I think about this image sometimes

I realize that social media is so stressful and exhausting for me but I hate that i feel like I can’t just drop it entirely as an artist

I love being an artist so much but also holy shit I hate being an artist this sucks lol

sorry I forgot I existed, it will happen again

can we start a new save file for Earth

trans rights

I did it

new electro wip from the other day... i love overthinking things lol

why am I getting so many opportunities and deadlines at the same time LMAO there's so much I wanna do and so little time

I did, in fact, regret it - but I survived (. _ . )

idk how soon soon is lol

These two assignments will only take about 30 minutes each, therefore I should put them off until tomorrow when I’m also planning on working on the much bigger assignment that will take significantly more time and energy!!

Constantly being surrounded by producers who are much more technically skilled than I am has been both an incredible learning experience but also incredibly overwhelming at the same time. Feel like I’m constantly in spaces where I struggle to feel comfortable with my own abilities as they are now.

eswyn wip clip soon?? more likely than you may think

my life is a complete and total wreck and yet i will open ableton once again

more than ever right now making raw art from the heart without any major commercial incentive is an incredibly important thing to be doing. do NOT be silenced by your own fear or doubts

generally getting very sick of people not understanding art. there are no set rules. there's a natural flow from experimentation and research towards general consensus of what works and what doesn't. just cuz your findings break someone else's conventions doesn't mean it's not gonna work. lmao

didn’t make the comp but trust me you have to hear this

note for past me: don’t

Pushed through and finished a really fun collab for ANV10 - did something I’ve never done on a track before this time!! ;)

I used to be so good at just finishing tracks, but I wasn’t great at production and sound design back then. Now that I’ve gotten pretty good at technical production and sound design, I can’t seem to finish tracks to save my life…

they don't be versioning quite like I do

please please please listening to new albums nonstop every day at work has me so motivated and inspired but it’s always gone when I get home 😭

I have a project I can’t share yet but I cannot decide if I prefer it in Eb Maj, D Maj, or 50 cents between the two please help

Cannot stop thinking about the Bumble trench coat we found at a thrift store yesterday

Anyway I plan to go crazy for this one - I’ve already got two groups lined up, who wants me along for a third? 😀

The worst part about All Nighter 10 being the last one is no longer having an annual excuse to ask people to work on a collab

the speed at which i can produce music is actually quite profound, it's the "weeks with no/terrible ideas" thing in between these bursts of perfect execution that's the problem

A very modest and reasonable proposal to my employer: Let me go home early (paid) because I had music ideas 😀

I need to commit to actually finishing some music. I’m challenging myself over the next month or two to finish a 4-5 track EP (it might be unpolished but overall ‘finished’, no half tracks or anything). Announcing this publicly to hold myself accountable. Let’s see how this goes…

I’ve trained myself to endlessly tweak the stuff I’ve already made instead of extending the track just because I don’t have a plan for where it could go?? Why should I need a plan?? overthinking it once again oops

I just realized a big part of why I’ve been so unproductive with finishing tracks and I feel so dumb now

Digging through old projects and it’s actually kinda crazy how many there are yet I can somehow remember each one as soon as I hit play

I think it might be time to finally pull Observer into Live and give this rework the proper 2025 Eswyn treatment it deserves… can’t believe this track is nearly 4 years old now.

Sitting here staring at a project, realizing half of my burnout isn’t even a lack of ideas but the lack of motivation to just try new ones. At some point I think I conditioned myself to expect that everything I make has to develop to follow my vision from the get-go, instead of just experimenting.

...and today we create yet another 30 second clip for the ever growing unfinished projects folder

I’ll be playing Dischead Jockeys 4.1 this weekend!! I’ve got a pretty fun set in the works, you won’t want to miss it!! ;)

Serum 2 (cool and awesome)

New release THIS FRIDAY w/ @eswyn.com on Tasty! This song has been in the works for a while, can't wait for you all to hear it 😼

I’ve been working on what may be one of my favorite projects yet and it’s actually so simple all things considered… I really do overcomplicate a lot of my projects, huh.

my brain thinks reading a message counts as responding them my bad yall

eswyn set visual be like

yo what the fuck

I’ve been having so many cool conceptual ideas relating to storytelling and worldbuilding with music lately, but the actual inspiration for writing that music just hasn’t been there. This disconnect is unbelievably frustrating.

Super excited to announce that I’ll be kicking off 2025 with my takeover of Monstercat Call of the Wild!! I had a ton of fun putting this episode together - Tune in tomorrow to hear some of my favorite releases of 2024 mixed in with some Monstercat throwbacks!!

currently losing at social media (can’t be bothered)

how to win at social media

Finally got around to updating my handle despite owning the domain for years, it’s @eswyn.com now! 😎 Still bummed .audio domains are so ridiculously expensive, because eswyn.audio would go incredibly hard
