Hey fam. I am coming out the other side of a path of rough mental health. Here are a couple of blog posts about where Iโ€™m at now.

I know I havenโ€™t been around much. Just trying to figure out the proper way to live this life.

Hope you are all well. Digital hugs.

Part of me is rational. Another part of me browses inventory of cars that cost the same order of magnitude as my house. Maybe one day.

Analog hit triple digits today, just coming up on four weeks from its release. It isnโ€™t my most streamed song but it is the fastest one of my songs has hit this milestone. If you havenโ€™t had a dose of analog vibes in your life yet, check out my new song!

I have been off social media for a while now. (Except to pop onto now and again to say hi.) My motivation for using it was to tell people about my art. It never really amounted to much, and I have taken a step back from the digital world.

Today I made an โ€œanalogโ€ social media post. I went to a coffee shop, did a quick sketch of Amsterdam, wrote my website address on the back and left it on a table. Much more satisfying than anything Meta or Musk can offer. And I even got coffee!

I hit 20k words on my today! Rejoice! (Only 100k words to go, haha.) . ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“–

@MrGoat I hope you are having a lovely evening. I appreciate all your support. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ

Updated website! Lots of cool stuff to see. Let me know your thoughts! damienkanerigden.com

I am thinking about rewriting my whole website to be third person instead of first person. It is going to be a pain but maybe will make it a bit more professional. What do you think?

Really proud of my new song, Analog. Had a positive reception from musicians I respect. Curators on submithub listened to it multiple times before responding (vs like 20s with previous submissions). It hadnโ€™t blown up or anything, play-wise but one thing Iโ€™m really proud of is that it has been added to 13 playlists! That hasnโ€™t happened to any other song Iโ€™ve made. Something feels right about this track that I havenโ€™t felt with my other music.

Started a new music project to develop while I work on my current piece of writing. This has been a really fun story to write but it will probably take at least another 6 months to finish my first draft. Need to work on multiple things to stay sane and keep it fresh.
