Lots of flavours on this one. Medieval castles, the Arctic, bling money, outer space, dreamy perception...

Oh, and the album cover was made with Microsoft Paint and PhotoFiltre. Freeware for the win! 😎 🎨

Why I Enjoy Creating Music

I'm not sure there's another activity I find as immersive as creating music.

I enjoy other solitary activities like reading and walking. However, I'm a slow reader and feel burnt out after a page or two. With walking, I often appreciate the feeling of motion and the transitory appearances, but going down the same old inevitable paths can feel very boring.

However, with making music, I feel as far away as possible from worries and distractions. There's a lightness to it that I don't find in other activities.

Deepspace5 Verse Remix

Had some fun a couple weeks ago remixing one of my favourite rap verses. This is Manchild's part from "If Tomorrow Starts Without Me" by Deepspace5, taken from their 2002 album, The Night We Called It a Day. 

This is not an official remix, anything commissioned by the artist, etc., to be clear. I just made it in my spare time on a Sunday evening via Band-in-a-Box and Ableton Live 11 Intro.
