no / know

Currently working on a solo album.

Just finished bass, snare, synth, and guitar for the first track without knowing what the chords even are.

Seven years of pursuing k no w ledge in music to make it subconscious.

Returning to a state of creating by ear and experimentation.

It is necessary to remember:

You don’t need to understand what you’re doing to do it.

It may sometimes be better if you don’t.

Reaching a new place when it comes to taste in sound/gear as well.

Based in context instead of preference.

Freedom is the feeling.

“There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.” - Herman Hesse
