I know the root cause to my more than extremely eccentric sleeping habits, it's cause I'm simply too free and I have nothing to occupy myself with, be it some form of companionship, a specific objective, a goal etc.

Without a schedule, I see my body clock fucking up so hard it's just plain demoralizing. I become a person who shun away from society cause "nobody can understand" . Waking up at 1am realizing your day has started and the next thing you collapse at 12 noon only to find yourself awake at 3:30pm is pretty fucked up. My body officially can't tell the difference between nap and sleep anymore.. In fact sometimes I sleep at 9pm and wake up at 2am to say "fuck".

With all these elements in place, I realize it can be quite terrifying an the thought of this constant solitary life I will be facing .. Shivers

I figured since I'm awake at the worlds weirdest hour every single day with My body clock almost non existent.. The only way is to just do what I feel is the "right" thing. Go out and run in the middle of the night , live life normally for it's probably the most productive thing I can possibly do.

I know I need a schedule, a goal in life which I can see myself possibly reach, an awesome companion, a body clock, a healthy diet etc.

When trying is not good enough.. You just do. Against all odds, against whatever people say about you.. You are the master of your soul. Nobody should tell you what or what not to do with your own life..

Persian Beats

(download)

I was playing with Logic Pro and it led me to make this beat.
I was so inspired to make a persian beat after watching Prince of Persia. Just my impression of what persian sounds like anyways.

What makes music work?

I finally got my ass out of the house and head down to esplanade where there's a change in environment. Gotten down to listen to a random track and really critical listen to it hearing every subtle detail about it and did a little research about it..

Turns out generally music have 4 elements which I've categorized like this..

Grove or foundation : drums , bass
Atmospheric. : synth pads, long sustain
Rhythm : rhythmic synths
Melody : vocals or lead synth

Of course it's more complicated than that when ya working on a professional track where there could easily be 40+ tracks and it's all in the automations that make the music really stand out not forgetting the mixing and mastering process . Even though I'm so impatient I have to start from scratch and do it right.. Otherwise I will never learn anything.. Damn that's a scary thought ...

Musical Thoughts

Today, I was introduced to Raashan Ahmad by my very awesome dope friend Jamie Yao (she makes great vietnamese Poh piah) which is really awesome cause its what I would immediately identify as a cross genre between Soul and Hip Hop!

It then got me thinking about music in general. Some eons ago, I do agree it is a Taboo to be listening to different Genres of music (which I was indefinitely doing) and even though I was doing that, I would openly diss others who listen to multiple genres. If someone were to ask me back then what do I listen too I would tell them mainly punk rock because punk rock is "cool" back then but honestly, I was listening to Radio hits as well and even though I do not say it out loud in my forehead that i do that, I actually do appreciate music in general. Back then I told the world that I listen to hip hop to the likes of Jurassic 5, Wu Tang Clan when in actual fact, I do not really listen to every single track they lay out there. I only appreciate certain songs come to think about it and that has got me thinking why the hell do I listen to almost everything (Genres I meant)? Don't I have a preference? I think more importantly, I suspect I have to have many different moods to be able to take in this much music.

Fast Forward today, I have listened to so many Genres and their sub genres to understand the various elements in a song that made the song work (for me) and now it's my turn to make my music work the way these music have influenced me.. It's all in the subtle arrangement, how the track was mixed, and your mood. Music indeed has a connection with people.. no matter how minimal, everybody listens to some form of music every single day.. why is that so?

Before I was about to diss other newer music that have been introduced me this year.. ( weird music like Sequenza V ) I do wonder if people actually listen to these kinda music.. and appreciate it on a higher level etc. I just wanna say that it occurs to me that these music are down right straight up rubbish fuck shit. There is this huge repulsive reaction for me but is that the purpose for these kinda music? If it is, it does take and effect with people doesnt it? I mean music having an effect in you.. changes your mood sub conciously.. think about it.. when you step into a club.. step into a spa.. step into a friends apartment... step into a cab... step into a building.. a shopping center.. observe what they are playing and what effect does it have on you?

Just some musical thoughts..
