this past monday i learned of an open mic at a nearby brewery i go to occasionally, it takes place tuesdays, 6-8pm. i started to think seriously about going, despite my anxiety over never having done one before.

it’s strange, an odd feeling to wonder whether what i write about will be important to anyone; whether there’s a purpose or a need for it, even for myself. it’s feeling like a worthy experiment, maybe it will yield some sense of release. in any case, i’ll give it a go here.

growing up studying classical piano and later percussion in the school and university scene, while also pursuing a passion for pop and rock ‘n’ roll in the garage, there has always been a dichotomy at play between my passion for composing and arranging, and my desire to let the music flow more organically in the moment.
