March - August 2026 Ambience
I have been busy with Musical endeavors as of late. Just not writing about them. Primarily I have been digitizing my massive collection of CDs (around ~5K) and this has led to lots of thoughts/nostalgia. I plan to write about this soon but I want to call out that the past version of myself had good musical tastes lol. The other primary area is on the listening side, collecting and repairing vintage receivers/amps. Most of these have been catch and release. But I have kept a Sansui G-4500 for myself. Again, I plan to write about this. Finally, after much time, I finally have a techno beat I like and will be developing.
One nice thing about amp repair/digitizing, is that it has granted me a lot of time to listen to music. As you can see below...
