Twin boys. Toddler daughter. Hospital Tech Support. Writer. Runner. Gamer. Creating in public again.*
Last night, after setting up my new office, I started recording music to test everything out. I could only record for about ten minutes before a baby was crying and the toddler was ready for her bath. Wherever I left off on that recording is now up on Backstage. And that’s why I created this. Every recording now has a purpose.
P.S. I also added about twelve other songs to Backstage, in the 2025, 2024, and 2023 collections.
Today is day two of me posting a video to YouTube. A simple YouTube Short.
I’ll be doing this experiment with a lot of my drafts that I haven’t made public yet. Plan to keep the form simple for now just to see what happens with the bare minimum. Let the words carry the heavy lifting. This also makes the process sustainable to do daily.
I’ve made these little mixes on Apple Music throughout the last few years, when I’m inspired.
Here’s what I wrote on March 3rd, 2023 for the first playlist:
Office Hours is a tribute to the past, and a love letter to the future. The nostalgia of a cassette tape, with the speed of tomorrow. With only ten songs per session, each volume tells a simple story about connecting dots.
And here’s message for Office Hours 8 on June 23rd of this year:
A day after our baby shower for the twins. I don’t create much anymore. Feels right. Been running, lifting, hooping and gaming. It’s 8pm, sipping coffee and watching the countdown for Death Stranding 2. Decided to throw this together for you while waiting. Going on a three mile run and listen to this before I make it public. A timestamp journal to add to the mix. Hope all is well.
Here’s links to 1-9. The last three were made recently.
A lot of people don’t know that Apple Music creates weekly mixes for you, based on the type of music you’ve been listening to. Each time you listen to something, you’re training these mixes to become better. Chill Mix and Get Up! Mix. Those are my two favorite to use.
