    I thought I should pin this as some people are missing it in the description and giving me props for the video footage. 😅 The imagery in the 2nd half is stock footage. I initially started editing my own b-roll from previous things and decided it'd be more inspiring to work with the more talented eyes of videographers around the world (and compensating them, of course).

      Great song and very interesting to see how the elements were put together. Just wondered if you get an enjoyable creative buzz out of the video editing/creation part too?

    Just so you know, although I appreciate the sentiment, I can honestly say that in any video of yours that I have watched I have not wished that you would just STFU. I also appreciate your humility and talent as I believe them both to be real and genuine. So, thank you in advance for your upcoming video of you "in concert" for our listening and viewing enjoyment. But remember, we appreciate and enjoy you talking as well. PS - Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas, a Blessed New Year and a Celebratory, Relaxing, and Peaceful Mood through the upcoming Holiday Season!

    • @GizzyDillespee
      @GizzyDillespee 5 месяцев назад +2

      My problem on his livestreams is that he forgets to finish phrases and sentences - he doesn't talk enough. "Okay, I'll just do... now over here there's a... never mind. Instead I'll... you know what? Let's not do that! If I can just get this to... ah... there it goes... So, that's one of my favorite tricks to get movement..." and of course his screen is too dense to figure out visually what he's doing. But if he got totally folsom about it and talked like a tortoise, I don't think that would be a good alternative. So, I usually just shrug my shoulders.

    • @GizzyDillespee
      @GizzyDillespee 5 месяцев назад +1

      I don't know why autocorrect changed fulsome into folsom. It just tried again, too. Is folsom even a word? I know it can be a name, when capitalized. I've had autocorrect replace a real properly spelled grammatically correct word with a make-believe word before.

    This is the ticket. As musicians with channels, regardless of what we make in a week, a weekly video of just musical tinkering is exactly what makes all of this worth it. ♥

    I've been listening to your music almost non-stop on Spotify lately (you have such a large and fantastic discography). I'm always so impressed... I wish I would've taken the plunge and done this, instead of MRI. Anyways, thank you so much for sharing, and please never stop. You do inspire me to maybe learn and do this someday. Music is the vernacular of the soul. You have a big fan in me.

    Fantastic track, I enjoyed the journey. It was cool to get a WIP peek at the different stages. When you brought out the handful of MIDI adapters...oh man, I know that struggle. It's so aggravating that there are multiple formats, and the "try a few until it works" thing can really derail a creative session. Thanks for sharing the creativity!

    The imagery in the 2nd half definitely sets the mood of the song. With eyes closed I can sense calm and peace. With the imagery, I feel a sense of foreboding as the audio weaves me through a sense of longing for my youth and the care free world of my parents protection.

    Hey Benn, not sure if I've posted on your videos before, but I'm a fellow producer, music lover, creator and downright evil scientist and I just wanted to reach out after watching most of your videos over the past couple of years and say that I really enjoy everything you do. We're fragile as human beings and it's not always easy being in the spotlight having so much creativity and so many opportunities to embrace. You've inspired me so much and I want to thank you for being part of my journey, even though you don't know me. This song was so cool and I really dug how you put this video together. I like this a lot and let's see some more musical adventures from you. Talk about the things that inspire you. Keep them coming brother 👊🏼🙌🏼💕👍🏼
