Music Producer - Tumblr Posts
Studying some jazz theory, I need my piano chops to improve to create better music. When I practice I start with some
-scales, been focusing on natural and harmonic minor, minor and major blues
-Hanon exercises
- ii-V-I’s (right hand four voices, some times three when I’m messing with a tritone voicing I learned.
- Then I usually start having fun and creating there from ideas I’ll generate from my exercises.
jazzology by Robert Rawlins is my current resource of study.

The Germans have a saying... “Ubung macht dem Meißter „ The poetic translation to English would be something like "practice makes perfect„ .
For me I like the literal translation here better “ Practice Makes the Master”.
The Master knows that perfection does not really exist as an artist. But we chase it anyway in hopes that we may all become masters of our craft.

Gamers! Can you hear this playing in the background of a game you play? To me it sounds like music for a video game screen where something is loading or your selecting character traits… except for the end where i had way to much fun with the bongos hahaha! I was #feelingmyself

A random amalgamation of videos. The clips are significant because all of the was shot while I was still teaching full time.
A lot of my videos were shot with comic type filters because i still didn’t feel %100 comfortable expressing my full artistic self.
I suppose #differentmoney the track that I rapped on is an extension of this expression. The transition from educator to artist and back again every day as I would commute to school in the BX but have studio sessions all over the city 🏙️.
I think thats why I left the mistake at the end of the track. Mr. Washington the music educator would have wanted as close to perfection as possible. Teach_or_Trav my inner artist creates with reckless abandon and doesnt give a f@ck wut u think !😮💨
In “The Artists’ Way” Julia Cameron is adamant about prescribing weekly artists dates to take time to be present and heal your artistic soul.
This week I decided to go to a rooftop spot in the city that always brings me joy and peace. I did nothing but allow my self to experiment with sounds and play on my #mpclive2

I’m glad I took some time for myself to do this because normally I wouldn’t. It was a stressful week and I was not in the mood to create or go to a different borough iykyk.
I found my flow there and for a few hours, release from all my worries and anxieties. It was dopeful.
What has been the most interesting are the ways in which the universe yields to you when you declare to yourself and the world that you are an artist and mean it.
When things seem down, you keep creating, when things are good, you keep creating. You do this to show the universe that you are indeed the artist you say you are. After a while, in the most unexpected times, the god momentum which has taken over starts attracting people, resources, ideas 💡, and muses.
You begin to create things you never thought were possible. You find out how strong you are made and how resilient you truly are. You realize though, that that strength, and endless flowing of creative ideas comes from the original declaration. “I AM AN ARTIST” This declaration mixed with consistent creation everyday is where the alchemy flows and where the magic is made. It is what makes the shuffling back and forth from the conscious to subconscious realms possible.
Just some music production notes from beat academy.
Just a lil finger drumming practice on my mpc live 2…
I’ve been using the arpeggiator function recently on my mpc. It’s pretty dope once you set your chord progression because it opens up all melodic instruments and synths to way more possibilities!
