Hello! It has been a while since my last episode. In this episode, I talk about my experience at an event that I went and participated in (with perhaps a touch of self deprecation). As a shy, anxiety ridden, and introverted producer, I went to a public event in Toronto (April 13)which was awesome and it was a great experience. The producers who par…

This was a quick ep about what I've been up to during the week. Note: I decided against posting the second part of this podcast (which had nothing to do with music). It was about a tragedy that had happened a few days ago at my alma mater (suicide). I went off the deep end (I speak off the cuff) talking about it because it's a tough subject and aft…

I briefly talk about my experience going to LoopSessions Toronto. Summary: I didn't participate but I did stay for a while and got immersed in the atmosphere and watched the other producers/artists work and it was great :D.

Hey Hey Hey! Side notes: 1) I wasn't crying while recording note: 2) medias doesn't make sense...pretty sure media is plural 3) There are a myriad of reasons for why I deal with instrumental music on a whole. I guess impressionability (or sensitivity) is a large reason for why I don't listen deeply to lyrical tracks. Mind you, I used to listen to k…

What type of guitarists calls the art of guitar playing guitaring? Me. But enough about that... Thanks for tuning in to this shorter episode. I just briefly talk about what I've been up to this week (and what I'm releasing). I was recording in my closet and I was trying to be quiet so there was probably less pep in my voice. Remember to keep puttin…

Greetings! I was not in the best mood this week. I've had a lot of things change on me which have made me feel down and anxious. Like seasons, moods change and evolve over time, and music has helped me get through most of it and will continue to do so. I briefly talk about what I've been up to this week and how I've been feeling. I make mention to …

Happy Thursday! This episode I talk a bit about my 3rd album called Subcity (inspired by my suburban town). Note: May contain swear words. https://open.spotify.com/album/2FcAkMxe2Gj8YFabfFk1D1 spotify https://him3emusic.bandcamp.com/album/subcity-2

Happy Day after VD for all my single soul survivors! I apologize for not posting yesterday I've been busy (skip to about 6 mins to get to the point of the episode). I think episode is very much one that could be applied to anything you do. My main premise was that the process of growth no matter what you do requires sucking, giving up, and starting…

Greetings, I talk a bit about what I've been up to this past week. Short version: I finished my album, it's gonna be released Feb 21 (officially). I talk about what I've been working on (including what I'm trying to do guitar wise).

Greetings, this was recorded as a technical pt 2 to the Jan 31 episode. I actually talked about this video I was sent (#FindingTweet) where Tweet talks about her come up in the music industry and what happened after Oops oh My. I then shallowly ramble about music in the 80s and kind of wonder if we are currently repeating the period of the 80s in b…

This is one of my shorter podcasts (joy) where I talk about how I came up with my artist name HIM3E. I promise you, it's not really profound or groundbreaking. Note: This is technically a 2 part podcast episode. I recorded a part where I discuss a video I watched about the artist named Tweet but decided not to post it as of yet (but stay tuned)…

Greetings! Today, I ramble about a video Vice did on Brampton Hip Hop Scene. https://video.vice.com/en_ca/video/scene-reports-brampton/5c129958be407759e32c53cb Also, check out Haviah's Flower City (I messed up the title in my podcast episode...) She's up and coming out of Btown. https://haviahmighty.ca/ I also semi come out as genrefluid (the word …

The title is pretty self explanatory. I decided to edit out (completely faze out) 8 extra minutes of rambling (felt like being in a truncated mood today) I talk a bit about my track (how I produced it and how I came up with the album cover. (check out bandcamp: https://him3emusic.bandcamp.com/track/valley-boi-and-he-was-like) Word of the day: effec…

Greetings, I start off by (re)shouting out CableGuys(the only cable guys I know that provide legit value *yes, I'm shading the big telecommunication companies in Southern ON*). I then ramble on about my little successes with my productions (for instance, I actually finished mixing/mastering some of my tracks). Note: I actually did edit parts of thi…

Happy post holidays and new year to all! This episode I just talk about why I haven't posted in the past 2 weeks. Basically, I was sick, either flu or pneumonia and I was knocked out for literally 2 weeks. Also, I was working through the sickness (like working 9-5 because I don't have sick days to take off). I didn't get to immerse myself in music …

I'm sorry my podcast episode was late. I usually post and record on Thursdays but I didn't have the ability this time because I had to work early. I talk about my experience going to the Ghost concert (prog is cool) at the Sony Centre.I contradict myself here and there, but in my defense, I was rambling.I talk about what I've been up to this week a…

Being the shallow and shy producer that I am, I ramble a bit about my newest obsession with Math Rock and I go on about what's been up for me this week.Top 8 Links and Points:1) blend.io --> remix songs2)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXGwVJCdV6A --> Shibuya (Covet)3)riff vs rift (my pronounciation)4)'a style of rock music characterized by complex…

Thank you for taking the time to read this. This episode I ramble(and talk some jibberish) about my Black Friday experience up here in the North and the plugins I splurged on. Throughout the podcast I actually (attempt to) demonstrate the plugins on my already finished/released works (I basically mangled my tracks but I hope you guys don't find it …

Shoutout to my American peeps out there (Happy Thanksgiving). I'm sorry I didn't post last week however I did explain the reason why in this episode. Also, Have fun on black Friday (be safe).

Greetings!This episode I talk about what my week has been like (what I've been working on musically, my present struggles) and I talk a bit about the top 200 on billboard (albums). Shout out to Sir Bocelli.Things to clear up:Andrea Bocelli Becomes First Classical Artist to Hit No. 1 on Billboard Artist 100 Chart (https://www.billboard.com/articles/…

I clearly love being outraged by the fact that 'Tracks Like This' are highly consumed. I actually went mad listening to the #1 charted song called 'Girls Like You' by Maroon 5 and Cardi B. Been in the #1 spot for 6 weeks. Although I give props to the people who came together to produce this track, it's no where near my tastes. I kind of went in on …

This episode I talk about what I've been up to in the past week (music wise) and then I actually try to give pop songs a chance. I went on the Billboard site and decided to listen and react to the #1 most streamed song this week called Zeze (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjaayCARwro) and try to compliment it the best I could. It wasn't too hard t…

"the old Kanye' and Gary Vee inspired this episode: Think of the track "Everything I Am' and think of the concept of 'Self Awareness'* Disclaimer: I get a bit quirky this episode* I ramble about what puts me in flow musically(aka what I enjoy about music composition and production). I veer off into some hysterical rambles and mini rants about pop c…

Tuesday night I was talking to my friend about trying to listen to mainstream music. Less than an hour later, I got exposed to the AMAs (American Music Awards) and was in pain watching and listening to the drivel. So this episode is just about me rambling about the AMAs and mainstream music.I was inspired by MIGOS' win for favourite pop/rock duo to…

Didn't have a game plan for this episode. Didn't have notes on things to talk about.Decided to give a bit of a run down to what my week has been like.I put out a track called Subscribehttps://soundcloud.com/him3emusic/subscribeI'm also experimenting with my tracks (as always).PS: http://www.imsta.org/2018_TO.php

Music snobs and non music snobs/mainstreamers alike have unanimously come together to hate Nickelback. But here's the thing, I don't hate Nickelback and I tried to defend them. However, rather than building a tower of Nickelback love, I decided to tear down everyone else.I make wild generalizations aboutmainstreamers and metalheads (I didn't go aft…

I talk about how one of my original tracks got copyright notice from YT because I apparently used a PD sample from Amelia Earhart the exact same way as another artist (whom I never heard of making trance music) and the label monetized my video (so I took it down). I'm a bit salty and shocked about it so I'm taking a break from the PD audio samples …

Hello, I wanted to mention that I recorded this episode on Sept 13th, 2018.I survived the grant writing process and submitted a day before its due(a huge feat for a procrastinator like myself).But I sacrificed time that I would normally spend on my music to do so. After about a week and a half of production cold turkey, I started part of the mixing…

I believe I said I would upload twice this week... and here it is! This was done in one take (with few edits) so I hope you enjoy it in all of its glory. I speak really slow and forgive the loudness of my keys :P Also, I've come out of the closet on this one.

This episode breaks down the making of my non 'radio friendly' downtempo/electronica track called Insecure (Validation).

This episode is about my thoughts and experiences(aka ramblings) with criticism and judgement in my life (within myself and what I've experienced with others). It's more focused towards self judgement and criticism, self projection, and some little things I'm doing to curb as it affects me as an artist.…

This is not an 'episode'. I decided to Make a quick recording (no editing) about how Lo-fi/lofi/ lo fi beats are now being recognized (by POND5 at least) what I had seen and heard about lofi and how you as an artist/producer should look at this as an example for why you should be authentic.https://blog.pond5.com/20709-lo-fi-in-high-demand-making-mu…

Check out the link: http://www.imsta.org/2018_TO.phpPS: I really hope you can attend because…

I feel like being called a music snob is like being called a hipster... It's an open secret. This is a longer form(but shallow) episode about being a music snob and how it impacts me as a music producer. Ps, lots of rambling)

Quick 10 min intro into what possessed me (HIM3e) into starting to podcast. I ramble about eccentricities, holding back, and what's to come
