moussa!

A question I’ve always struggled to answer, but it’s fine I’ve been having a pretty good time trying.

I thinking of using this blog as an extension of that process.

So how about we figure it out together? :)

Enjoy!

hopefully i’ll find time to make something new!

So to avoid doing, that, I’ve been trying to create more. As well as sharing what I’ve created with the world. It doesn’t matter to me whether I’m skilled at articulating it as long as there’s people willing to try to listen.

Anyways, I’ve made some progress on the song I’ve been working with on LSDj. Thought I’d share.

Things are getting interesting…

I don’t want anything more to be able to put out music that resonates with people, no matter how few. I want to share a song I made. It’s more of a proof of concept than anything; something that’ll help me get a grasp of what exactly I’m trying to create.

I’ve already shared some of what I’ve been working on with LSDj and now I’m sharing this. I’m thinking it might be fun to document my musical progression on here. One, for record keeping, and two, to have perspective on how far I’ve come.

Deal?

Recently, I’ve been really inspired to create. I want to put out art of some kind and the medium that spoke the most to me was music. I’ve been playing guitar for a couple of years now so I could potentially make music that way. However, I want to challenge myself so I decided to try to get into LSDj.

I haven’t spent too much time with it yet, but I’ve read a little of the manual and have learned enough to at least get a little melody going.

It’s nothing crazy, but I wanted to share.

Wish me luck on my music making journey.

— Lorde

Listen, I’m not going to pretend like I know much about Lorde or anything, but I get a sort of cathartic release from knowing I’m not the only one who feels like they’re running out of time. I think it might be my innate drive to survive that brings this underlying fear of running out of time; I am only human after all.

Even if I don’t make a huge impact, I want to at least do something meaningful with my life. And this desire has only magnified as I transition from adolescence to adulthood. I’ve spent so much time consuming, only passively engaging with the world, and that’s no way to live. Actively engaging with the instruments life has to offer is more fulfilling. That’s why I’ve decided it’s time for me to start creating.

However, there’s so much more going on in my life now. Sometimes, I feel like I’m always being pulled every which way when balancing school, work, and friendships. I haven’t quite been able to blend the three faucets of my life harmoniously yet.

But, I won’t let that stop me. My dream is to create content that resonates with people in a way they haven’t experienced before. In a way that speaks to their souls before their minds. If I’m able to do that for at least one person a day then I’ll know I’m living a good life.
