Injustice We Trust

I'm gonna get a bit political for once because well the shit's hit the fan in 2020.
It's very upsetting to see what is going on in the United States. The buffoon of a President we have is just making everything worse. I've been watching 'The Handmaid's Tale' lately and although it's not as bad as the show, you feel some of those clips coming to life in what we're witnessing today. The orange moron thinks he's on a reality tv show still. The police brutality needs to end but unfortunately I know with the current administration in place nothing will change. So this week's track is hugely inspired by what is going on. The first drone set the scene and then the Piano parts were more atonal than I normally go for.
But in the good news department my family got me a super duper early Birthday present by allowing me to invest in the biggest epic sample library I've ever owned. Spitfire Audio's Albion One. Last week I was trying to work on two projects. One being the usual Weeklybeats track and the other an unsuccessful attempt at scoring an action sequence from Westworld's Season 3. You guessed it, Spitfire Audio and HBO are hosting the competition. The winner gets like $20K worth of sample liibraries LOLOLOL. No way in hell I come close to winning but the practice is good because I've never tried to score to picture. Well not an action sequence of this magnitude. But so far my version is sounding like Daft Punk Tronning it out. The deadline is Wednesday so we'll see if my procrastination superpower comes to life in time. Spitfire had Albion One discounted 60% so it was hard to pass up. My dream of making music in any sort of media is a teensy bit closer because now I can step away from my usual ambient pianoludes and try and sound a bit more epic_trailerish. Thanks for reading this long winded description, I will catch up on y'all's tracks this week!
PS Big thankyous to my parents for always believing and supporting me. This dream would have been dead long ago if not for them. Time to make the most of it!
