hey, just wondering
how work on the
new album is going?
do you have
a working title?
i can’t imagine what
it will sound like
“everything is
impossible
until it is done”
i check a lot
on bandcamp
and have yet to find
anything near your style
but it’s also mine
i call it neonhouse
spectral art
that goes off in any
direction imaginable
true freedom
of expression
what’s family life like?
my wife got pregnant
but did an abortion
in the 7:th month
otherwise she and the
baby’d been dead…
the fetus was eating
her from the inside
i was so happy
called her
babygirl
all the time
(now i just
call her baby)
and wrote and
created a lot
to her
incredible
presence
she’s made me
grow so much
blossom
as she says
as a person
as an emphatic being
and as an artist
and just by accepting me
and my faults
and loving my wonders
like no-one else ever
we must be twinflames
my wife even said i
should start a podcast
now i’ve created
sixteen episodes
with generative music
in the background
and reverb on
that dull speech!
i still listen to your works
though now it’s mostly
all flacs put on shuffle
though i shift towards lofi
chillhop & dreamstep
Thanks for the message. New album’s coming along quite well. I have about 15 tracks mostly finished, plus many more in progress. Now that it’s getting close to completion I’ve been trying to coalesce the subconscious ideas into a unified theme. I think I’m going to try to finish one or two more and then attempt some mixing and mastering to the best of my ability.
Work and family life have kept me predictably busy as usual. My family’s doing fine, everyone’s tired of being stuck at home due to the pandemic, but certainly feeling fortunate that we’re all in good health and my wife and I are able to continue working.
Very sorry to hear about your wife and child, that sounds like an awfully traumatic experience. I hope you’re both doing okay and that you’ve been able to find some solace in music and creative expression.
I read your review of “Observer” – it’s both motivating and humbling to know there are listeners like yourself who take the time to listen deeply and understand my music well. Not to mention, taking time to write out a thoughtful response! Really appreciate it. Day-to-day it often feels like I’m creating in a vacuum, so it’s heartening to hear that my little contributions to the vast sea of electronic music on the internet reached someone who listened and understood and felt something too.
