I dislike Winter very much. I never have inspiration to do anything creative even though I’m indoors for most of the season. Now cut to Spring, my favorite season, and the choice season for critics alike1<\/a><\/sup>. I’ve felt reinvigorated to start some new things and start creating. So I have.<\/p>\n

Podcasting<\/h2>\n

Shawn and I have started a new podcast called Sines, Co-Sines, and Tangents<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Sines,
Sines, Co-sines, & Tangents, our new podcast that’s part of our Four Score & Seven Pongs Ago endeavor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The joke is his name is Shawn Sines, and I’m his co-host, and we talk about all kinds of things that devolve into many tangents. Now that I’ve explained it, the title is now 300% more hilarious.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

It’s great to be back to podcasting, and to talk about video games with someone who appreciates them like I do yet has a completely different take. I love the democracy of podcasting much like the open web. We aren’t subject to YouTube ads , algorithms, proprietary formats or delivery. People can use whatever app they want and we own our content and deliver it directly. It may take longer for people to find it but it’s a principle I stand behind.3<\/a><\/sup> 4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

I also love the technology behind our setup and making a good sounding podcast without a lot of post production. 5<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Music<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been getting back to making music. It\u2019s not something I\u2019m terribly good at, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I got inspired last year near vacation time. I haven\u2019t made anything I\u2019m very happy with to publish on the internet yet. But it\u2019s something I\u2019m continuing to do to stay creative. I\u2019ve made several musical equivalents of writing on the piece of paper and throwing it in the trash bin.<\/p>\n

In the process I\u2019ve learned more and more about synthesizers. If there\u2019s an instrument I identify with, it\u2019s the synth6<\/a><\/sup>. A mix of technology and music.<\/p>\n

Making music has reminded me when I started with photography. I wasn\u2019t amazing when I started taking photos, but with years of experience and understanding the tools I had, experimenting, I\u2019ve reached a point where I\u2019m happy with it. For music I have been using a MIDI keyboard and my iPad with several different synth apps, and sequencers. Some might dismiss this as not \u201creal\u201d music. That opinion disheartens me. I grew up with electronic music by way of video games. In many instances the creators of music in video games were simultaneously programmers and musicians, writing the music in code<\/a>. I read an article on Bandcamp about all these amazing genres of obscure music<\/a> and it was enlightening. There\u2019s room for everyone and taste in music is subjective. I will continue to learn and experiment, and maybe I\u2019ll have something to share with the world in the near future.<\/p>\n
