Letting go (or trying to, at least)

By dadboy on May 24, 2026 10:28 pm

Veeeeeery nearly didn't submit a track this week, and I actually was OK with it. I've decided to make some bigger life changes (working on going back to school), and just realizing that I'll need to reprioritize how I spend my time. I'd like to keep up with WB, but I'm not certain it will make the cut. At a minimum, I'm definitely going to have to scale back the pressure or attention I give it, so if you've been enjoying my recent low effort ambient stuff, you're in luck!

So for this week, I'd actually decided I was OK if I didn't finish a track. Then this morning I started

› Warning: Gross

and realized that I almost certainly wouldn't finish one. But, in the end, after I saw a doctor and established that I'm (hopefully) OK, at least for the moment, I ended up deciding that I wanted to finish something. I didn't feel like I had to, but I wanted to. That feels like a good place to be—doing this because I want to, not because I feel like I have to. So here! Enjoy some more speedtrash ambient, have a good week, and take good care of yourselves!

this is so soothing and peaceful! wishing you niver days, friend.

damn heal up soon friend. this is beautiful work. sometimes the music like this flows out of dark and heavy places.

Ah man. That must have been quite the scare! Good to read that it looks like you're okay! Thanks for the nice BoC vibes and take care!

Very nice!

Happy you did post those cool thick pads for us this week, well played.

This is a fun listen.

I do, in fact, enjoy your ambient trash.
Get well soon.

Great job pushing through. I don't mind more Dad Boy ambient in the slightest.
Hope you still find enough moments in your life for making music, even with the upcoming changes.

I also count myself as a dadboy speedtrash ambient enjoyer, but I hope you're OK and glad you shared this track with us! smile

I liked your write up last week too on your workflow for these. Gave me some ideas to tinker with!

heart
thank you & best wishes for good health, dadboy

Beautiful! I wasn't sure if I was going to like the detune effect on the pads out of the gate but I was utterly wrong. This is great stuff. Keep bridging weeks like this as long as you have to.
