Music production

Field Value
Status Active
Type Personal / creative

Description

Originals and live work; evolving toward a producer / entrepreneur framing alongside performing. Music is central stress relief — a deliberate counterweight to work intensity, not a side hobby on paper only.

Harmonica (learning, 2026): Serious daily / every-other-day practice — exercising new motor patterns and watching muscle memory improve slowly (patience as the metric). Harmonica is also breath training: deep, slow, controlled exhale work that maps to greater lung capacity over time, which feeds singing and general cardio (same “happy body” story as projects/happy-body, different modality). Singing the blues is therapeutic in its own right.

Harmonica — technique path

Phase Focus
Foundation 1st position — clean single notes, blow/draw rhythms and timing.
Next Draw bends; then 2nd position (cross harp) and 3rd position (slant harp).
Now Muscle memory and musicality mainly in 2nd and 3rd — still pushing cross (major and minor feels) and slant before piling on new systems.
Later 12th position and overblows (explicitly deferred until cross + slant feel solid).

Keys on hand (diatonic): Low F, G, A, B♭, C — the F slot is low tuning (longer reeds, heavier breath); practice rotates across keys for ear / embouchure variety and song keys in band context.

Possible (low urgency) output: a how-to / technique video series — market is crowded; only worth doing if it stays fun or clearly helps someone.

Key features

  • Complements band work under rusty-cage; broader “music + business” lane than trio gigs alone.
  • Wellness overlap: breath, patience, stress relief, vocal/cardio spillover — documented here so “music” isn’t siloed from the health stack.
