I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.
To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. The real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your CPU is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your MIDI to audio. Now that's annoying!
There's been not a dime spent on marketing for any record I've ever put out.
There is a lot of music out there that you can play side by side and you can't hear the personality - that has a timeline on it, for sure.

Obstacles are an opportunity to create something new
I never set out to be part of a genre, because I listen to all types of music.
If I can win grammys then that means all you yet to be seen bedroom geniuses will one day TAKEOVER THE WORLD
