synthesizers changed my life. i think about them almost everyday. lately i've been experimenting with noise more. i usually use an ms-20 mini, however i recently started using reaktor 6 to start exploring fully modular synthesizers. i'm fascinated in the amount of customization that's possible in a modular rig but i still have a very soft spot for my ms-20. it's the first instrument that i felt really attached to. there's just something really special about these little machines. playing with oscillators is a form of mindfulness for me. i'm not someone who believes in god but if you were to ask me for proof of one i'd point you to a synthesizer.

noise music is really popular where i live. majority of the underground scene is harsh noise. it's how a lot of electronic artists start i guess. i like making noise, because i like pretty textures. i personally don't do well boxing myself into singular genres.

there are definitely trends in noise music. i think despite the name and the grungy nature of the genre it still craves experimentation and innovation. that's fine though, i think that's how art of every genre is. especially music. music being a timeless conversation innovation is a sign of engagement and new ideas. it reflects an evolving society and the human desire for connection.

harsh noise is a part of my self care. it helps me stay in a very zen mind state because it is a direct outlet for a lot of unresolved anger i hold in my body. i come into these projects with a lot of tension in my forehead and jaw, but as i work on it i feel a massive sense of euphoria and relief. sometimes i feel better before i finish the project, so i set it to the side until i need that kind of healing again.

not enough distortion

while i don't really believe in identity i think the luxury to have a voice, literal or instrumental, is not something to be taken for granted.
