Taking a Waymo to Freddy Krueger’s house is the most splattercyberpunk thing I’ve done today.

As soon as you remove “genre” from the equation and simply create what you want with elements that make you curious and excited, life gets a lot better.

One of the most useful processes is having a low-friction way to quickly capture ideas in the midst of doing other things, so you can revisit them when they have your full attention. It’s natural for tangents to spark amidst other tasks, and takes practice to gracefully navigate.

I became acutely aware I indulge in stacking harmony as much as some people lay on the hot sauce. When you’re all-in as a flavor aficionado, nothing’s gonna stop those taste buds. It feels magic when you’ve got a thin track and that bass starts grilling, filling out the burger.

When I was little, my dream job was “businessman” — inspired by dad, diligent salarymen, and cyberpunk megacorps. I roleplayed in pa’s suits with an oversized briefcase.

The VeloGlow multis in RMS Nightglow for Omnisphere 3 are superbly scintillating! They SPARKLE 🌃 ✨ when you play drifting chords, as you can hear here... gives it a wistful introspection a la Vangelis' Blade Runner.

I like evolving loops in music, because they’re a metaphor for making things better each cycle. A lot might seem the same, but there are subtle differences that deserve attention and iteration.

We're in bizarro world where people accuse "it's AI" when it's human-made, and missing the opposite. The fact most people are bad at detecting AI (and it's getting worse) speaks highly of our mortal frailty. We "I'm a human" CAPTCHAs where u goof in ways no robot could. 😜 🤖

I have a hard time restricting myself to any one “scene”, or even making music that fits squarely in an established format — so I identify with baskets of ‘em. When I draw from what I’ve learned, it’s like investing in a diversified index fund for music genres/styles/vibes.

We'll come across a truly alien species that simply can't relate to metonymy + synecdoche, and while efficiency-driven, have no use for reducing things to parts. There are no generationalizations. Thus, stereotypes are as foreign to them as they are natural to humans.

I reckon we’ll see the rise of “Megacorp In A Box” (MIAB) turnkey solutions, where a minimum number of people paired with roguish AI is viable to achieve cyberpunk fantasies.

"Creative block" is often an excuse for being afraid to make something true to you because of what others will think. You should make it anyway — you just might change their mind in doing so.

Ever notice how often being "creative" simply means exploring a curiosity to its furthest extent?

At some point as a creative, you’ll hit a technical density ceiling — so beyond that, it’s like “Well what can I say now that no one else is expressing?”

Pick three small things that repeatedly annoy you, and spend a dedicated block of time fixing them tomorrow. Reducing friction really multiplies over a few months.
