but I was finally able to solve them!

So I want to invite you once more, and for real this time 😅,
to join me this Saturday June 27th at 10am New York | 4pm Berlin

I've always been mesmerized and inspired by the music of LifeLike.

Some of his early stuff can be considered classic synthwave, or blast opening the doors to what would later become synthwave.

No other track of his in my opinion reflects this more than So Electric.

Every time I listen to it, my mouth drops wide open.

Yesterday I was researching some music production stuff and stumbled upon a video Future Music made of him in his studio (not sure how old it is), walking through how he composed and produced "So Electric".

So many things in this video opened my eyes it's not even funny.

If you're a huge Lifelike fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Here you go:

Let me know what your biggest takeaway or aha moment was after watching 🥋

Just wanted to share with you a quick Zen parable that I love

(it's ok if Zen isn't your thing, it's still valuable me thinks 🤭)

➖➖

A martial arts student approaches his teacher and asks, “How long will it take me to master this craft?”

“10 years.” The teacher replies.


The student, looking impatient, responds, “I want to master it faster than that. I will work harder than anyone else. I will push myself to practice for many hours every single day and I won’t stop until I’m done. How long will it take me then?”

The teacher considers this new information, smiles, and answers, “20 years.”
➖➖

Anything truly worthwhile (like music production) takes time to master.

So a little patience and just doing the work,

is all that's needed to get you where you want to go.

Happy Tuesday!
