Soil & “Pimp” Sessions: 16 Blues

This one mostly came easy but I don’t know if that’s a good thing. I did less overthinking which is good, but I don’t know if it paid off here. That said, I think I captured the progression of the … Continue reading

Ryota Kozuka: If You Wish To Live, Take My Hand

This is another one that I did over three listens. It’s a short song and it doesn’t have much within it, but here it was more about giving me time to write more than it was time to explore, so … Continue reading

Ryota Kozuka: Ephemeral

This one was over three listens. I went more for a sense of imagery – I think – as, whilst I think this is an okay piece of music, it’s also really on the nose and forgettable. Had I spent … Continue reading

Soil & “Pimp” Sessions: Mingus Fan Club

Jeffrey Fayman and Robert Fripp: The Stars Below

Hiroshi Yamaguchi: Sei-an City (Commoners’ Quarter)

Hiroshi Yamaguchi: Sei-an City (Aristocratic Quarter)

I need to do this less often when I’m about to go to sleep. I tried to go with feel as I was trying to get across something that would be representative of the song’s title, but I’m not sure … Continue reading

Mitsuto Suzuki: The Void Beyond

I was doing alright with this one but had to restart a bit of the way in, so it was roughly two listens for this bit of writing. The last few days have been rather long and left little room … Continue reading

Rei Kondoh: Cursed Sei-an City

Three listens and I don’t feel I took advantage of the time I took to write this. There was a fair bit of time where I was looking over what I wrote rather than expanding and that hampered the writing … Continue reading
