No Advice, Only Life Experiences

What does your surroundings currently look like? How are you viewing the world?

I am still trying to figure out “all in the mind” concept and understanding of the mind. Of my mind. It would be out of my norm to not know what the main story is in current events that everyone is talking about. I prefer listening to Bitcoin podcasts suggesting to follow the money and unveil what they are not saying with words in the mainstream platforms. Sometimes I also get in my dark places. But, it’s all in the mind?

Are you listening to what you are saying you desire to achieve? Or are you listening to that music and news broadcast programming keeping you in their loop? I had to start asking myself these questions. And truly start thinking about what I watch and what I say. What I listen to and what I think, internally. Without sharing words, completely inside the mind.

Currently I have been in a mode of wanting to share music I’ve created with AI tools. Every song, whether rugged and raw (from the past) or new refined sounds like most I put out this year, 2025; I’ve share my experiences and process of getting where I am hoping to motivate the next generation. In this essence, my writing never stopped. It is currently channelled to the sharing music process.

How does one begin?

Imagine for a moment thinking of a way to tell a story with a title for the album. Similar to having a title for a book. How many songs and song titles will the album host, such as chapters and their names. How will each song in the album communicate with each other and flow from one track to the next? How will they sound independently? Will they all tell a story? The story of the album title? The computer or artificial intelligence will not give you responses or directions without your input first. It starts with you, the user.

Making a song with meaning and intent becomes a part of the process. At the end of 2024, I began my journey joining Suno and started telling the system to make songs that formed with the way I felt about the art I was trying to create. The headaches and self doubtful moments that I faced when I was trying to finish a few overdue canvases with a quality I would be content with. Sometimes, an instrumental without words soothed me best. Giving me that moment to think and move with the sound and let myself go. Paint and trust the flow. If I felt frustration, the instrumental was more electrical. When I was calm, the vibe was more peaceful. I was able to paint my stories with sounds while I worked on airbrush canvases for a client. I finally completed the art in early January 2025.

The songs I started making were with using my lyrics, poems and insert of passages from my experiences that seemed to have a nice flow. Skeptically I move, because there is something that we give up for these upgrades. Intellectual property, for example. I am still trying to grasp what that truly means. As I was moving forward and mind aligned with co-creation with the universe, I made song after song, verse after verse. The album titles appeared connecting the stories in the albums. I’ve been writing about the process of writing my life experience and aligning with that idea in the songs. The principles that were helping me unlock secrets were songs I made. The colors. A song with a color, to later use in airbrush videos as background music.

As Above So Below (The Pendulum Swing) Slow, and one song I wrote as a whole but ended up, through experimenting with the ai tools, that each verse became its own song. I did the best I could to stitch them back into the one song together, as best as I could. And named it Be A Chally In This Optic N Sanity. The cause of this was being skeptical and not trusting my instincts to just go with it. I delayed and split my song to test the waters. No regrets. I actually like how it all came about.

This lead me to writing about the chakras. I was unlocking them as I wrote about them, made a song about it and expressed the energy with music and colors. All the album covers that I use are from airbrush artwork I once made. Most edited on Photoshop or Affinity. To give these all these songs more of my human touch and creativity, I took the songs I made with ai tools into a Dj platform called YouDJ. Just as DJs have taken songs, remixed them and packaged them as their own unique mix, down south we called them Mix Tapes and Screwtapes. I also took these songs I co-created with ai and remixed them, slowing the down, speeding them up and linking them together as one whole flow. Then separate them again to make one song per chakra color, with the complete version at the end.

At the moment all the questions introduced in the beginning were not a factor. They were already answered by just going with the flow.

There was no intent to release around 88 songs just this year alone in 2025. I just put one album together first and kept going from there. I picked an airbrush art design for the cover with the title added. Chakra Battle Slowdown (Slowed & Afloat) with songs labeled as G-Rated (our brand), YouDJ (mixing platform) Sunomix (ai tool music platform. Even though research mentioned allowing time between releases, I took off to the next album Chakra Battle Slowdown Part Deux, and Airbrush Mixed #ArtMusic as well. Along with a few singles and EPs.

All telling their own story. Each song, each experience. I became tired of listening to their stories on the news and ‘regular programming” mainstream narratives. I prefer listening to my stories instead. Stories of us figuring this out together for the better. As I quote on my songs, journals and art “two teach four teach forever more.” Keep telling yourself the same story and it becomes real. As real as reality, to where their reality becomes an illusion and yours becomes whatever you make it be.

I would love billions of ears to feel my music. I am also good with me and those that feel influenced and/or inspired by any of my songs. Even the number one played still the “Cheech and Chong” one. I think on TikTok it was a sample of a sample where I mentioned it was a beat I had heard that many used and those reached millions. My desire is you live the best version of you, however that looks to you. Each interpretation is unique and great. I enjoy seeing creations.

I have high hopes for technology and humanity. Not the whole merging our bodies with them for myself personally. It is taking us to where our minds create endless possibilities. Who knows. I am having fun doing these projects, then a sudden shift from many on the fears of AI technology and what does it mean for our… It feels as if we are in one of those Sci-Fi movies. Are we going through one of these cycles again? Similar to how Battlestar Galactica ends?

The significance of the album Here We Go On Another Mission was a shout out to those Sci-fi movies making reality seem like a movie somewhat. Is it the past, present or future they are showing us? It is also a catch phrase around here because we go from one mission to another. Life experiences. What we make it be.

I asked chat how I could promote my music a bit more, now that I have released many songs this year. It suggested Audius platform with its blockchain features and token called Audio. This platform also started allowing artists to have their own artist coins as we have with $ICT Inspired Creative Tokens, https://audius.co/coins/ICT

I’ve enjoyed using this platform and interacting with messages and comments as I release songs once or twice a week. There seems to be more interaction between artists and supporters. There are also many bots and fake accounts, but what platform doesn’t. YouTube has not really been as great for me as I would like it to be. Seems something there is holding back. Possibly paying for advertising. Either way, I enjoy still sharing videos there and on other social medias. The more the songs I made are heard and spread, the better the success for the music to continue gaining exposure. So I have been on this mission lately. Promoting my music. Telling stories in the descriptions about how the songs came about sometimes. Put out new remixes of the already remixed songs. Sometimes it is going back to the original mix that had not been released, with a tweak. Or something different. While doing these new releases on Audius, I am setting up for future albums to be released. – The Remixes

Here I get the opportunity to write out the story of how it was all put together. From my mind to digital version we can listen to or video we can view.

There were quite a few times I wrote out the concepts, and some projects that were not successful in some ways but very much successful in the lessons we learned. It seems we are now entering the arena again. This time this is becoming the trend. Buckle up and get ready for what is next. I believe they call it ‘tokenizing everything’ and controlling the networks. Time to take those lessons learned and know how to make moves carefully. Not a gamble to get rich quick. It seems they are playing an economic game and new rules will apply. Scams and issues will continue, especially for many who will need assistance even connecting to the networks they create. Those that know, know to self custody. But that is a network as well, and the digital revolution has begun. Even in order to continue stacking sats, there are still so many using alternative systems, and I find it easier to create a new wallet and start fresh with this new accounts being released, that are most likely being (friendly) and connecting all networks for efficiency and other features. DYOR.

So as I mentioned, Here We Go On Another Mission, joining a platform that hosts music on the blockchain, “earning my way as a music artist” and I am working on my new site for canvases and mural wall art. I am also starting to move forward with my student pilot journey. I took the longer timespan absorbing the information and studying as best as I can without workbooks. Then I read the book. Listened to as many podcasts in background and as entertainment / education. Recently took my Discovery Flight and setting up a schedule for the following lessons. Airbrushes & Airplanes.

The several layers of stories and art projects combined. Airbrush art, music and flying. Inspiration for the next generations. Even if the only message I can give is “if that is what you desire, I have done what I have desired to do and continue to. So can you.”

I am sure this was not the idea I had when I was living as a drafter for and oil and gas corporation, that I would be flying airplanes and sharing my airbrush artwork across the world. Traveling as an artist. Planning the life I am living now and living the way I do. In many ways I feel better now than I did then, when I was younger. It is all in the mind?

Sometimes I wonder if there were no songs that I could use to help me study Aviation available, or did I not search enough so that I could just go for it. Either way, I used the Phonetic Alpha numeric series in a few songs (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu) sometimes in order, or mixed in the song or out of order. I still type each word to keep testing my memory. Since I swapped Lima for Luna on a couple of songs, I noticed in one of my descriptions I forget to type Lima. I created this playlist called Fly High Luna Up in the Sky with the songs about Aviation that I released mixed with artists who also made music about Aviation, or flying. Those fly songs.

I’ve been learning about Coin Gating with a couple releases of songs. One song that I experimented with was a long track slowed with some of the Aviation songs and background Aviation sounds. I enjoy playing it when I am about to go to sleep. I still need to listen to something as I rest, I guess. The other platforms play unwanted ads when you least expect or are on guard with their tricks to make you believe what they want you to believe. Even if you select to not be given ads about Drugs and Meds, they sneak them into rotation. I can’t stop them and all I need is background noise for an hour at least. I was able to get that song at about an hour and a half under the $ICT coin gated access, Fly High Luna Sky.

This is where we are headed, I believe, in the digital era. I don’t mean to get old on you, but some of us lived in a time where we had to teach our parents to use cell phones, smart phones, internet, debit cards, and many electronic features that seem simple and child’s play. We had to learn how to connect the yellow, red, white wires to yellow, red, white slots. Sometimes blue or green. Adapt or get left behind. I think we will be teaching many the new tools and technologies soon. No more tape decks in your self driving cars. LOL.

Work will look different soon, so hope you enjoy working the way work looks. Also, I find alternative ways to earn. Those experiments with NFTs still help me. Rug pulls and all other swaps performed in trades and crypto are real and threats on the internet. They say the threat now is not owning Bitcoin and/or digital assets. It’s our kids. What are we leaving behind for our kids?

I would like to continue having adventures. Whether by myself or with family or friends. Journal my journey in several forms. Typing, writing, music, art, or setting the camera to record. I still have those stories of when I got stabbed and when I felt betrayed. But there are several of how we overcame.
