2022 has been strange with all of the canyons and peaks. It's honestly been a very surreal and reflective time but I am not sure if that is my aging, dissociation, or just where things are at the moment.

The last track of the year was for the upcoming Nanoloop Mobile compilation 2 put on by Gesceap in the nanoloop discord. For the full track, you will have to wait until that is released in March. I am experimenting with both old chiptune, Lofi sampler, and nanoloop-specific techniques in this. Some of it was driven by a comment Gesceap wrote about nanoloop not having effects like on the Dirtywave M8. I took some time to figure out new techniques to achieve this though not all of what I have learned are exhibited in this example. So far I have managed to figure out how to get chorus, pseudo reverb, and echo using only the mobile version of nanoloop with its built-in features. It was a fun challenge to get that together, especially during the holidays (which ended up being way busier than usual).

Gear Used:
- Nanoloop ios running on Iphon xr and Ipad mini gen 2(?)
- Moog Mother 32/eurorack (percussion samples)
- Fors Raspberry (Chord sample)
- Fors Romb (Chords reverb)
- Tal TAL-U-No-LX (oscilator sample)
- Ableton (sample creation and management)

Things I am thankful for in 2022:
- My partner
- family/friends
- Mushrooms
- Community
- Free bike helping me to exercise
- Dirtywave M8
- Fors
- Nanoloop Mobile
- Time
- Discord groups I discovered
- Reconnection

Things I am proud of in 2022:
- 3 remix releases, live sets, and finally releasing something of my own for the first time since 2013
- Time for life reevaluation
- Supporting and guiding the young people in my life
- Personal progress made and acceptance

Cheers to everyone especially all of you who have left nice comments this year or I have chatted with in discord. I've updated my bio to include my current social accounts via linktree. Add me on things if you want. I wish you all the best and hope to see you in the future ✌️
