Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
The week's been flying by like crazy, but we made it!
Update:
I've been keeping surprisingly busy by working on my stream and preparing videos for the Youtube channel! Wednesday's music review stream went really well, and I'm really happy with the submissions we got! I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday editing the stream down for Youtube, which was a lot more time consuming than I expected. However, I found the process really rewarding so I definitely want to keep doing these streams for you guys!
If you're not in the know, I recently did my first music review stream where I reviewed the music sent in by viewers. You can watch a highlight reel here:

The video isn't blowing up like crazy, but I plan to keep this series up anyway. My hope is that if I consistently keep this series going every week, the channel will eventually grow to some nice heights! Plus, I just find it to be a lot of fun!
I've been considering how to involve you guys, my Patrons, into the videos I plan to make. I decided today that I'll be bringing back the segment where I read out Patron's names at the end of my videos. I stopped doing those for a while because I grew pretty tired of putting out the videos I was doing at that point. At the time I was putting out my Patreon mixes, in which I didn't feel right adding my voice in at the end. Since I'm already talking a lot with my new avatar in this new series though, I think it'll be a good time to bring that back! So expect to get mentioned in the next one if you're in the Rotti tier! Solanin tier Patrons will get mentioned in text!
Phew, I had a lot more to write than I expected there. Onto the track...
Track:
I was looking for an old project on my mac a few days ago when I stumbled upon this project, which I wasn't expecting to find at all. This track is from back in the pre-virus days, when I was going out to coffee shops in Boston doing tracks on my macbook (as shown in the Rotti cover art). A lot of the times after my college classes I would get a track done to chill out for a bit. It was really great being able to whip out my laptop wherever I was and get a track done right then and there, which is something I haven't done in a good while for obvious reasons.
I had no intentions of finding this track at all, and I only found it because of my terrible naming scheme for project files while looking for something completely different. The working title for this thing was melonv2. What that was supposed to mean, I have no idea. My best guess was that it was a Melonade remix where I eventually moved on from the Melonade sample. Either way, I'm surprised I lost the track, since I actually think it has an interesting sound that maybe could've fit well on my latest album. Oh well, too late for that!
Closing:
That's all for now guys! I'll be posting some more art tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that! And also keep an eye out for my next stream on Twitch! I'm really serious about this streaming stuff, so I hope you guys will accompany me in this journey! Next stream will be Sunday 2PM Est with Moka Yume while they work on art, then Wednesday while we review some more music!
