In this episode, we explore what that means and how this saying can help us see where our energy is leaking, where we are getting pulled into drama, and how we are getting wet with what's going on around us. Ultimately what we choose to engage in uses our energy. Are you spending your…

A short, somewhat creepy guitar-arpeggio-centric near-instrumental. This one had a very long gestation time. According to my records the germ of it is from Dec 2020, but I think it took me some time to come up with the B section and I waffled about what to do with it lyrically for a very long time. Before today I had a notion about a longer lyric t…

Still messing around with the updated rig but trying to get more involved with melodies and overall arrangement. The DX7 and the Korg Monologue are both deadly for leads/melodies and FL Studio's famous Sytrus VST came in handy to provide a last-minute pad before exporting the final mix.
