Building a creative life.

Closing Site

I'll be closing this blog, because I'm not really using it and its costing me NZ$35 a month, which I think is a bit high. I will be making music, but I don't know what. But now that I'm studying music,

The Future

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about where my creative energy is going. For the last few years, music has been a big part of my identity. It’s been a coping mechanism, a passion, and honestly a way of trying to turn pain into something beautiful. And I

Burden

I feel like making music that has no meaning at all.

Evolution

Hey — how’s it been going? Things have been pretty quiet here lately. I’ve been doing some gaming, but not a huge amount, and mostly my head’s been elsewhere — thinking about the music. I haven’t been playing Warcraft. I’m not happy with where about a third

Revolution etc

Well, viewership continues to be down due to Gmail categorizing my blog as promotional. I gotta say, I'm pretty pissed off about this. I used to think well of Google, by the standards of a tech giant. But they've been going downhill, IMO. They recently banned

Last night and today

I set up an addon on WoW called Console Port, which changes the user interface to make WoW playable with a controller. Considering how complex WoW is, this is no small feat and I spent all of last night setting it up. But its a total pleasure to play now

'Love Song' returns and more

Well, its been a turbulent few days. Out of My Mind was a 9 minute song with a 2 minute mellow outro, but while working on the outro, I decided the outro was better than the rest of the song by a lot. So, I turned the entire song into

Happy New Year

No lyrics today. I thought about it, but decided not to. I do hope you liked the lyrics I posted on Christmas Day, though — Spinning on a Rock is very important to me. It was one of the first songs I wrote after coming out of my most recent psychosis,

'Love Song' pulled from EP

A few days ago I posted the current track list of the EP. Today, I’m updating it: Love Song has been pulled, and replaced by a new track that does not yet exist. Love Song was running behind, which was fine — everything else is moving strongly. But when I

'Bitch' explained

Bitch is an interesting song to me, and something of a loaded one, so I thought I'd explain it today. After about a year of studying Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal and earning my top 0.5% of listeners badge, I randomly decided one day that it was time

Let the good times roll

Things have been going really well lately. I've not been doing nothing but making music, but things have been going really well. I mixed down and mastered (via eMastered.com) 4 songs from the 7 I'm going to release, and have been listening to those high

Merry Christmas

Spinning on a rock I don't give a fuck, no I'm just looking for a hit And some reason and rhyme to it Welcome to the Earth Come and hit this shit, yeah Life ain't nothing but a dream And nothing is what it
