Oh my god this is so gorgeous.
Promo for my new videos!
An update
Hey everyone, I haven’t updated my blog in about two weeks, so I thought I would share what I’ve been up to.
I’ve mostly been working on music recently, so I’ll post some rough recordings of new songs soon. I’ll also post some of the poems I’ve written and some of the dreams I’ve had.
And I filmed my first music video yesterday. It was for my joke song “I Fuck Bitches.” I think it will be a funny video.
Also I now have a manager for my music, (though I we still need to work out the contract and what not), and I’m pretty excited about that.
Anyway, I’ll post more stuff soon.
This has been my favorite song for the past couple months. Lil B is just hella good. Plus he’s from Berkeley (which is where I’m from).
Here’s one of my new covers. This is of Kid Cudi’s Pursuit of Happiness.
I realized I haven’t posted very much of my music recently so here’s a song from my first album. It’s called “We’ll Find Our Way Back Home.”
Hope you guys like it!
I’m Haunted by You by Rhys Conger
I wrote this song for my girlfriend during the break between first and second semester of this school year.
If you like it you should check out my music page. You can download all of it for free.
Prize stuff and some thoughts
Also, I tied for first in music for my song “Fiction, Lover.” You can listen to all the submissions here. And I was nominated for poetry but I didn’t win anything. That poem is here. I got about a hundred dollars in prize money. I don’t know what I’m going to do with all of it exactly. I know I’ll buy cigarettes and maybe some alcohol but other than that I don’t know.
Having all this stuff published is really nice but I also feel pretty exposed. On the internet I feel more comfortable posting things because for the most part I’m anonymous. Even if people know my name I’m still just a stranger. But it feels strange to have my friends, who I’ve been going to school with for 9 months and who pretty much did not know that I made art, suddenly see a bunch of my work. I’ve never had my art graded up against others before, I’ve only posted it or shown it to my friends. So it’s really nice but it’s also a mixture of my internal and my social life, so I feel bit odd. It’s a weird feeling to have your art graded too. It’s a very personal thing. It feels almost like people are grading the quality of your thoughts and feelings. I’m not really used to that.
My music
Sometimes I feel like music is mostly about image. It’s how you market yourself. I want to make music that you listen to alone. I don’t feel like that has much of a place anymore. Or maybe it does and my music doesn’t really accomplish what I want it to.
I played at an event at my school about an hour ago. Nobody really cared except for my girlfriend and our friends. The rest of the room was pretty indifferent. But I guess my music is just not very good for big groups.
I just feel like if I had more instruments, if it wasn’t minimalist, people would like it more. But I’m not really sure I would.
