3 tracks - who will finish first?

Hi all — it's been a minute since I posted. It feels silly sometimes posting here, since I know exactly who can read — so I figure sometimes I'm telling y'all things you already know.

EARLY RELEASE: Your Journey Will Not Be Illuminated By My Radiance

Good morning 🥰

If you read my last post, then you already know I don't know exactly when this song is coming out. The inclusion of "Glory Box" might delay things a bit (EDIT: Glory Box won't be included on this release — wasn't approved), because it's a cover — but hopefully it will still be out before the end of the month.

new release, "your journey..."

It's been a week.

It's been a few weeks, actually. I mean, it's been a life but these past few weeks have been hard.

Mixing/mastering suckage

I hate this part.

There is a never-ending supply of dudes out there who will only too excitedly tell me how i *should* do this part, but my eyes glaze over when they start talking about compression ratios and out of phase tracks and gain staging.

Getting going again

Hi all,

I've always been bad about documenting my process. Weirdly, the fact that I've gone silent the past few days was a good sign, because i *have* been working.

False starts 😳

I've been having trouble writing new material lately.

I haven't written a new song or lyrics since about August, and I'm not even sure that project is going anywhere. It's a pretty basic punk-protest song and it may just be too fast for me to play drums on (plus i've never been 100% happy with the lyrics) 😅

Glorby blox

I started typing the title and failed — decided to go with it. Fits the mood 🤣

I'm actually literally having trouble typing today. I'm not sure why. Yesterday was rough — even though on the whole the day was a "win" for me, it was still emotionally exhausting. I don't know if I've written about it here, but it was the day of the renewal hearing for the restraining order against my ex. One year and two weeks after the first order.

A work in progress...

Hi all!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰

Since you've all been so good as to pay for the access to >> whatever it is I'm giving here << 🤣 I thought it might be fun to see something I'm working on. This song (and a few others) have been brewing for a few months now.
