I poured a year of my heart, soul and everything into this. Today wasn’t a good day and I’m sorry. I had to pause and catch my breath. We did say we would let the community decide and I should not have deviated. Let’s open this back up and embrace the outcome. Resumes at 2pm PST.

Happy 25th birthday to Movement in Still Life! 🎉 That album was a turning point for me—pushing boundaries, exploring new sounds, and having fun with it. It’s amazing to see how much it’s meant to so many of you over the years ❤️

Listening to @Leftfield Leftisim for a Saturday night gym session. There are very few (less than 10 maybe even 5) records that meet this gold standard of compositional innovation and recording in the 90’s. Record is absolutely incredible to this day. Hats off.

This work is too important to me to keep going the way it’s gone, so I think it’s best for the work to stop the auction. I want to thank you guys for taking this journey with me, I’ve learned a lot and look forward to the next chapter.

My entire career I’ve been told I can’t do things - I remember first trying to get my music signed and being laughed out of record exec offices. I had managers tell me not to make music software - it’s for nerds. You can’t make such long songs. You can’t score films. ⬇️.

You can’t, you can’t, you can’t. Well, my suggestion for times when you feel misunderstood and people are telling you why you cannot do something - something you believe in and fulfills you creatively - is to keep pushing. Keep innovating. Keep creating. The world needs your art.

If you love someone - let them know. If someone has impacted your life in a positive way, big or small, tell them. Life is *so* short, uncertain and tomorrow is not promised. Let those you love know they are loved, always ❤️.

Sometimes I think people forget that when an artist of musician is sharing something they created, it can feel like sharing a page out of a diary. No matter how much time passes, I still get nervous sharing something I created with the world. ⬇️.

Prayers for his friends and family. It really hit me how profoundly sad it is to loose someone just getting started. If you’re an artist you should read this. There is blood on these people’s hands.

When I was 11 years old I saw Blade Runner for the first time. I rode my bike up rockville pike to the movies, I must have watched it three times in a row. That score is what made me want to score films as an adult. Rest In Peace to one of my heroes, Vangelis ❤️ 🎹.

My first encounter with electronic music was BT’s album "ESCM". I purchased it when I was a high school student. "Flaming June" was the theme song of my life. Many of my songs reflect the inspiration from the track. I met my hero for the first time at ADE in 2022. I was nervous

So I am having this conversation privately with friends and peers the last 3-4 years and I’m going to propose it here publicly. We need to create new intellectual property right laws that protect an artist as a training set.

Quality dance music is not 3 minutes long. It's not 1:30 to the next drop, it is not shitty and overly loud, it is not all soft synths.
