Inheritance and Adaptation
It’s difficult for me—as I imagine it would be difficult for any lover of music—to come up with a set playlist of perfect tunes to outline a soundtrack to my life. After all, we are so connected to the music that defines our human experience that choosing some of it to showcase as “important” invariably omits so much more that may be equally important. Of course, being a composer and sound engineer, I see the value in buckling down and making those cuts. Having a wide range of musical taste, I could give you the jazz version, classical version, punk version, music box arrangements of video game music version (not even kidding) of my life; I could give you countless combinations of the above and more. What’s more, it could refer to an aspect of my personality, a time in my life, or an overarching biographical soundtrack. I’m going to go with the full-on biography, which means it will be harder to choose the songs to represent the journey, but let’s see how it plays out!

My playlist for Life
The first person artist musician and the creator of a new sound of the future and new mindset for me or meeting my mindset since I was very young will be Richard David James together with the discovery of his sound that was the most or the best thing that could happen to me in life so even though I dont tend to listen to his tunes that much often anymore I can not start this list without mentioning of Him. It was like finding your lost twin in the crowd of nobody who does carry similar mind to dive in for a while.

Time travel Soundtrack
"We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't." -Unknown.

The Meaning of My life (A Playlist)
Foreword Music is a hugely important part of my life and my identity, and its limitless forms have shaped paths, guided steps, soothed hurts and inspired dreams throughout my "journey," so to speak. Music, in my mind, is the elusive ranger-king of the arts, and I respect and feel it deeply. Finally, my particular "taste," in music, if I can be said to have such a thing, has been met with laughs, cringes, shaking heads and covered ears most times that I've attempted to share it in the past. Thus, the idea that I am now committing such an attempt within the eternity and everywhereness that is the public Internet gives me great anxiety, but a sense of nauseating, near-life-threatening fun. So, if at any point upon this page, you feel that I have taken this assignment too seriously, that's because I have taken this assignment too seriously.

An Audio Story
I wonder about the power of music, and I worried about writing this story. And is it a story? Am I giving you a real narrative? I have had a very hard time with this particular piece, and I had to write down all of my material in freehand before I could even think about typing this out. And I needed a particular set of rules:

As I Phyxate
1997 Lets start things off on how my music repertoire began. The very first exposure I had to live music was a Bob Dylan concert when I was less than a year old. Although this doesnt seem possible for a baby to recall, it's been proven that infants brains absorb music and sounds from a young age that stay with them throughout not only childhood, but adulthood as well, and form a basic foundation. While Bob Dylan is usually an aquired taste, his stylization has always held a special place in my heart. The folk singing methods and simple melodies filled with harmonics feels like the home I grew up in. Appropriately this song in particular "The Times They Are A-Changin'", fit right into my beginnings of coming into this world, a changing, new world for myself and a changing one for my newly made parents.
