I can’t help it. I love making music that blinds the eye and cuts deep into the spine. It’s my drug and I am addicted. I don’t try to over sample my projects and I get into the equipment without getting lost on one particular thing.
A friend told me once, and I’ll never forget.."If it don’t fit, don’t force it." Thanks LZ.
