I had the massive privilege of writing this arrangement for Sarah Jones' film To None But Me. I should exclusively write Irish traditionals because I just derive so much joy from the process. 

What a finale. Anyone still reading this, this is a student film worth watching.

The music and fun continues! This is going to be quite the work of art once it all comes together.

This post is for anyone who enjoys music, film or art at all. I scored this film and it is exquisite. The film. I think the score is okay too.

Summer break came and went. Much more enjoyable than I could've imagined using the most previous one as a benchmark. Vast improvement. Could've done with a bit more friend time but I thoroughly enjoyed the family time. Guess that's bound to happen as we age, you know?

I built my basement desk. I pushed through the writer's block and got some stuff done. Wrote some songs. Penned some pages. Wrote some more music. Put the pen to paper.

There's only so much you can do before that little ADHD addled brain can take no longer.

Earlier this summer, I mentioned to my mother that I only ever get homesick when there's a week left until I go home. She said that's a good sign, that it means I'm "generally having a good time with life" and that I'm "happy no matter where [I am]". 

Now I'm finding out that you can get schoolsick. 

I know it won't be the same Chicago I left in May. There'll be new faces but plenty of old ones hopefully. New experiences and obstacles. But that only excites me more. 

Now, friends and family of my hometown, when I say this I need you all to know that I love you all very much and couldn't move forward without the support and guidance you've all given me and I look forward to seeing you all again at Christmas. Put simply, it's not the "here", it's the "there".
