I’ve been wanting to make a video for Do Something ever since my album offbeat came out, but then the endless heatwave hit. The basic premise was this:

One of the most annoying things about my music website, going back to the previous major incarnation and which carried over into this one, is that if you want to see the lyrics to a song (or the liner notes, or the links to share and download), well, you first have to start listening to a song. Only then are the lyrics displayed.

I am so proud and delighted to be able to say I collaborated on a song with the one and only @Traiken@mastodon.social!

How did this whole sknot business come about you ask? Spoiler alert: don’t read if you want things to stay shrouded in mystery!

So I usually chronicle my musical adventures on this blog, but between the three-month-long heatwave and the adventures themselves, it just dawned on me that I had totally neglected to keep up. So I’ll hopefully be catching up over the next few days, starting with this post.

Since I’m often asked this question, I’m going to be lazy and publish answers I posted on the bonkwave forum a while back:

I don’t remember where I read, ages ago, about how when faced with a choice, if you make a carefully thought out and well-reasoned rational decision, then logically, any other rational person confronted with the same choice will follow the same logic and come to the same decision.

Which in a weird way creates a moral, societal obligation to follow the logic and make the rational choice.

The problem of course, is that most people aren’t rational. Or to be more precise, reason isn’t the only or even the main driver when making choices (or forging an opinion, etc.).

the bonk way is my collaborative contribution to The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: Autumn Waves 3 Sample Challenge

I didn’t know what to do with this edition’s sample pack. I lack the required chops (I am sample-challenged), and I said as much on Mastodon...

As I wrote on Mastodon in what turned out to be an interminable chronicle of the making of offbeat :

I’ve never released an album. I write and publish individual songs that progressively outline and become part of albums, sometimes jumping around from one album to the next.

But collaborating on projects on the fedi has taught me something I usually lack : patience. Weeks or months often go by between the moment I finish a song and its release.

Which has probably put me in the necessary headspace to think of a whole album before I’ve actually finished any of the songs.
