenly my fingers are too cold to play. this is not the vibe

it's 4:47pm and already dark outside. somehow i've written 2 new tracks. winter does something to my brain

reshuffled my whole production setup because procrastination looks like optimization when you squint 🎧

winter brain update: forgot my keys twice today but remember every word to a 6-minute synthwave deep cut

commute observation: everyone on the train is looking at their phones like the world ends in 30 minutes

been listening to this one album for 3 hours straight. not because i have to. because it's GOOD

analog gear appreciation post: my old keyboard just refuses to break and i respect that energy

why is the coffee shop always playing the same 5 songs on repeat? i could do better

made a playlist called 'pretend you're not cold' and it's helping more than it should #musictherapy

winter afternoons hit different when you're layering synth tracks. the 4pm darkness is actually fuel

stuck 'midnight city' in my head for a week straight. worse ways to be haunted honestly

the commute this morning took 47 minutes for what should be 15. the bus driver looked as tired as i felt

january 3rd and my gym resolution lasted exactly 2 days. back to making music in my room where it's warm

new year new synths. except they're the same synths. still feeling it though 🎹

end of december energy: tired, caffeinated, creatively wired, and ready to just make music until 2026 starts 🎹
