Welp, that went by fast. 2019 came and went, and it was a busy one. It was full of adventure and creativity. Normally I would put up a little review up but as things go, I don’t have the time for it. 2019 isn’t going to go out quietly but racing into what looks like a very busy 2020.
All that to say, if I worked with you, if I worked besides you, or our creative paths crossed in 2019, I’m thankful for you. I’m thankful 2019 was full of great projects and great people. And while 2020 looks like it will be very busy, I’m looking forward to the challenges and the new adventures. I leave you with an epic lighting-test-selfie from the studio. Kind of. Fun times none-the-less. Don’t be a stranger, drop me a line in 2020 and let’s take on media together : )
Also, I normally do a music review of sorts but as mentioned above, time is in short supply. So here’s a hot take on some of the music I’ve been lisenting to in 2019. In no particular order…
Active Child. I cannot say enough about this music. I went with “All Eyes on You” because it was released first but “Set Me Free” is right up there. I really like the whole EP. I know it’s only three songs, but still…I dig it. I hope to see Active Child again in concert. Amazing music.
Poemme. So this album was released in 2017 but I really just “discovered it” this year. I’m really into ambient music and I found myself sliding into very busy days with this album in the background. Choice in the mornings for sure.
Rounding out the year is this playlist. “Your Super Chill” was created around music that I found on YouTube and those tracks randomly chosen by Spotify throughout the year. And this playlist hit me hard. I listened to it a lot. It was my goto playlist in the studio. I really dig the chill vibes. I don’t know a lot about the artists but the tracks here are choice indeed.
And it appears that Spotify was doing it’s Spotify thing and not letting me embed the playlist. Classic. So try this link or this one spotify:playlist:3raViDOe50KDqPQ4bOWtHN (copy and paste that in a browser if it doesn’t work. old school I know, but sometimes it’ll have to do) or I suppose search it on Spotify. If there’s a will there’s a way as the saying goes.
Shout out to BVDUB real quick for another amazing 2019 album… I’m always into the ambient thought provoking sounds of BVDUB.
And a local artist to finish out the list. I really enjoyed Jake Allen. I didn’t know him until I stumbled upon him at The Listening Room. He put on an epic solo show and did the thing with the looper that really appeals to me. Really solid sounds. Check him out.
And that’s a wrap. Have a great rest of 2019! More to follow in 2020!
