listening to this new artist and they're doing things with analog gear that i'm stealing for my next project. inspiration tastes like desperation

the sun sets at 4:45pm and somehow that's made me more productive? dark season energy is REAL

January goal check: i've kept some resolutions and abandoned others. that's just called being human i think

got stuck in traffic for 20 minutes and honestly didn't mind because my driving playlist is immaculate

there's something about producing music in winter that just feels right. maybe it's seasonal depression turning into art 🎧

finally finished this one track and it only took three weeks of second-guessing. that's basically world record speed for me

commute was chaos today. bus driver seemed personally offended by the snow. i relate to the bus driver

scrolling through old demos and some of them are actually... kind of good? maybe i was onto something in november

the weather forecast says more snow and i'm genuinely excited because that means i have an excuse to stay in and produce

why is january so LONG. also why am i productive at midnight but useless at noon

made a playlist of songs that capture that 3am winter vibe and honestly it slaps harder than it should #musicblog

learning this new synthesis technique and my brain hurts in the best way. analog understanding hitting different

winter commutes hit different when your earbuds are your only source of warmth and existential comfort

my coffee got cold while i was working and i didn't notice. that's how you know the session is going well

podcast rec if anyone's listening: there's one about the history of synthesizers and i've binged three episodes in two days

the cold makes everyone move slower on the street and it's actually kind of beautiful. like everyone's in a slow-motion music video

new year energy is wearing off and my resolution to practice every single day is looking... ambitious. being honest about it though

this song has been in my head for 4 days straight and i don't even like it. my brain is a broken record player 🎵

found my old vinyl collection while cleaning and now im spiraling about analog warmth vs digital precision. the debate never ends

just spent 2 hours tweaking one drum hit. my neighbors probably hate me. worth it though #synthwave
