This video is music to me, realms outside pop-stardom even though that would sure as hell be nice. But of course it\u2019s not about success or fame or money but of course doing what you love, and that\u2019s what the song\u2019s about, what the music\u2019s about &#8211; and if the result is good enough, if enough time and effort are invested in it, well, let\u2019s show it to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll admit that a strong drink preceded this performance, likely causing some rhythmic inconsistencies, however loosening up body and mind so I\u2019m unleashed and get more physically involved. It\u2019s a tradeoff &#8211; other videos often involve me sitting, kneeling, or standing still for the entirety which sure is no fun to watch &#8211; but the musical quality there can be near-flawless, so ah well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes it&#8217;s deep, improvised, and not exactly radio-friendly, but was entirely good enough to post publicly, regardless the amount of views, likes, so on. Best watch it for its quality, not its popularity, that is the hope. Aside from a quick social media post, it won&#8217;t be promoted. My guitar\u2019s currently getting repaired, and I said publicly that I\u2019d post a video soon, so here it is, dive in, savor, and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sonic Painting\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXP3qIeaqqs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My music is unusual &#8211; deep and spacy, not quite technically flawless, perhaps raggedly recorded &#8211; but the gist is expression, doing something you love to do, plain and simple.
