it's probably been a week(?) since my last post... i want to say i've been busy. and in a way i have... but it's been self-induced. i could have spent just a bit of my time writing, but i've been making some different choices recently.

and while i would always advise myself to keep writing, as it is such a good way to just calm down and align yourself, hence i'm back here.. but sometimes you just jump into something that sort of tickles all the parts of your ancient brain.

so what was that sophisticated past time that just completely took over my life?

being a youtube creator. more specifically: being a faceless youtube creator.

yes, over the last month i've been posting daily youtube videos of myself making music on my grooveboxes. make some music, set up my iphone, click record and perform the music. just the hands, the gear and the music.

it's been a fun way to force myself to turn quick musical ideas into 1 or 2 minute pieces. and since i figured out the best way for me to record them, it's been a lot of fun.

and since installing youtube studio on my phone i also have direct access to analytics... which... is probably not great, as i randomly through the day notify my partner whether my videos 'bombed' or i actually got some nice comments.

anyway, it's a journey and i'm in the process of finding a bit of balance. so smoothen out the process of making videos, not getting obsessed with analytics, working my actual job, being a normal person, writing...

here's the channel, if you're interested:
