Digital is a string command of zeros and ones. Analog is more like a wave and it’s been called natural as a sound. After living through the beginning and the initial push of AI, I thought I’d try my hand with it. I got lazy and I had other people do it. But it is so cool and I still use it with other people and I think AI is a good tool. This is from a guy who on his first EP just sampled a thunderstorm and some traffic sounds for ambiance. It still sounds great to me, the song Im referring to is titled Pail and Can. But Analog is cool because it has fully synthesized music and by synthesized, I don’t mean like Depeche Mode dance music although that music is great. I just mean it’s completely made out of computer and there’s a very little like that. I try to have 13 songs usually no more than that on an album and this one filled up pretty quick. This is where I started a method with my friend Gi (Kucing Rocker) I would get an idea that would be a little over a day for him. Sometimes faster. Id send The idea as a video and then he would work with it to send it back as a full band song. After that, I would add lyrics. 

After Hernán Cortés violently seized the indigenous people’s land in what us now México. After a few years, a mixed new México people produced “Cow men” or “Cowboys.” They were called “Vaqueros” because cow in Spanish means “vaca.” Science has shown in studies that your attitude about the outside world is what can take you down, not the events of your life that happen to you. You can’t control that but you can learn to be an athlete of your own good-in-the-hood attitude, whatever occurs. Look at Jesus, he knew his death would hurt, but he suffered through to the rising from the dead which opened a new eternal path for billions of souls. Happy Easter. 🐣 Check out my Mexican album Vaquero 🤠 🫡 it us one year old in May 2026, I’ll close with a quote from the folk singer from the 30’s “Woody Guthrie” who also penned “This Land is Your Land”

“ON LIFE: TAKE IT EASY OR TAKE it hard but take it, you have everything you need within you to succeed.”
