An Idle Brain and A Devil's Workshop.

Basically, there are many feelings that manifest within a warm, but tempered spirit and I think this would be a nice way to try and release some of the things that roam around in my head. For better, for worse.

Shout to Willow, the most inquisitive cat. Constantly calculating and figuring out how stuff works. I’m playing a show to night on drums with @rally.phl, hit us up for info on here or fb, or whatever the heck you use. #drums #groove #bigcymbals #crusher #infp #lighting #fun #angry #happy (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpu-tG9H2Ee/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=87n49wrt643y

I think I might permanently keep the rack tom out of the picture, It feels like I can focus a lot more without it honestly. #drums #beats #music #experimental #experiment #infp #4w5 (at South Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4Ph2lj091/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1esbk4z2u54xv

I want to take some time to talk about this amazing thing. I never named it, and I suppose I never thought I’d part with it. It’s going to a place in which I trust and know that it will be in the safe hands of a good friend. I bought this m13 6 years ago. I remember the mailman delivering the long awaited package at around 9pm. I was in anticipation for it all day at the time and I wanted to annihilate the mailman for such a late delivery and one after it was supposed to arrive no less. I cried, and then when all was said and done and I played my first notes through it, I cried again. It was the first time I felt like I owned something truly substantial that I could explore. The possibility alone that I could maybe explore its inner depth for forever made me so happy. That rings true today still. I’ve not even uncovered whole sounds that this gem can produce. It’s accompanied and guided me to playing with some of the most amazing artists over the years, and despite some of its flaws(footswitches), it’s importance in my life can never be understated or under appreciated. Common sense folk will say it’s just a pedal so it’s not a big deal, but I’m not really concerned with that rhetoric, to be honest. This item is the closest thing I have ever had to a child, and like all children, at a point it it becomes time for a parent to let go of. Thank you for everything dear friend. May intuition guide you in your travels, and may you find a home on the board of someone who will love you as much as I do. :,) -ant https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrQs-CFZzS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mp7gupppkohf

Sampling is so goddamn fun! I can just throw up everything on one track in kontact and get a vibe and just go to town on that sound. ______ #samples #horns #bass #drums #drumbreaks #basement #recording #fun #collab #comeover #sessions #keyboard #midi #extravaganza #soundscapes #instrumental #audioengineer #producer (at South Phila) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmxZEG5gHv8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lw93woaq1pgx

Sitting in bumper car by myself, I’m feeling good and of confidence, but paralleled I want to cry from apathy and loneliness-in a defunct bumper car. I got tater tots and a one and I’ve had a very long week.

Just a little improvisation. Superimposed here and there, sometimes it works, sometimes ambition reveals limitations.

So I’ve been filling in for this project calmly Rally Point. They’re a bunch of really cool people, and they really care about the music they make, for themselves, individually. It’s feels natural and not contrived, controlling, or demeaning in any way and it’s really nice. Thank you @jonahclydesdale , thank you @lucas_from_band ! As the summer nears its end, I will be going back to school for software engineering and psychology, hopefully with an emphasis on research. I love exploration of the mind, I love computer technology, and I love learning about and understanding human behavior. I wanted to say thank you especially to @annacrusis8, for asking me to work on the Rally. Ep, and playing with me, and musing on things with me, introspecting on things, and just being you. You’re fucking awesome.
