Just One for April
Now Playing: Monticolombi - CLEAN (feat. Monyu)
Feels good to say that I've finally featured on something this year. I've been so quiet in terms of actually releasing things I've forgotten what it feels like.
I got to hop on Break Your Legs with my guy Monticolombi for his new EP Ignorance Is Bless. Really grateful to have been pulled a little outside of my usual place lyrically.
Still Doing Stuff
What a long month, in a good way. I spent a lot of time doing my usual (exercising, studying Korean, making music) and I've made a lot of progress with each.
For starters, I've hit 100 days straight of all three of the above. I feel like who I am now is far superior to the version of me that entered the new year, even though it's just some movement, cool words, and beep-boops.

I hit H-Mart with a friend and nearly ordered my food in Korean which would've been my first time publicly speaking, but everyone else ahead of me ordered in English and I wasn't gonna be that guy. Maybe next time.
Tiny Experiments
Anne-Laure Le Cunff quickly became my favorite author after watching a video she made with BigThink.
I immediately bought her book Tiny Experiments right after watching. I haven't even cracked 100 pages though because I keep taking advice from the book and implementing new creative practices. I think her mention that creatives should have field notes is something that really changed things most drastically for me.
What do these things have in common?
Nothing really, other than that I just enjoy them when I'm not busy working on things.
Free, Too
Completed another lap around the sun this month as well. I'm grateful to have said this multiple years in a row now, but I feel more youthful than I did the previous year. Each time around I just have a bit more maturity, stability, and confidence.
My girlfriend got me a new couch for the studio, a Fiio CD player, some really nice IEMs, a skin for my SP404 MKII, and a HiChord. I truly am spoiled.
I also accidentally went and bought way more CD's than I intended, but it was fully worth it.
YNWA
As if all of that wasn't enough, we also caught the Liverpool v. Tottenham match at Cosm. It was cool to have felt so immersed in the game, and for this to have been the match to decide the results of this season of the Prem.
I have a feeling next month and onward will be pretty slow as usual, so I'm just gonna stay focused on making music and see what happens. Typing all of this out makes me realize how much I've done within the month. A conscious effort to keep this up next month and break my routine a bit might be good for me.
Off to do nothing for a bit.
