Ever think you remember a song, then don't realize that you don't until you start playing it?

Imagine some dialogue about time crystals or something going on during this riff.

I think these chords are EmDim7+6, F#mDim7, G2, E4. But also it might not be worth naming them.

This keyboard solo is too busy, but it’s getting there, I think. Even though it’s far from improvisational, which he’d hate, I’m a little inspired by the Jan Hammer interview on Heavy Metal Bebop.

Via a bug, I accidentally generated this monotone, which I think has interesting textures. It's sort of like Taps, if it only had one long note.

The basement in the new place is all bare walls with barely anything in it. It really reflects a lot of high end, including the sound of right hand fingers scraping along the strings before plucking them. Annoying, but I feel there is some sort of potential with a sound environment like this.

This is Howling, a piece I made accidentally when I messed up an app that I'm using to make another piece. I somehow made all of the event lengths way too long, but it sounds great somehow, though very different from what I intended.

Pikmin and street crossings. There’s a lot of street noise in this one, I think. Hopefully, you can still hear the speech!

Not sure where I’m going with this, but I’m getting a lot out of this Dsus4 (with the 6th) chord. (I think that’s how Hard Day’s Night opens?)

This is my summer jam, Pyroclasmic Slooch. I'm not an avid listener of summer jams, so I probably don't have all the hallmarks of the summer jam. This more like "what I imagine summer jams" are like. (Greatly informed by Strong Bad, now that I think about it.) I had more robot voice in it before, but the guy pointed out it didn't really fit in.

In an earlier version of the summer jam, I accidentally drifted off into some kinda Pantera riff.

When you can’t quite remember the desert music from Super Mario Bros. 2.

This attempt at adding solos to this piece was bad, but entertaining!

I started writing something to generate a solo for a piece I'm working on. It's not ready yet, but it does produce stuff that can sort of be used to accompany narrative speech. Here's one of the solos it made over some olde timey radio .

Once in a while, I think I’ve thought of a great riff while running, so I record it. Then, I listen back and am like what is this

Vanishing for the sake of real estate

Driving with cats

The guy kept complaining about having to do his writing assignment, and while I was sitting here making sure he did it, I kept picturing the guy from The Unforgiven video from the ‘90s, being forced to write two pages about a small moment in his life.

I stopped in at Halal Guys Chicken and Gyro, and I was impressed that they were playing this music. It turned out that they were not open, but their door was unlocked. So, maybe they play Bruno Mars or something when customers are there.

Some rain crackle from this morning.

Sidewalk tiles, enjoyment-productivity fallacies

7DRL pre-gaming

For the "minimal viable music" Disquiet Junto prompt, I made Hull Ruptures, which is a piece built entirely from a recording I made of popcorn popping.

What powers Hat Day, al.

Weather in the ones! At least once.
