If not already starting as such, I get weird easily, sideways, if you will. In turn I beat it out of me with a lot of emo music, which I've only come into recently as of about 2024-25 in the later and middle parts of those years respectively. While seeming disjointed, I've made mention of how I feel as if I listen to whatever is thrown at me, sometimes it'll take awhile to stick as well, but once I have a grasp on a sound I like I typically don't deviate from it. Such is the case with how I even got into listening to it, Fall Out Boy.

I usually do the same loop either way, given winter, spring, summer etc. but each time it's different as time rolls on and more people come through and thrash the area around so it always looks different. Typically if ever I'm looking for inspiration with almost anything I can find it on this hike around, but this time was different because I already knew for a few days prior what I wanted to get started on. I chopped a lot of samples and got some loops from stock Windows programs on an old laptop and have been working on those plus a few more plugg beats, sstep team stuff, one or two flips and something I'm new to which is wheel housing Elxnce type beats. Regardless those are generally unimportant, except for the Elxnc...
