What I'm doing and NOT doing
Well, I ended up posting nothing here since July - but oh well, here's an update. I've got good news and bad, and let's do the bad news first: I'm pretty uninspired on the music front, really. The Quadroon project is near mastering and we put a single out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaO-nCuGPEg), but that's the only project I've made progress on for months; it may have been unofficial for a while, but I'm essentially taking a break. A little history here: I bought my first turntable in 1999, when I was 14, and made beats using samples from records until 2007 (filling up 10 80-minute minidiscs in the process). In that year I gave away my records, and didn't start to rebuild a library until a cross-country drive in 2011, where I literally bought cheap gear in Kansas City and made beats in the hotel room to scratch the itch. Since 2011 I've made around 10 EPs and 6 albums using records, although this year I switched to using found sound samples...
