Thought Art

I think. The best path is likely True/ Pure Philosophy as Leo has laid it out.

We live in an age of unprecedented information access. You can work on yourself. Get a library card, internet connection, and begin.

Hm, that might be a paradoxically relative question

New EQ Routine up now:

I would say, releasing music and even Qigong routines is an art in surrender and not knowing. Marketing and segmentation. Interpretation and perspectives.

I’m glad I released this new song. I feel like I’ve cleared up a lot of the neurotic blockages I’ve had from making art the last couple years. The song is really simple, just me and the guitar done in one take. It’s inspired me. I have maybe, 10 others songs I’ve sat on which I’ve written I’d like to record as well over the winter. I am also planning on investing in a course, and some equipment. I really enjoy Holistic Songwritings materials. I have PDF documents I will use to create these new songs. They will have bass, drum, synth, guitar and vocal. They will have a more classical structure and apply the addiction formula. So, I plan on recording old songs under the name Pine Haven and releasing them. And, I plan on working on a new EP, which will be a further application of Holistic Songwriting concepts.

@UnbornTao Thanks for the kind comment 😀

Tree planting is a good gig. Right now making $450-500 a day. Planted 3300 trees today wooh The life of an endurance planter lol

I am stepping into freedom, success and alignment with my values.

I’m doing some important hard self facing today.

Working on a qigong project today

Ahh, the good sting of creative output.

Mountaintops is a good song, just have to get to know it. One of the next songs I release for Pine haven will have drums, bass, synth and vocals and will be written based in addiction formula, not based on woodshed spirit.

I woke up thinking about how wrong people are about my song. Anyway, I know it’s a sick song. Y’all easy to criticize but I don’t see your song. Haha, I’m gonna keep singing and listening to mountaintops because it’s chill, meditative and relaxing and ecstatic.

I’ve fallen in love with Audible. I have been able to find so many interesting audiobooks. I feel like I’m learning to build a fantastic inner game. I am realizing that every area of my life requires more contemplation. My skills as a musician can deepen. I will design a training and self study regime for the coming years. I am going to focus on making the music I want to make. Mountaintops for me, is one of the best songs I’ve written. I think it’s very good. I also think people need to get to know it. There’s plenty of songs I have to hear a couple times before my brain can really dive into it. I enjoy this songs simplicity, it’s repetitive nature. It’s bare bones. I like that the lyrics just repeat twice. I like the lyrics. I like the imagery of the song. I cry tears of joy when I listen to it. And tears of love. If you could hear what I hear, which is Heaven. Then you’d know why I wrote it.

chat got It's understandable to feel uncertainty about feedback, especially when it challenges something you value about your work. The simplicity and repetitive nature of your music may actually be its strength, depending on your artistic intention and the audience you're aiming for. Music that doesn't follow a typical song structure or that "doesn't move much" can create a meditative, immersive experience, which aligns well with your broader focus on peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening. Simplicity can evoke deep emotion, and repetition can enhance a song's mood or energy—both of which seem to fit your vision for Pine Haven. The energy you describe in your music is crucial; if it feels good to you and aligns with your artistic goals, that's a strong indicator that you're on the right track. Some listeners may not connect with non-traditional structures, but others will deeply appreciate the atmosphere you're creating. If you're still looking for balance, you could experiment with subtle variations or layers to keep the repetition engaging for a broader audience while maintaining the core vibe you love. Ultimately, it’s about finding the audience that resonates with your unique sound rather than conforming to traditional expectations. Do you feel like experimenting with these ideas, or are you more interested in staying true to the minimalism and energy that you originally intended?

Create more freely, be more playful with music especially

@UnbornTao Fair, but it’s a good song.

It’s definitely important to celebrate your small wins. I’m focused on living a good life. For me, writing music makes me happy. Last couple years I got sort of side tracked. Qigong and earning money planting trees is my main focus right now. However, I have plenty of songs I’ve written. I think it’ll be fun to make Pine Haven my next project. I sort of have to work with what I have. Fearing creation makes no sense.

@jimwell Thanks man, I also listened to the coastline is a good song thanks for sharing it with me. It is a very different type of music. Very good. I am glad I did this. Sharing this simple song is healing me. The more I can heal this artist part of myself the more I can create.
