Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki: A Light

One listen. I was a bit hesitant at first. Told myself to just write and got on with it, and the below came out. I think it could be better, but overall this gets across an idea of how the … Continue reading

Willebrant: Sands VII (New Beginning)

One listen. Threw myself into this and just wrote. There was some active thinking, but it didn’t overtake everything the way it usually does. I think this is a bit messy, but I also think I get a good idea … Continue reading

Deniz Akbulut: Title

Two listens. I went into this wanting to write something that went along with what the song was doing at any given time, but instead I sort of wrote a review, almost. Kind of. Not quite. More of a trying … Continue reading
