Today I finished a new short story based on my personal journey through adoption, faith and genetics. You can find the story here and also on YouTube both of which can be accessed via this link or you can watch the video below.
It has been roughly two weeks since my last update, and while there hasn’t been a significant change, I’ve been facing the usual hurdles in Wirestock challenges. The competition is intensifying, with the number of submissions nearing 2,000. Although I haven’t secured a place in any recent challenges, my enthusiasm remains undiminished, and I’ll keep trying. For those interested in exploring my work, I invite you to view my collection on my Wirestock page via the provided link.
Additionally, I’ve ventured into creating two new YouTube videos. The first is a music video titled “The Green Room: Crafting a Trance-like Track from AI-Generated Art into a LOFI Meditative Journey.” This video accompanies my song “The Green Room” from my latest album, “From My Mind,” providing insight into the song’s creation and inspiration. The second video, “MEDITATION MUSIC – LOFI Music and Birds – Peaceful,” is a personal project developed to enhance my meditation practice. It features the harmonious sounds of spring songbirds recorded in my yard, set against a calming LOFI soundtrack I composed using my Akai keyboard. Both videos are accessible below and offer a glimpse into my creative endeavors.
