Irritations
Noise...so much noise...so much static. Horrible news reposted on Facebook. Horrible people posting blindly about how great they are. (Unfollowed! Should have done that a while back, but on good days I enjoyed laughing at train wrecks.) Horrible people doing horrible things, and the constant discussion of it. Can I have a trigger warning for ( Read more... ) -
New Years!
I view resolutions for the new year as somewhat spurious, but this time around I think I've actually got some worth doing. (read: realistic and constructive) The two primary objectives are simple - a new music creation of some sort every two weeks and a new original painting every two weeks. Substitutions are allowed, so for example: 1) I'm ( Read more... ) -
Brain Aches
People have asked from time to time what my various disorders "feel" like. What it means to be bipolar or obsessive, or how I process input differently thanks to the sensory modulation disorder. Most of the time I can give an answer in approximate terms based on the specifics of the question, but there are times when the easiest metaphor involves ( Read more... ) -
Wondering What To Do - But Not How You Might Think
Arg, this was sitting in my buffer from several weeks ago, complete and unposted:
It's fairly common for me to spend time in my day wondering exactly what I should do with my free time/day/life. What's extremely uncommon is that these days I have an amazing pool of successful things to pull from. I finally got around to painting with acrylics a ( Read more... ) -
The Failure of Facebook and Futility of Maintaining a Blog
I suppose the title is a bit of a misnomer; Facebook hasn't really failed me and the blog is fine, neither one simply fits my current need. As it turns out when you're more than marginally damaged in the head you need a more out-of-the-way space to rant and rave, so I dusted off my LJ login to do precisely that. I haven't really had a chance to ( Read more... ) -
More or Less Shutting This Down
Unfortunately the blog's crosspost plugin has completely ceased working, and I have no idea how to fix it. At this point this journal is more or less switching to inactive. I highly encourage anyone reading to head over to http://impulsive-designs.net, as that will be my online presence ( Read more... ) -
New Mix Posted
Crossposting is temporarily down, but I don't mind doing it manually a few times ( Read more... ) -
More Mixes in the Works
I’ve kind of gone nuts with this controller, expect another couple of mixes shortly. I had originally intended to make the next one a jungle/drum & bass mix, but I’ve determined to mix the tracks I want properly I’ll need to create/sample some transition beats to use. It’ll take some time to track good beats down, so in the meantime I’m putting ( Read more... ) -
Yet Another Mix!
Beatport is so damn cool, and horribly addicting. I was poking around in the breaks section and before I knew it I’d built up a shopping cart with an entire set of amazing tracks I’d never heard before.
Total time from purchase to finalized recording: less than 4 hours.
I am nailing this shit. It’s called “The Natural.” Go grab it! It’s enough ( Read more... )
