All the time, I have ups and downs. The important thing is that music is a life long hobby and passion for me, and despite being knocked down, I seem to dust off and muster up the gusto to keep going....

If I hear it in my head I can make it, how else could I hear it in my head?

I don't hear hear things in my head, I start from scratch with no idea what I am going to do and just keep adding shit until something sounds cool, then I save it as a loop, hop on the internet, and never come back to it.

I'll be releasing my first album soon, it's going to have 900 tracks because none of my tracks are more than 16 bars long.

Ha! I'd believe you if I hadn't been to your website and listened to powder cagers.

In fact, the wife and I danced to "splintered blinker" at our wedding.

:-)

Seriously, though, very cool stuff.

Credit is due for sure! But, just for the record, we didn't actually dance to splintered blinker at our wedding.... but I was 100% serious when I said I liked your work. I'm not trying to pigeon hole or anything, but it reminds me of Sutekh - but grittier and deeper. It's like sound collage.

I like it.

Everybody has doubts. They fear failing at meeting a goal (sounding good). Ignore that and just focus on asking yourself "am I having fun doing this?"

I sometimes doubt myself, but as long as I'm still enjoying it, it's all good. And as long as I'm enjoying the output, there's generally others who will as well!

Couldn't agree more to you two.
