step by step tutorial

New music. Partly inspired by a book (Mindset, by Carol Dweck) and partly inspired by this picture

It started out as this

And I think it ended up sounding like a weird mix of these 2 songs

Sound Sketchpad

I am extraordinarily lazy. Which sucks not just for me because I can never finish anything to put up online, but also for anyone that might have wanted to hear my stuff... which I am aware may be exactly 0 people. Anyway, rather than conquer my laziness, I came up with a way to upload the works in progress since that seemed easier. So here it is, my sound sketchpad!

I'll be playing with the theme though because I'm not happy with how it looks yet... But hopefully more music & stuff finds its way online now! 

This will also be the place things go when they're too short/repetitive or I don't like them enough (like B sides) to put them on my real Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/570rm so there will be quantity not necessarily quality on the sketchpad.

every scar tells a story

here's a pretty basic/boring piano soundscape to accompany my musings :)

Lately I've been fascinated by scars. Each scar is uniquely yours and symbolizes a time when you were stronger than whatever challenged you. Your skin grew back tougher, thicker- marking you as braver than before. Scars are second chances and also an insight into the human who bears them. Chances are you remember the stories behind yours because they've made you who you are. 

So tell me, what are the best stories your scars tell?

i love you

Finish Line

take a deep breath
say it out loud
think about it now
and then stand down

Runner

A pretty basic piano melody with meaningless lyrics and layers added in garageband.

Lester

I actually uploaded something!! It's kinda cool even though it's really bad because I kept the video of me playing it attached to the final, edited sound... if that makes any sense. Or, you could just go watch it: https://vimeo.com/56136170 Just make sure you listen with speakers or headphones with nice bass- trust me, it matters.

So hopefully I'll keep doing stuff since I have a couple weeks off. I'm working on something else that might turn out- or might not, depending :) Until then, maybe you'll actually like this?
