Gratitude #5: Mili – world.execute(me);
This probably won’t be the last time one of Mili’s songs are highlighted here. I’m a huge fan of their broad styles of music and songwriting, and they’ve definitely shifted the way I see the artform as a whole. I’d go as far as to say this band single-handedly flipped my stance on whether a…

Gratitude #4: RIVE OST – Track and Wield
‘RIVE’ is one of my favorite games of last decade. After thoroughly enjoying Toki Tori 2+ by chance from its developer Two Tribes, I was surprised to see them announce it would be their final game.

Gratitude #3: Feryquitous – Dstorv
‘Dstorv’, in my opinion, is a perfect song. ‘Artcore’ songs tend to be as pretentious as the name of the genre would suggest, but there’s something entrancing about the kind of focused listening they ask of the listener.

Instead, I found a lot of familiar releases and developments. Strangely familiar. A kind of same-ey-ness…

On Human Sentiments
One of the reasons I’m coming back to this little blog, is that I think there is a lot of power in putting ideas out into the world. As the internet grows, it’s easy for a creator to believe that their small drop in the ocean won’t amount to anything. But over the years, I’ve…

On How It Used To Be
It’s been a while since I put this website up. It’s also kind of a shame. Had I known how the internet would transform in the past four years, I might’ve put more of an effort into this site before the AI and SEO drones drowned all the humans out. Better late than never. I’ve…
