I challenged myself to make an EP in one weekend, and the results are in. I'm happy to announce a new EP, which you can find on Bandcamp. Check it out in the player embedded below cause you're a cool human being!

So, last night in Auckland tonight. I had my interview for the audio engineering course today.
The interview on the campus today went great, and I think I've got my foot in the door! As surprising as it was, it was a lot easier than I was expecting. The person I talked to was really nice and she guided me through everything super well. In addition to having the interview, I also got a full tour of the very small campus grounds. The studios are way cool. They even let you go in and use them for personal projects after hours until a certain time in the evening (so you will catch me in those booths most of the time outside of school and work). My interviewer seemed like she was pretty enthusiastic about me getting the green flag to get accepted in too, so woohoo!
After that, I went to the waterfront in the city and made a short little thing that probably won't see the light of day past its current version, which you can download with the link below.
I'm going back up home tomorrow morning.
Things are changing very soon. Bring it on.
Yesterday, I traveled down to Auckland because today I have an enrollment interview for the audio engineering course I've applied to do. I'm sort of in two states of mind about it though, as a lot of reviews for the place seem to suggest it's a massive waste of money for things that you can learn on your own.
Gotta go, actually. I will update this blog on how it goes later
It's 5pm and I just woke up from a well-deserved 3 hour sleep, which occurred after staying up all night in town shooting shit. My brain feels like it's on a baseline operation. It would have probably been better had I just stayed awake until it's night time again, but my body couldn't fight the weariness. So maybe it's a good thing?
As the title of this post suggests, everything feels very different. I had a recreational trip on peyote last night (and threw ALL of it up 40 minutes after ingestion), but this time felt different from the last time I had it. I had a pretty magnificent trip just about a year ago now, it was a whole lot more intense though as I took a bunch more than I did last night. I think the difference in last night's trip was probably the sheer joy of having spent all of it with my friend talking. I was definitely in the right headspace and I think that the peyote amplified that.
We spent most of the night just talking and reminiscing about when we first became friends and all the different eras we've been through in between then and now. It kinda put the fact that I'm only in this town for a little while longer into perspective for me. It feels strange now.
Peyote side note: On top of throwing it all up onto the ground, it also tastes absolutely disgraceful. Imagine alcoholic spew with a generous amount of aerosol residue. There you go.
Here is a screencap of the project file for some remixes I made with a friend's music. You can check his music out on his Bandcamp here.
These tracks will be coming out on Sunday. Woohoo!
Hello
I've been very inactive under this name for the past three years or so. In that time I've been playing drums in bands and focusing on a whole lot of other shit that's been happening both in my personal life and including musical expeditions. However, recently I've decided to come back to electronic music production. It's been a LONG time since I was last fully active with the old tools, Ableton Live and whatnot, so I am a bit rusty. Anywho, I have a track that I made with a guy over Instagram (of all places?) that you can download and listen to here.
What's been happening in your life
I am a new adult, having turned eighteen a week ago and I am finally done with school FOREVER!. Unless you count an audio engineering course that I'm moving to the cityy to do in a few months. Aside from that though, I am the grey middle area between mundane ordinary life and the big amazing change that's about to happen to me once I move away. I have no idea how anything is going to even pan out, all I want to do is music, which I hope is in some way something I get to do on a consistent basis. In today's day and age, it's near impossible to make music for a living. Especially my music. I'll kick through it though. Something will happen one day.
What are you working on
I just got out of school, so at the moment I am COMPLETELY FREE to work on anything and create anything. I'm attracting collaborative energy where it can fit in my life for this small window of time I get to just chill out before the hustle begins.
Anywho, this is where I will be posting somewhat regular updates and rambles about my life. Someone may read this, or not. Who knows.
