In the first two posts, I shared how I redefined Sound of Fractures as a creative studio and mapped the tasks required to bring this vision to life. The next challenge was to build an operational framework that could support these goals. This was about answering key questions: What roles and workflows would keep the studio running? How could I make this framework scalable as my projects grew? In this post, I’ll walk you through the process I used to structure Sound of Fractures as a functioni...

In the first part of this series, I took a step back to map out the intricate web of commitments, ideas, and aspirations that make up my career. I explored how tools like ChatGPT and Claude could help organise the chaos, turning fragmented thoughts into structured documents. While these early steps provided clarity and structure, they were just the beginning of a much larger journey: building a comprehensive framework that represents the full scope of my creative practice. In this next post, ...

At the start of the year, I kept hearing the same question from collaborators, industry peers, and even myself: "What do you need?" It was a deceptively simple question that carried significant weight and made me reflect deeply on my direction. It’s a simple question, but I didn’t have a good enough answer. We as artists often laud broad concepts as what we need: a manager, an agent, a dev, more money, but rarely a deeper explanation of actionable tasks. For me, I am weaving a web of complex ...

I wanted to start 2025 with some reflections on the last few years. This is because I started this journey with my first blog post, even before I released Real Friends. I sat down and, for the first time, wrote down my thoughts to try and process what this thing was I was feeling and wanting to create.Why Blockchain Still Matters to MeI can't talk about Sound of Fractures without talking a bit about why I experimented with the blockchain, or at least why it still feels like it matters to me. ...

There’s so much I want to say about this project, not just because I’ve worked so hard on it, but because it symbolises so much of what I care about and have been inspired by over the last few years.

“I think I want to share knowledge, by running experiments and recording the process. I want my music to have an emotional impact and resonate. I want to create art that is meaningful to people, and sound tracks their lives. And yes, I want to earn enough money to create on my own terms and build a financially stable life for me and my family.” I’m not sure I want to be an entertainer at any cost, and especially not at the cost of my artistic identity and what feels authentic to me. Maybe, in...

Pt.1: What im working onThis week my main focus has been putting the final touches to a project im really excited about and have been working on for a few months.. it was meant to be something quick, but before i knew it it grew and grew. The project is called ‘A Directory of Inspiration’. The inspiration came from a series of conversations; I noticed that while there’s no shortage of academic and journalistic articles, there’s not enough documentation of the work from the creators' perspecti...

I keep preaching about how sharing our process is a great way to connect, yet I still have that typical artist in me willing me to hold ideas back, to keep them close to my chest and this internal fear of people executing them before me.. which yes i know is never as much a thing as we think it is. In part I think it comes from the way the music industry often is; that people use ‘knowing’ or ‘knowledge’ not just as capital but to gain status by means of dismissing others by showing how ‘on i...

I’ve taken a couple of weeks off from pressuring myself to be constantly online, and to be honest, it felt really good. It was a much-needed reminder of how challenging it is to stay at the forefront of everything, juggling endless notifications and maintaining an always-on presence. This break gave me space to work on something exciting—a collaborative experiment with Jamie Cornelia. Together, we decided to create a one-of-a-kind physical piece which I shared about in my last post. Jamee is ...
