Then

I design video games for a living. Previously, I was...


Hallucinating


Dreaming of metal

  • Resuming RAV Vast courses and taking notes.
  • Doing once again some research on handpans, possibly to get one in the future.
  • Reading about the Pre-Columbian era.

Slapping metal

  • Finally managing to schedule my RAV Vast practice properly.
  • Getting an actual notebook made with actual paper to write down steel tongue drum exercises and related stuff.

Losing faith in humankind. Again.

  • Still working on ale. Slowly.
  • Feeling slighlty more distraught than usual by the state of the world.
  • Simultaneously loving and hating Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Drawing music maps

  • Starting that Kiasmos cover project. Learning a lot and having fun.
  • Developing a very simple music notation system to analyze tracks.
  • Identifying notes and chords by looking at a spectrum visualization.
  • Unexpectedly enjoying this sound dissection work.

Living in virtual capitalist hell

  • Thinking about recreating Kiasmos' debut album. I can't get tired of this masterpiece.
  • Being tricked into slavery by a shady raccoon in Animal Crossing.
  • Cooking Brussel sprouts.

Forgetting to udpate this

  • Not doing much, and not feeling like doing anything creative.

Watching plants grow

  • Resuming weight lifting after a two-week pause. I missed it badly!
  • Discovering the magic of owning a small terrarium.
  • Slowly building a minimal techno track. Very slowly.

On the road again

  • Listening to the Belarusian synth-pop band Molchat Doma
  • Disliking bodyweight workouts compared to weight lifting.
  • Enhancing my sleep hygiene.
  • Playing a lot of Conquest of Elysium 5.
  • Learning how to build full songs on the A4 + AR setup.

Healing

  • Switching to from weight lifting to a light bodyweight routine.
  • Looking into yoga for rest days.
  • Still trying to sort the mess out of my various projects.
  • Studying some Plastikman tracks.
  • Possibly finding some kind of musical direction.
