Harmonic Horizons Episode 9 - Martin Stürtzer! I was fortunate enough to sit down with my good friend and legendary producer Martin Stürtzer and talk about his story, his love for hardware synthesizers, his own personal approach to music making, and the future of software and synthesis. 

Looking back at all of my previous videos, it's really humbling to see how many of them have over 10,000 views! All I can say is THANK YOU to each and every one of you for subscribing to this channel and believing in me and this mission that I started way back in 2021. 

Two weeks from now marks the three year anniversary of the S1gns Of L1fe channel and I never would have imagined we'd have come so far in this amount of time. I still feel like we're just getting warmed up and I've got BIG PLANS for new content in 2024 and beyond. Stay tuned guys...the best is yet to come! 

Use Pro Tools? The powerful sequencer "Riffer 3" from Audiomodern is now included in the latest update!

Riffer 3 is an intuitive MIDI sequencer plugin included with all paid versions of Pro Tools (Artist, Studio, and Ultimate) that generates musical riffs and sequences—a Swiss army knife for MIDI that is endlessly variable and endlessly interesting.

Monday Motivation! Don't quit your daydream they said... Well that's exactly what I did - but it wasn't until I committed myself fully to the process of really understanding what my dream was and pushing forward that I was able to make the best of my situation and move forward! Here's what I learned after taking my "dream job" into a full time gig last year...

1) Time management is essential! There are only so many hours in the day to get what you need to done. When you think you don't have time, you probably do. Get it done. Don't stop until you've at least made significant progress on one project and then move on to another one. You can absolutely juggle multiple tasks as long as you're utilizing every minute that you have to reach your goals. 

2) Stay creative! There's nothing more satisfying than living a creative life. Even if you don't work in a creative field, and you have a creative hobby - lean into your strengths and keep on making cool stuff. When you think that it's not good enough to share with the world, chances are it probably is! The amount of people who have resonated with my content shocks me and all I have to do is just show up and the rest will work out on it's own. 

3) Don't give up! The last thing you want to do is give up what you've worked so hard to accomplish. You can accomplish your goals with persistence, patience, and the willingness to make the impossible real. I didn't say it was easy and in fact it's 100x harder than my old job was, but knowing that I'm out there doing what I love for a living has truly changed my life for the better. Don't let anything stand in your way!
