Why, oh why is Vancouver so far away? Would have loved to be there 🖤

I was lucky enough to attend and it was so great to see your graphic design skills on display! Great story, great advice, and great vibes that morning. Looking forward to Part 2!

Thank you Grant! Also thank you for noticing the design, those slides were an undertaking! 😆 So glad you could come to the talk. It was such a nice morning, I hope I get the opportunity to present it again in another environment ☺️

What a great article! And wow the Yamaha CS2x! I still have mine. My first synth was an Ensoniq EPS sampler though (1989’ish).

Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed! Wow, you still have yours, that's so cool. Mine has been lost to time, but maybe I'll find one on the used market again one day ☺️

I struggle big time with just saying yes, especially around sharing my art or writing. I appreciate this reminder to take leaps bravely!

Welp, i finally made a Substack account, just for this. Really, really, REALLY intensely cool. Thank you for sharing this! It's immensely inspiring as i wrap up my daydreaming about finally getting serious with my own music and prepare for whatever the next phase might be.

see. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for Part 2.
