I've been doing some music improvisation

I've been doing some live music improvisation with my band Lorenzo's Music on our Twitch channel.

We have been trying out different ideas on live streams to see what inspires us.

What if we Rumble fished? (YouTube Short clip)

This clip here is a YouTube Short from one of our sessions.

When we turned on the cameras for this live stream session I said I wanted to try and play something that sounds like it's the soundtrack for the 1980s movie "Rumble Fish" by Stewart Copeland and Stan Ridgway.

So that's what we tried to do. 🙂

Songwriting live as an experiment

The band has been looking for some musical inspiration and I thought what if we forced ourselves to try and think of things while people are watching. 

No prep, no thinking about what to play beforehand. All we do is turn on the camera and throw out an idea to try musically.

No overthinking what to do just first thought and go with it!

It's been kind of fun. And we really end up trying things we wouldn't normally do because we have to keep the music going since people are watching.

Creating a cover for my webcomic books

Creating my webcomic book cover for print on Amazon KDP I have all the pages set up for the book and ready to go and then at the end it's like "oh right I still need to create the cover for the book!" I don't know why but this part always makes me the most anxious. Maybe it's because it's the way the book is going to be represented? It's so weird, in my books I'm telling very personal things in my webcomics themselves but the cover is the thing that is making me anxious. I mean this is gonna be what I show when I say to people, hey I created this book you should check it out!  Maybe I'm being silly I don't know? ( Related post: Using Google Photos and Google Docs To Make My Webcomic Book ) Using other books as references for the cover What I did to kind of help me with this is I would reference these old comic strip books that I have. I like the styles of these books and I collect them. Collection of old comic strip paperback pocket books I h...
