If you’re following me, you might have seen that 2025 ended with one of the longest writer’s blocks I had in years. As it ended, it was also beneficial because it prompted me to shift how I approached my daily studio practice as a music producer. Whenever a producer can’t seem to find their voice […]
If you spend time in music production communities, you’ll notice a recurring frustration: many producers feel like they can’t finish songs. Hard drives fill up with loops, sketches, and promising ideas that never quite make it to the finish line. Starting music is exciting. A new sound, a groove, or a melody can spark hours […]
Here I am, working on a new album, and while it’s a huge amount of work that can feel overwhelming at first, I genuinely enjoy the process. One question keeps coming back, though: should I approach this from a track vs song mindset in music production? In recent years, there’s been an ongoing debate about […]

Is chasing music production trends based on a genre a lost cause? Working with clients teaches me every day how people cope with the music business and their ongoing challenges with their music-making. One is how an artist’s relationship with genres changes over time. Their tastes change, and so are the music production trends. Think […]
It is often said that music is a form of mathematics. That is, if start wanting to quantize it and intellectualize it. Programming rhythms comes to specific formulas and engineering is also using precise measures to go to precision. While we all agree that music comes from the heart, certain elements rely on numbers. For […]
My workflow shifted dramatically in 2024 when I started scheduling my studio sessions like I would any other professional commitment. I now treat each session as a meeting with myself—complete with a start and end time, and a clear intention. Why does this matter? Because when I honour my time in the studio, my creativity […]
Let’s go through a complex topic that hits pretty much any musician at one point, which is when they suddenly develop a total dislike towards their music. This commonly happens towards music that people usually work on, but it could also happen with music they released (made) in the past. In both cases, this is […]
We can agree that a song is an idea, which is developed into a story. The word we use for that is arrangements. As I explained in a previous post, the arrangement phase follows creating a mockup and involves creating a timeline in which sounds come in and out. At least, this is how I […]
There are multiple definitions of what the inner ear can be, but for this article, I will use it based on my own experience. In music production, the Inner Ear is the metaphorical space where intuition, emotion, and personal taste converge — it’s the internal compass that guides an artist to create without relying on […]
This is not a conventional post, but I thought I would write it since no one talks about it. I’m often labeled as someone who makes weird music. Perhaps there’s something in electronic music where weird music is more acceptable, or maybe even appreciated, than other genres of music, but why? What is weird music, […]
Last year I got back into the art of DJing and was digging for music to play in a gig. As I blended a selection of music from clients (who allowed me to use their music) mixed with findings on Bandcamp, I focused more or less on minimal techno/house, genres often associated with my artist […]
Maybe you came here with the idea that I’d be discussing techniques to break the loop issue; I’m relating to the problem many have where they are stuck in a loop and can’t get out. As you can see, this comes on two levels. The first relates to working on a song, finding a loop […]
I was working with a client, and after I went through the basics of making a song, which he picked up pretty quickly, he commented, “So, in the end, it all comes down to music tastes.” What he meant by that is that technicalities are always a part of what anyone can learn, but if […]
As I was recently revising a client’s workflow, I explained to them that mine had changed much in over twenty years. It has changed just a few times in the last few years, and if I were putting a number into my workflow, I think I would easily be at its 20th iteration. I recently […]
