(Unedited) Playing with Serum 2

Just me messing around this morning. Will do more structured tutorials in the future.

Thank you

I just want to thank all of you for being here. I have really needed this sense of community and engagement with the music scene after years of feeling very in my own lane and not quite like the others. It’s doing wonders for my excitement and I have learned that I really love teaching, or communicating complex ideas in dig...

Making *Not Boring* Sub Bass in serum.

Hello from a hotel room in Phoenix (when I recorded this yesterday)

Small Writing Session this AM

Hey all, while I am watching my kiddo who is home sick, here's me trying to move forward on a possible single in the meantime. I'll catch up with uploads this week once Little guy is back at school.

A Sincere question

Not like my avant masterclass but more like a study of the actual fundamental processes themselves one by one

Checking in.

Hey there, just letting you all know what's going on behind the scenes with the Patreon this week!
