The fun flashback sample from Nick this week reminded me of the different creative space I was in and the music I was making 10 years ago when when I was in high school. It was more vibrant, chaotic, and playful. I had far less knowledge and just got into a flow state and explored whatever ideas came to mind. This WB is a nod to that. Present connecting to past. Thanks for listening!

Sample: High School Nick playing PVC pipe instrument

It’s fun to listen to this while watching Nick play the PVC pipes.  It just reinforces that fusion of high school exploration and creativity with the precision music craft you have developed over the years since then.  This piece is a great mix of both — the morphed percussion from yesterday coming to life in this modern day tribute to your growth as a musical artist.  Really like the reprise of the pipes starting at 1:31.

Yeah man!

Fun track. Damn the time it must take to cut pipes at the correct length to have the right pitch!

Legend.

Amazing! Yes the reprise is the marvelous suprise. I loved banging on PVC pipes as a kid. It seems like more fun as an adult.

fun track! I especially like after 1:30, great groove and energy. nice one!

Great feeling, fun piece. The pipe samples sound great, nice element to use, works well. So cool its from back in high school. My bandmate and I in Creatures Once met as drummers in high school band, good high school memories hitting things, lol. Yeah that feeling of flow and having fun is what it's all about, hopefully we can all keep that in our music creation lives!

The pipe samples sound great and keep things light and bouncy. I think some of the higher plucky sounds are probably also pipes? It all sounds great together. Your reflections on making music in high school resonate with me, harnessing that sense of exploration is so valuable.
