I made a bunch of sketches this week and none of them really felt like a song/track/whatever. maybe I can't make those anymore. maybe I'm just not in the mood. anyway, I just sloppily (the way I seem to be doing literally everything lately) mashed them together. I thought I had matched the tempos of the 3 jams and realized they were totally not tempo-matched, but I couldn't be arsed to fix it. then I kind of liked how it turned out anyway. so hier steht's.

in the last 2 weeks there seems to be sort of the beginnings of a loose process emerging. it's a bit time-consuming, and again, sloppy, but it's self-indulgent in the way I seem to need it to be.

I read a review of My Year of Rest and Relaxation in which the reviewer described being in a state of low-level recklessness, waiting for the month to turn over before getting their shit together. that's been lingering in my mind as I've been in a similar state. I put too many irons in the fire and I haven't been managing any of them well. I've been blaming winter for dragging out, and I know that's not the real reason, but it's the one I can articulate so far.

I like this for it's weirdness, ripped from the ether into existence

Broken beat dubstep/hip hop? Sign me up! The sound design in this is chef's kiss. Delicious and sparse.

As for juggling too many things at once, I'm in the same boat. But it's not due to the weather, no. The winter is gone here quicker than expected, February was the warmest on record, and the first week of March started with plants sprouting. Spring flowers are blooming already, which is also rare. Or, should I say, used to be rare.

Sorry, I don't have any great advice for you on how to handle being overwhelmed. Let me just say you're not alone in that. Hang in there!

Great soundz! I love that dubsteppy wubs at a minute or so. This got a strong bottom, getting low. Lots of tasty bits!
Sorry to hear about the frustrations, agree you are not alone. The perils of the journey are real. Let's kick it soon!

after careful study i have identified this as 'dope'

quality grit, ecstatic crunch heart

thank you heart sparse is what I do!

I am being whiny about the winter, honestly. the climate is definitely changing over here too.

yeah it is what it is. I think a big part of it is just kind of understanding how my life has changed somewhat since the last WB, and different things are interesting to me now, and it's also maybe time to start saying no to things or just not put as much effort into certain things, restrain myself a bit. I have always been the type to dive headlong into rabbit holes, and keep diving down until something gives (the mystery or just, like, my brain), and that's not really sustainable.
