Thoughts

It’s very early!

I’m generally an early riser but this is ridiculous. My days usually start around 8 and end at midnight these days. Since becoming a CMO, I’ve been glued to my workstation, pouring through rainbow colored waveforms and swimming in wires.

This year has been an inordinately emotional time. I’ve been working through it through music. Some of the feedback I’ve received is that my music is dark. Truth is, it has been a dark time. Superimpose that with the goal of writing a Christmas song and you get what I’m writing.

The thing I notice about the process is that it all doesn’t seem so bad. If at the end, it helps me to focus on music and create new pieces. I cannot be mad at the shitty difficult days because without those minutes I could not create some of this music. Music comes from within.
