Huge thanks to Nikoletta for this very moving review. It means so much to know that the stuff I work on for long hours connects with other people in a meaningful way.

Today I review something I’ve wanted to write about for awhile:

“A Lonely Gust Toward the Heavens” by @MBMachines.

While this isn’t there new album I feel compelled to signal boost this one. This is #cinematic and sad #neoclassical music done right.

Back after a long hiatus. It's been nice to see this album of mine continue to get some attention here and there. I suppose the melancholy is ever-more appropriate these days. Here are some @FreeAlbumCodes if you'd like to listen.

@FreeAlbumCodes Congrats on another lovely compilation!

Gotta promote this video I directed one more time, because I thought it turned out quite nicely. It's quite the boppin' tune as well.

Just wrapped up directing a music video for my friend Scott's band, Elison. They had a bad case of Band Face so I tried to fix it.

being a terminally online classical musician unfortunately means that my brain cant read “Debussy” anymore

@krzyzis whatever this is, it's wonderful

@GatelessGate1 Do you remember the progression? I sometimes wake up remembering a melody from a dream and try to hum it into a recorder so I don’t lose it.

[Make-Believe Machines @MBMachines]

This is oddly touching.

just witnessed an ice cream man’s funeral and all the ice cream vans came and followed in solidarity I AM SOBBING

@GatelessGate1 I wish very much that self-promotion were not part of the job of being an independent artist.

[Make-Believe Machines @MBMachines]

@4tu81 Sounds wonderful. I look forward to hearing which are your favorites of that batch.

[Make-Believe Machines @MBMachines]

@4tu81 I’ve read the Eagleman book. It’s quite good. Saving this so I can grab some of the others myself soon!

@AltruisticCtrl I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping. I don’t know what you’ve tried but a few things that helped me: not drinking alcohol during the day, not drinking caffeine after noon, buying a new pillow and blackout blinds. I’m sleeping much better now.
