Patching ✨(I've been absolutely looooving getting into Max lately - I have so much I want to build).

It's been slow going on the mountain, but finally receiving the vinyl for Kokapi's Adventure by @catbeats.life gave me a fresh boost of vibes and motivation ✨ Beautiful stuff as ever 🎵

Sometimes I fantasize about opening a small coffee / cassette tape / tiny synth shop. I'd call it "Filter" or something puny like that 💭

Trying new things 👀 Messing about with the live part of Ableton Live 🎛️ #synthsky #musiciansky #musicgear #gear #electronicmusic

Tape of the day: "kokapi's adventure" by @catbeats.life 🎵 Cozy, warm, and magical dreamland vibes to get lost in ✨ #cassette #cassettetape #physicalmedia #electronicmusic

I've starting project managing my private life with Notion like a dork. Truly a beast of a software, and it took me a minute to figure out. But as someone with a messy brain and WHO WANTS TO DO ALL THE THINGS, it's really been helping me focus my attention. I recommend ✨

sound of spring marchs in 🌸 then, follow the others 🌻🍁❄️

Recording a thing today 🎤🎹😺(my daughter doesn't like it when I borrow her stuff — sorry kid!) #synthsky #musiciansky #pocketoperator

That feeling when you suddenly *know* where a piece creative work needs to go 🌟

Synths have often been used to invoke sci-fi vibes. I like it when synths are used to conjure a sense of magic ✨

Also, Meanwhile by Aivi & Surasshu (who did the score for Steven Universe!). Pretty pretty pretty piano / tracker chiptune goodness ✨ #BandcampFriday

Next up, Intersections by @maddie.vision. Such pretty stuff! Gonna be part of my soundtrack for spring for sure! ✨ #BandcampFriday

On this #BandcampFriday, a highlight have been discovering in Infloresce records. First, rec, Chaffinch Market Promenade by Winnie — the coziest little album about a bunch of cozy little shops. So much my vibe! ✨

🌱✨️ Let's go on an adventure!

I'm slowly working my way through Push Turn Move by Kim Bjørn. As much as I love the sound of synths and drum machines etc., I am completely fascinated by them from a design perspective. #reading #books #synthsky #design

Tape of the day: Stipple by Knobs 🎵 Playful glitchy sampling fun ✨ #cassette #cassettetape #ambient #electronicmusic #physicalmedia

Beautiful ✨

I've been enjoying doing ear training with the Sonofield app. It has you identify intervals against a droning root note, and all the sounds are these nice, mellow synth tones. It's kinda meditative! ✨ #musiciansky #synthsky #musictheory

Went to a ceramics painting café and made myself a little Daydream Mountain snack plate 🤩 #ceramics #cute #kawaii #diy #painting #drawing

Throwback! One of the first tunes I wrote for what would become the Daydream Mountain project. Inspired by a memory of getting onigiris and iced coffee from 7-Eleven every morning, while on a trip to Japan 🍙 ☕️ #synthsky #synth #synthesizers #jazz #electronicmusic #onigiri #coffee #japan

My vibe ☕️

I like this little guy peaking from behind my computer while I work 👀 #smiski #collector

The diminished scale is all made of of minor thirds, tritones, and diminished chords... but honestly, I think it sounds kinda cute ✨ #musiciansky #musictheory #jazz

Practicing soloing over a new tune I'm working on ✨ (Gear: Korg Monologue, Expressive E Touché) #synth #synthsky

tea for two 🩵

Currently listening: kuuhaku by morimoto naoki. Cozy intimate ambient ✨ #ambient #cassette #vibes #electronicmusic #physicalmedia

Fave lil mountain sticker ✨ #synth #synthesizer #stickers #kawaii

Silly little landscape! #art #collage

The vinyl edition of the Bee & Puppycat soundtrack is just so dang pretty, as is the music itself 🎵 A near-daily play for me ✨ #electronicmusic #vinyl #physicalmedia

Such a nice combo 🪸 #loopop #endorphines #buchla #eventide #synth #modularsynth

I've been in a weird funk for the last few years, where after a full day of work and patenting, I've had no emotional energy to create anything. But strangely enough I've found when in that mental space, I loooooove practicing scales and arpeggios and such. I find it incredibly meditative ✨

Damn hadn't heard about this one! Feel like I have to go to Berlin now!

I'm selfish, I want this @catbeatsofficial.bsky.social vinyl crowdfund to happen! Cozy lofi synth music for your inner kid!

@catbeatsofficial.bsky.social loot is the best loot ✨ cozy lofi synth vibes ✨ Cassette gang where ya at?

Scale practice in my happy place 🎹✨

Memories Mixtape album sampler 🎵 Cute, cozy, melodic tunes for your inner kid ✨

The biggest thing that has kept me sane as an adult and as a parent, has been keeping a hobby. It's important to have some sort of pursuit/outlet that isn't defined by external expectations and responsibilities.

Hello Bluesky! This seems like a nice and friendly place ✨ I make cute n cozy tunes with happy melodies, using toy instruments and synthesizers. Listen if you want 🗻💭 daydreammountain.bandcamp.com/album/memori...
