Moxie’s Meadow

Note: This post was written in 2025 and backdated to appear on the day I wrote and published the track. I don’t have a ton to say about this one. I think it was probably started with me intending to do a Lo-Fi track, and it certainly fits the formula for one, but it seems a little too… sweet? Nice? Neither of those fit, because I’ve heard Lo-Fi that would warrant those terms. Maybe it’s just not nostalgic enough. Another of my pieces that are a bit more than a sketch but not quite a real thing.

I started the day with a different track, but very quickly realized that I didn’t have time to … Continue reading

Note: This post was written in 2025 and backdated to appear on the day I wrote and published the track. As with the last couple of years, I came into 2024 with no real ideas, no backlog of things to talk about or things I wanted to try. The only challenge thrown to me by friends was a nebulous “do a dubstep track.” In past years, being completely blank in the first week would have sent me into a panic. At this point, though, it’s kind of normal. The first three tracks this year ended up being electronic and using … Continue reading
