the maushaus : my studio



So in case any of you were wondering, i refer to my studio as the maushaus and pretty much always have, just because I had several pet mice when I began building it, and it's also my home, so it just made sense.

I've been working on the remix of Carphax Files "Murder" today, he's got some really crazy vocals going on in this one, so i'm enjoying it a lot. Also in the process i managed to create a set of drum beats for a new track, it's really crunchy and kind of throws you around internally, so i'm excited. i think that's all for now:)

currently in the studio:



I've finished writing lyrics for an instrumental track originally titled "Heartpulp" for a friend's project. His inspiration for the name came from the idea of a tree being overgrown by its own roots, but in relation to my own experience, I found it more about an individual being ripped apart by her own reoccuring analysis of her experiences. You can find what I've written on the lyrics page renamed as "Pieces".

I'm also working on a remix of the Carphax Files track, "Murder", hopefully to be completed very soon.

Chiasm Studio Diary

I've created this studio diary to give people a glimpse into what goes through my head while composing, as well as some insight into what inspires me. It also helps me to sort out my thought process by putting what I'm feeling into words.

I've always felt that writing music is more about the process than the result, but it's difficult to explain to someone that only knows the finished product in their hands. So enjoy reading, live through my experimental ups and downs, and see why I approach music as art, experiencing its many textures and combinations as an emotional masterpiece is created. Through it all I discover that what I'm exploring is what I feel, and that means something to me, truly what counts in the end.
