Love what you are doing, you are an inspiration!
Likewise! I hope all is well with you and yours!
Dude, every video reminds me why I’m here in the first place. I was hoping the title wasn’t as literal as it turns out to be. I’m a mess creatively right now, but I can feel motivation brewing. Your work inspires me to do work!!! Hang in there Scott, and thank you as always for sharing. 🤘🏻
Brew that motivation, bro!
I feel you man. I started writing sci-fi books ten years ago and loved it. I was active duty navy and thought I could get to the point I could go full time by the time I retired from the navy. At one point I was close, but then my productivity dropped and I was overwhelmed. By the time I retired I had one book left to publish and it fizzled. I retired right at the beginning on the pandemic, and lost the job I had lined up about two weeks prior to getting out of the military. I scrambled and actually failed up into a great new career. But my writing became a burden to the point I quit for a year and a half.
I started writing again last July and have recently published a new book, got a publishing deal for a new series, and refocused on marketing to the point I’m generating an income again.
I know it’s disheartening to have your plans blow up in front of you, but maybe it’s an opportunity to propel yourself to new heights.
Good luck man.
Thats a great story bud, keep it going!!!
Dear Drew, I still am at sea, offshore tugboats.. And I still don't allow my spirit to quit. No chances. Sometimes is dam tough depending on the crew I am being a part of but in the end I always land with some demo to hit the studio with. And you know what? The tougher the sea the deeper the riffs. At least we have some real stuff to tell into music. Dudes, WE DON'T QUIT. NEVER. ❤
@the Bunn, fellow musician and artist here. Not quite as far along in my journey but I had a similar experience. Lived up north and was working, painting, and practicing 🎸 every waking hour which culminated in me starting my own home buisiness to sell my art etc. Then covid hit, forced me to close shop. I've since relocated to Az back up and running playing solo and displaying my work. I've been following your story along the way and it's helped motivate me to keep going even when I doubt myself. Thank you, and rock on
This really hits home for me. A few months into finally getting a tiny studio in my bedroom up and running I received some rough news. I had acquired a monitor to edit on, I had a desk big enough to hold it, as well as having enough space to leave my audio interface plugged in and computer ready at all times. Small steps for some but massive for me.
I had just launched this channel, a channel dedicated to music, and I had to leave all that behind and leave the country with my family. Instruments and all. I currently have no idea when we are able to return, and we are staying in various Air Bnbs currently, just waiting to be able to return.
I didn't want to let something like that stop me from what I had set out to do, with either of my channels, so stopping wasn't an option. Adapting was the only option on the table. I am currently working on releasing my debut album as an artist/creative, and I am writing midi guitar in the meantime. I have no instruments at all, not even a midi keyboard.
It's not ideal, and it's certainly very frustrating to have to work like this. To not even have a space set up and ready to go, to have questionable wifi and no control over my acoustics or surroundings.
So I feel you here Scott, and I'm sorry this happened. Hopefully something really cool can come of it one day, once you are far enough on the other side of this forced change to see where it brought you.
And lastly man, your videos are some of the best on RUclips, and thank you for sharing them with all of us. From a very selfish point of view, I hope you never stop doing this.
All the best to you.
You are doing an AMAZING job of pressing forward Sir. It is inspiring to me which is probably why we are connected. Doing what one can with what one has is what will provide for one to do more. Stoked!
With so many options available it's easy to get lost and distracted in the sea of WELL IF I HAD THIS I or THAT I could do this or that, it's been a nice change for me to write by hand the past 4 months and not use technology, or lack thereof as an excuse to why I don't do what I'm compelled to do. . As a wife and mother of 2 I'm cooking and cleaning and playing and sometimes making excuses not to do what I need to do on top of family life.. life can be demanding, but allowing myself to go to my notebook when inspiration strikes has been an important step for me to take. I'm not abandoning the rest of my life to write. . I've had to change my thinking, give up guilt driven ideas and relax into myself.
Yesssss! It seems that a lot of us get caught in that loop of thinking that we have to "do so much" to get where we want to go but end up doing nothing because of our "lack of time". I was stuck in that for quite a while. Your example of "allowing myself to go to my notebook when inspiration strikes" really hits home. On my own path, taking that 15, 30, or 60 min every day was what got me out of the slump of waiting for the "perfect" situation to start creating. It was amazing what that amounted to after 6 years. Stoked for you to see it and allow yourself those moments. They make all of the difference.
If you haven't already, check out the VSTs "Loki" and "Odin" by Solemn Tones. They're sampled from real instruments, ready for low tunings, and since they're clean DIs you can run them through any virtual or live rig. A little attention to articulation, some randomization, and you can make guitar/bass tracks that are basically indistinguishable from the real thing.
Sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through - I wish the best for you and yours fwiw!
Rooting for you so hard, man. This transparency you bring to the struggle of trying to make a living from music and dealing with all of the reality of it and the setbacks... Thank you for all of it. Keep going, you're making it!
Go, Bunn, Go!
Dude. That totally sucks about the studio. I lost my art studio and I know how much it can throw a monkey wrench into your way of thinking and moving through your day/life. I’ll be honest, I haven’t gotten my studio back YET, but I am still working on paintings and being creative as much as possible. The creative life is never easy, but there is a tribe of us out here rooting for you to succeed. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for this channel, everyday I experience crippling self doubt. I have a netsec career during the day, but after hours I record guitar mostly prog metal. I’ve made some good songs. I’ve covered yngwie, periphery, meshuggah, etc. so I can play technical too, but adhd, and work requirement have made it difficult to balance. I look to this channel as a reminder that I should never give up, it’s my will to power to do this. I’ll die before I surrender. Anyway thank you !
Just discovered your content. I find your story very inspiring. I'm also struggling to find an audience against tall odds while dealing with personal problems and starting to get older. Thanks for putting yourself out there. You are reaching people.
Buddy, when I saw the title I was like I can’t believe it, but now I totally understand. The whole world is going through hard times right now and everything is changing. I follow you for a quite long time now and one thing I can say is that you inspires me a lot, specially on your videos, I love your edits, transitions, colourations, everything. You are so artistic guy and one thing you could think about is giving lessons about how to create a good video, for exemple cameras, softwares, light effects etc etc…
I’m starting on Davinci Resolve and watching some tutorials on RUclips but I’d definitely pay for a class with you. Thank you for being yourself!
Everything is gonna be fine, cheers mate :)
Recently my band had to give-up the space we have been renting since 2014 and id completely destroyed our productivity. While me and both guitarist can easily work at home and even have nice setups, both drummer and vocalist don't have a way to do so because they are the ones who cannot play silently and live on rented homes that they cannot afford to modify in a meaningful way.
New spaces we have found either don't allow for long term rent, are completely not prepared in terms of isolation or are basically shitholes with not security whatsoever.
bunn i swear your videos are the most entertaining, informative, and aesthetically beautiful ones I've seen on youtube, stay strong and keep doing what you do!
Hey man! Sorry about the studio! I've been there before, but in a way it pushed me into where I am at right now. Getting all messed up creatively through this disturbance of my flow estate (I was painting, illustrating, building up some reputation, until 2008 economical crisis left me with a backpack in a dodgy room in a dodgy village in the UK) pushed me to make the best of the situation turning it into something much better than it was before. I am truly rooting for you, keep kicking ass with your amazing sound! 🤘
Dude! Your story is so reflective of mine over the last few decades. I grew up playing guitar since age 6. I got into hip hop big time in the late 80,s and started producing, collecting records and building my studio. At 19 I had my first studio and it has evolved over the years. In 2003, I decided to go to a music school to get my engineering degree. I was the oldest person at school! I was 30 then. After graduation I moved back to my hometown of Chicago and began interning at local studios. I starved! Luckily I had some family support. My view and passion of music had changed at this point. I did not find passion in creating anymore and did not know how to continue. As most musicians, I feel depression is a huge inspiration.
I took a job making good money, working my ass off while in the back of my mind I knew I needed music. I spent four years working seven days a week, 12 hour days for years!
I decided I had made enough money and decided to move from Chicago to Augusta ga. My plan was to find a rental spot and open a studio. I found a spot and I was getting a lot of rappers. Not like the hip hop I love so dearly, this was Terrible! So...I closed down and put my studio in my home. I had everything I yearned for! A home, tons of nice gear, walls of records but yet...no interest
I ate some mushrooms and meditated on my situation. I decided to sell everything and take time for other interests I dove deep into kayak fishing and started a RUclips channel called Bassholes KAyak Fishing.
I noticed that I had found a new creative outlet for myself where I could step away from music, but still be creative. I put tons of hours into bassholes shooting content, traveling, becoming obsessed with something new and creative! Only to find myself asking the same questions as you now!
I decided to sell my kayak stuff and rebuild my studio! Even better then before! I sold my cameras, etc crap I didn’t really need like lights, etc. I already talk to myself and found out no one really wants to listen to me so...I put my interest back in my music. No cameras for now! Just health, gym, music, gardening and life. I work a city job that pays the bills and slots me plenty of free time. Now I am just trying to comprehend life, find a balance again and create for soul and not views or numbers.
I haven’t left RUclips for good. I have left all social media until I can recoup some personal time and get some things in order. It does take a huge toll on the soul. To be a content creator. Lord knows! At our age, it’s even tougher brother. I loved your stuff! You inspired me to take my music to different levels and put stuff out there. I got faith in ya kiddo. Reflect,regroup, grow again when its right brother
Good story!
First of all; Your video editing is epic, I mean like Cinema Epic.
The outcome of this (as one alike) I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a break of paradigms on the best way possible, an optimal outcome.
Congratulations for now and in advance for the ones you know will come. It’s going to be super awesome, man!
Hey Mr Bunn , really enjoy your videos and your music , havent seen any uploads for a while , hope you are doing good and not struggling with Corona aftermath
Good luck man! If you release a bundle, you should call it The Bunndle.
Geez, that’s one hell of a schedule you laid out. Love your videos, now I have to check out your loops. Glad you’re better.
Glad to see your back.
Got my 8 string Agile last we talked and just pulled the trigger on a 30" scale Agile 9 string. If this low tuning life is a sickness, I'm terminal!
I sold my old 2002 Honda Civic to keep the studio space. But, I'm mostly working out of my bedroom. I haven't posted lately due to personal reasons, but found your channel a couple months ago and I finally found you again. Subbed! I wish you the best!
So one of the things I personally really like lately is when bands/artists do play throughs, like the omnific and polyphia. Not only do I watch these videos, but I also REWATCH them (ad $), something I never do with normal youtube videos. It doesn't need to be super fancy like a "music video", I just want to see what it looks like to play these amazing riffs that I have been listening to all day while I'm at work. If you can include tablature at the bottom, even better. It doesn't even have to be the full song, people love these "shorts" anymore. This way you can create something new, from something you already have and know well. Best of luck brother, keep doing what you are doing!
I love watching the progress, soon as you know it. You’ll be at 100k subs. 🎊
I had to give up my RUclips channel for a while because the ad revenue didn’t cover my bills after a while. I was down about that for a while. But i’ve since realized that it’s just one step in the process towards realizing the bigger dream. Gotta eat those problems for breakfast if i want to be successful. Even though they might be insanely big and problematic hurdles at times. Great video dude
I'm in a vary similar boat to you bro. I had to give up a space at the beginning of the year and move my still small editing suite back to my small living space. I'm still here. my production is a bit slower still but it's made my finances balance out better . I'm not on the level that you are bunn but you are a vary adaptive dude and a great problem fixer. You will find a way that works for you. Stay on your path. You are still inspiring me and many more like minded dudes and dudess's ! Bunn for life! 🏆💫✌️
Good luck with the new space brother, I’m pulling for you!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you for your videos. Your content is unique and fills a need in my life. Please do a 2022 baritone guitar round-up video and include those that have lefty variations as I'm in the hunt. I appreciate it!
Dig how you unpack your thoughts & creative process with an eye towards the context switches & managing the overall cognitive load
I worked as a pro for 13 years straight but major life problems forced me to quit an array of solid income streams, leave the city with my connections and become a full time caregiver for my ALZ mother and thought it was over forever
Somehow in a tiny rural town via the internet I met new people and forged a new direction in house & techno and got over 50 12” vinyl releases nationally distributed via a bunch of small indie dance labels
Wishing you the best on whatever journey you’re on. Monetize first, create second is the opposite of what most creatives tend do but securing the revenue is key to giving you the space for your personal creativity
You have no realized gains or losses until you QUIT for good
Dude, I can totally relate with this. Six months ago I had to move very abruptly and out of nowhere, and it's been tricky trying to get everything back in order, but things are slowly coming around. I have since joined the M1 family, got REAPER set up and am starting to learn it! I'm currently working on a new release for the next Bandcamp Friday and it's a heavy one! I'm bringing back the guitars with a mighty ch0nk and can't wait to see how it turns out! Super stoked to hear the new Foreigns! You are awesome at what you do, and you're such a super rad chill dude! Hopefully if I can get to Toronto anytime soon, we can meet up for a coffee or something, that would be rad!
Duuuude.. If you came to Toronto, we'd break the city with HUGE RIFFS!!!!
all that head-space is actually awesome.
You are an inspiration to many. Always be proud of it.
The Bunn bundle? You can call it The Bunndle. 🤘😄
Never give up bun. You're an inspiration
Good luck man. It's tough out here on the RUclips streets. My biggest mistake is I didn't pump out videos and live streams. I finally finished a home space where I can do that so we are both in the same boat right now.
It's really hard not to like you man. You're someone who's been going at it so long and it's just so epic... I wish you all the best, and may you reach your dreams!
I’m still in the process of adapting to a significant upheaval in lifestyle and loss of 75% of my previous income dating back to 2020 and the onset of COVID. I’m working towards building two RUclips channels, one primarily music and the other for Fantasy/Sci-Fi topics. I’ve had to dive headlong into learning multiple new disciplines including 3D Art/Animation/Environments as well as drawing in addition to multiple instruments that I continue to practice and study. It’s a slow burn, but hopefully I’ll build enough income to replace enough of what was lost and it will be doing what I love and not working for someone else.
I think in terms that are current. What i mean by that is that holding on to things that cant stay or want to leave saps my energy. I quickly begin changing the view/my perception to make the most of the "new situation". The new situation is the current balanced version of my last view/perception. So the world worked with me to give me what i wanted. Now i have to figure out why it looks "this way" instead of "the way I envisioned". In the sacrifice, you have settled the old and move forward with what is "now". This will make you stronger and braver you let it. This will challenge the way you thought before if you let it. I love to find out what the universes "vote" was. Because there is no such thing as coincidence.
I respect your transparency and hard work you put in.
You better call it the Bunn-dle
Dude your vibes are infectious, whenever I watch your content - instant inspiration ❤
Amazing content. I 100% hear you. Me myself have 3-4 projects running at the same time. It is ridiculously hard to switch between them push them all forward when you are alone.
Dang! 31K subs 🤘🧐🤘 Let's Keep it GROWING! Congratulations Brother!
Thank Jei! Hope you are well!
It's gonna be allright, man!
In a modern digital world you don't need a fancy studio to make great music and produce awesome sounding records. And acoustically prepared space is vastly overrated.
It's really challenging to make music, videos and auxilliary stuff all at once, but you devised a very workable system! Just don't forget to take a day off once in a while. It's very important to mind your health, physical and mental, so take care! Cheers!
I love watching your videos!!! Amazing cinematography and editing and you have a natural feel for entertaining vlog format
Sweet that your sticking in, Your channel keeps me motivated to do more to release my music🖖⚡️
Glad to see you keep going still love this series
Man, thank you. This is exactly what I needed now.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips.
Love all the art in your space!
Rad! Thanks Treggify, it's my ladie's work - instagram.com/carriemcintyreart/
Hey Bunn,
Good to see you back and recovered from Covid. I've been drawing on your work ethic for my own music and my own work. I'm finishing a Ph. D. and needing to look for new jobs, tend to unemployment, and still find the time for myself, to make music, and to be active. Sometimes this stuff feels like a bunch of setbacks and a never-ending to-do list that has more tasks added than removed. Everyone has their own challenges, and I'm happy to see that you're attacking yours with positivity and structure.
The point you bring up about structure is a good one. I've been working as a student advisor alongside my Ph. D. and for years I have been telling people that structure is what gets things done. You can't wait for inspiration or motivation. You've just got to lay one brick down at a time and any progress, no matter how small, is still good progress. Setbacks happens, life happens, but trying to maintain some structure even in a reduced capacity is important to staying on top of stuff.
I've also been juggling different jobs and responsibilities the last few years, and I can agree that task switching is a difficult thing. My head needs some space and time to clear out before moving onto the next task, if the task is markedly different. Instead of breaking down a single day into multiple different tasks, I've been trying to manage one task each day and breaking up the week. I find it gives me the motivation to get a big task done, gives me a full evening and night of sleep to decompress and reset, and then I can meet a new task the next day and commit to it. It doesn't always go according to plan, but it is a useful structure. The point is, for anyone reading comments, figure out a structure that works for you and try to stick with it.
Hopefully the new working space proves itself useful. The idea of short form videos is a good idea as well. If you can knock out filming 4-5 videos in a single day, you save time on lighting and rigging setup, which is time that can be spent on other tasks, like editing, script writing, etc. I think you have a decent audience here who would appreciate seeing shorter videos for a while. Good luck.
thanks for sharing, you rock, keep going no matter what!
Everything happens for a reason 🙏
Incredibly good and insightful video, Scott!
Good luck in the new space! I hope you find a good rhythm!
Thank you for the inspiration, I going through something similar with my own business. It’s hard because I’m going throw rought times, both personally and financially, is difficult to make good decisions under that stress. How you focus on different topics is giving me ideas on how to keep going on💪💪💪
BUNNdle. I saw what you did. Love ya.
Dude, same, I got covid last week and tested negative last friday and I'm constantly tired.
Take care.
On the rest of the video, I really admire your motivation to get started but also your discipline to be able to stick to a schedule.
Oh man! I'm sorry, covid stinks and that post, fog business is super real. Glad that you are on the mend.
Your an inspiration mate! Keep on keeping on brother!
BEST LUCK Man, is noty so easy to free the mind, be an artist and live is this crazy moment, best luck
Damn, so glad you're alright, just a week ago i was thinking "where did the Bunn disappear?"
I want to thank you very much for this perspective. Going through something similar. Thank you!
All the best for you. 🌲
I don’t know why the algorithm got me AWAY from your videos. I’m really GLAD this one showed up. You have a great way of explain things and your shots are always killer! Love the transparency too. Super fascinating.
sigh, thanks for this, i needed this after being booted out of my band.
Moving places, losing my designated office was a huge setback as all of my stuff was suddenly spread across my new place, parents basement and rehearsal space and it just drove me insane.
But in the long run it forces me to go back to the "drawing board" and rethink the "what's and why's" of my RUclips endeavors. Also being short on time due to parenthood forces me to boil it down, which helps me because I tend to be a little all over the place with my ideas.
Working on concepts that can be done efficiently and still have a range of stuff without spreading myself too thin.
100% That "going back to the drawing board" has always been an important step for me. Seems to show up in some way every 5 or so years. Totally feeling all of this. Hope you are well brother!
@@thebunn yeah, I think regardless of your situation you need to sit back and re-calibrate every once in a while. analyze what you're doing and take a look at everything "3rd person".
working to get more stuff out, hope you are recovering from the covidz!
Great content, amazing production value, stylish design…. Keep it up. I got kick out of my first post production studio space which force me to rent a much bigger but a lot more expensive space. We sublet half to be able to afford it. 9 years on, we taken over the whole space and the business is thriving. It was a blessing in disguise.
Another great video, Bunn. I relate to you more and more as I watch. I have recently realized that I may have ADD/ADHD, which I think is one of my biggest challenges when it comes to productivity and also life in general. Seeing how you organize your day is helpful, I just couldn't help but notice that a day job isn't part of it. Unless I have missed something about that, your tenacity and industriousness in making it work without that reliable source of income is very admirable.
That high staircase opening might be seriously good reverb "chamber" with the right mic's✌
I'd like to more about all of that art at your crib. some cool stuff there.
Stoked that you are stoked on it! My lady is the painter - instagram.com/carriemcintyreart/ www.carriemcintyre.com/
Good luck. I really enjoy the content, and I wish you the best in this new phase.
Glad to see you back grinding. Hope COVID wasn't too brutal on you.
I rented a place to operate pit of for work and to do some music for fun during covid. Had to let it go eventually because I couldn't afford it anymore. Sucks that I haven't been as creative but I'm glad you posted this I could bounce off of the vibes so thanks man
Missed you! Another banger of a video! Great job!
Thanks! Super inspirational stuff. I really appreciate the time management stuff you're highlighting in your talks. Appreciate you, Bunn. Keep going!
Stoked! Thanks Kyle! Yeah, the path isn't a straight line and it's different for everyone, but it seems like the path is something that all the books and "experts" never talk about. So, I'm stoked that the experiences here translate into ideas that others can consider in their own endeavours. Are you currently working on a project or getting set to launch one?
I’m loving the vibe of the new studio! The old studio had a really unique vibe to it as well (and if I’m being honest apart of what made me wanna wanna your channel, I know shallow but whatever) but this place just seems more “RUclips-y”. A lot of creators start to get this big colorful spaces as the grow and this feels like the space now, especially that last shot where you were sitting on that couch OMFG, it was awesome!
I’ve said it before but I really do look forward to this video series every month, it’s inspiring and insightful to see what an average person goes through when they’re making music and trying to forge their own path in the music industry!
I can’t thank you enough for what you’re doing and can’t wait to see more, cheers!
Really loving this series.
Your channel is very interesting. I’m starting a musical endeavor where I have absolutely zero internet presence. No streaming,Facebook, RUclips, emails, website, NOTHING. I’m going Ultra low key pre-internet probably just cassette tapes, fliers, maybe a 1-800 number, old time fan club membership through USPS, and 3x5 post cards mailed out with info on up coming concerts and order forms. We’ll have t shirts and eventually CDs and VHS tapes, cassettes at shows. I need to figure out how to prohibit the use of cell phones because I don’t want any video to be leaked no Bootlegs here. If people want to take photos it’ll have to be with a camera that uses actual film that has to be processed. Im 100% serious and this is the only way I will move forward with this. Good luck with your business model and music.
I have already bought everything you have on bandcamp, but would love to gift a bundle of your work to others.
That's a great idea, pronstorestiffi! On my site I can offer digital "gift cards", while on Bandcamp there is an option to "Gend as Gift" to others, which is right below the "Buy Album" section. Do you think the "gift card" option is worth trying?
@@thebunn if anything it's always nice having options. But I guess it depends on how much extra work that would be from your end.
All the best for you!
You're a Toronto underground legend
How to/marketing vids for your libraries would be a good move. Get those selling.
Hang in there, don't wish for an easy life wish for the strength to endure a difficult one.
I need to get myself back on a more rigid schedule like you describe. Starting to get busy with other stuff...but no excuses.
"Bunndles" way cool idea. Hang in there brother! Been an off year for a lot of us. We shall overcome!
Hahaaa! Yes Sir! Hope all is well with you!
Watching your process evolve has been tremendously helpful, thank you. Executive distinction has been a problem for me since... As far back as I remember...
Your videos have provided some really good strategies for working with/around the issue, so it's very appreciated.
Glad you're feeling better, btw. COVID is no fun... Took a long time to feel 100% again. The brain fog is pretty severe.
lots of great ideas here. I've been journaling every morning and that's helped keep me motivated and grounded. I combined my journal with a task management program with a routine that lets me hit all the different areas I need to but still matches the flexibility my life kinda demands.
Tough times ahead but singers & players will be there .
A lot of folks do livestreams with tips on RUclips. It builds a community where like minded gen x baritone one man band guys (like myself) can get together. Pete Thorn and RJ Ronquillio have very regular times. Emily the Harpist has a lot of fun with hers as well.
Yeah totally! I used to do one and the part I miss most was hanging out with everyone. I think that going into the fall / winter, I'm gonna bring it back. A little different than the past, but for sure gonna try it.
SPACE: 2010, had a 750 sqft space in ATL I used as a studio. That proved to be too much of a burden, so I downsized. I have worked from home, since that time. For awhile, I had a live-work space I shared with my (now) wife... but the rent increases.... In 2016 I moved north, and now inhabit part of a large house in New Hampshire. We have basically taken over the entire basement and have converted it into usable studio-office space.
WORK: working alone SUCKS. Actually, the part that is hardest is CREATING COMMUNITY AROUND THE WORK. Like you, I have difficulty with task switching. I like to bury myself. But this is a detriment to building community -- which you seem to have mastered. Congrats! Live performance does not seem to be part of your business plan. Is that true, and if so - why? Also... are you solo or partnered? Curious how that helps/hinders you. Great to see you still kicking. YOUR PAINTINGS ARE AMAZING. (I'm working on AI comics, ATM). Cheers!
Dude your editing is god-tier.
You’re as real as it gets Scott! Your example of structure and space really struck a chord with me, and how I should better manage my free time. Keep having fun dude, and I look forward to seeing you around soon! Stay Rad!
I’ve loved your videos and your music for quite some time. I think most of us here will follow you wherever you go. Love the structure you set up to your day.
Your journey is admirable
good luck man. i was never even able to get one room. i wrote an album but it's stuck on an old 4 trac and i have no time or resources or enough peace in my life to express myself. if i did right now( express myself musically ) it would be war death kill metal. not really my style but this is where we are.
all the best !
respect the hustle, keep it up!
As a someone who was known for one music style as an artist and hitting 50 myself tomorrow 13.09 and currently starting a completely new genre and project I absolutely love follwing your journey and find the video's an awesome way of getting me to think differently about what I am doing as well as inspiring. Glad you are feeling better and back at it
your house is amazing. looks as big as a castle. great place for a studio
Thanks! It's the doings of my partner. I am but a thankful Hobbit.
All the best for you Scott 😉
Pulling for you Bunn. I want you to do well.
