Music to talk it out to

I don’t know about you but the last month or so has been pretty grim; I’m hoping and praying that we’re coming out the other end – it does feel so.

It’s funny when you’re down & depressed – I personally tend to shut myself away and stop interacting with people – which feels like a good short term strategy but is a horrible path to stay on as it eventually becomes a self-fulfilling downward cycle.

Even though the self-loathing makes it hard to be around other people, actually talking to someone about “it” makes a huge difference. This piece of music was written for that exact purpose – in fact – I was talking as I was playing.

So – here it is – 20 minutes of soft, calming piano music to have on in the background while you cathartically expel your bullshit.

Enjoy!

Messages from Siri...

I’m getting better at capturing ideas: there’s a waterproof notepad in the shower, one entire wall of the living room is a blackboard, and now of course we have Siri.

Being able to quickly voice record an idea and have it sent to you as a message the next day is brilliant – here are a few while I was developing this track:

"Sure easy menu bar thinking and subdivide employment labor Wolk with the glory and employer"

..I have no idea what this means...

"Stamnes Musician's offer reason files next"

...I think this has something to do with offering stems - good one - will implement later this year...

"Blog post want to want want to Paul from an astonishing the kids time I want Musicians's alarm people who couldn't stand tedious I'm looking skills to people with Nicola movile so Columbus works out to do that the skip."

...yeah, no idea about this either - but it sounds fascinating...

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

...and this is Siri just laughing at me...

Clearly Siri has a way to go, but it's kinda entertaining. I've off to want want to Paul...
