”I think as I get older, I’ll probably become more of a hermit, living in the countryside and working on music, photography and video in equal measure. Maybe Netherlands since it’s the place where I feel the most “in place”. I guess life is an adventure full of possibility. We’ll see how it unfolds. I know, though, that I’ll always be creating, because to me… it’s the key to...

captainentropy asked: You are a beautiful person and what you write makes perfect sense.
of course, not all melodies are perfect. some sway too much, others are afraid to stand up for themselves. but within these imperfect melodies there is an occasion where, as they drift in and out of each other’s bodies, these melodies begin to sigh. we all gain a peace of mind.
“Musically, the tango is probably not important; its only importance is what we give it. This reflection is correct, but perhaps applies to everything. To our own death, for example, or to the woman who rejects us….” Jorge Luis Borges, A History of the Tango
A ghost sideshow
Of all the people I love
young adults, head following their feet as they walk, tend to destroy all they know out of frustration, loneliness, lack of desire. dirty streets, dirty people, dirty thoughts; they are unable to locate a sanctuary. “if i keep imploding, will someone finally send love and regards?” maybe, maybe not. kicking cans along the street, breathing heavily, feeling anxious. a lot of nothing...
keep reblogging reposting retweeting ending destroying consuming ignoring despising reiterating overindulging
eventually you will sink deep enough into the void and will start searching for real wisdom
the light will never abandon you even if you disown it. it is always there, waiting for your return.
things feel so much better when you simply are, and simply Do
a circus of doe eyed children running ‘round we tell them to do things and they listen, if only for a little while then they grow older and play their music and we both move on
allowing fantasy desires into reality, within our how are you and our goodbye, slowly creeping upon our speech until suddenly we are thrown into the illusion forever. how does the young man expect to climb Olympus when his arms are so very frail? death somewhere towards the middle, his journey forgotten yet important all the same. essence returns to the mother, rebuilt years later into a stronger...
morning sunbeams reflecting god into the landscape, into the people, into your heart
i call out your name with childlike mannerisms, we run free with nowhere in mind.
we can both be spring flowers that survive a snowstorm

spiritual things, precious things, indefinite things
god layered over the landscapes, can’t you see
i gave up my arrogance for a humble acceptance
acknowledging yourself as more than thoughts, explaining takes more than words
sexual speech crumbles into nothing, time is only wasted when your spirit is asleep, the light is never far from your center, the mind’s eye can forever be 20/20
ideas to keep in mind
working on a new alyosha's dream EP
probably will be done in a month (or two?)
decidedly darker.
Haven’t felt like listening to anything other than classical music this week (especially romantic period). For those who don’t listen to classical because they think it is too old, it is unfortunate because it is lovely. A little patience and attention will reap many rewards.
spending a quiet night with maurice ravel, claude debussy, and gustav mahler.
wonderful company.
mormonbubblegum asked: Listening to the new album right now. I really hope this becomes rym-core.

MOVIN’ ON UP
“Love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or DJ. Everything else stems from that core, that love. With that love, sampling can become a tribute; An expansion on ideas long forgotten, reconstruction, collage. Using the same understanding openly and respectfully can turn DJing into a spiritual participation. It can turn a few hours of selection into essential history;...

album by my friends and fellow musicians ethan bourget & jonathan rodriguez. they have some killer use of *sound* on this thing, which as a musician, even if this isn’t my preferred style, i can really appreciate.
