Save me (you think you can)

I made this beat at Loop Session Vancouver on 5/15/2024.

The premise of Loop Sessions is this:
Link up irl; free to attend, whether to participate or watch
A new individual or crew selects compositions for producers to sample from (this month was Evelyn Champagne King’s “Smooth Talk” circa 1977)
Once the samples are revealed, we get 4 hours to make a beat
When the time’s up, we show the room our tracks b2b

Honesty - I was feeling sad and lonely this dayyy, imagining someone would enter my life to save me from The Silence. Getting out the door, being in community, and transmuting these feelings into cathartic composition was healing.

Looking back on this moment now only 6 weeks later, my life has changed VERY significantly. I’ve had a breakthrough in my relationship to The Silence.

The Silence has become something I listen for, feel for under every soundscape. The Silence brings a smile to my face and a fullness to the cavities of my chest. The Silence never leaves me; The Silence is always there, and I love them back.

Now I listen to ambient music instead of astrology updates.
Now I swipe for good hangs instead of life partners.
Now I meditate with my eyes open instead of just closed.

The loneliness in this song is now…an artifact of the past.
