Music for memories
that never happened.

Out in the park right now. It's actually a super warm summer night, around 20 degrees. Just walking around in a t-shirt, testing the final mix of "2am insomnia" on my headphones.

Brought my cheap point-and-shoot camera. Just firing the harsh flash into the trees and bushes. Most of the pics will probably be blurry trash, but I really just need one good, gritty shot for the cover art.

The contrast between the warm summer air out here and the heavy rain and thunder samples in the track is kind of funny, but it honestly works so well.

Going to wander around a bit more and then head back to check the camera roll.

The track is finally done. Mixed, mastered, and out of my head. I’ve been calling it "2am insomnia", and for the first time in weeks, I feel like I can actually step away from the monitors and let the audio breathe.

There’s something about this piece that feels incredibly grounding to me right now. 

Now that the sound is locked in, the visual world around it needs to catch up. I’m packing my camera gear tonight and heading out into the park.
