- Description: “Stone Updates” is my ongoing, unfiltered journal as I learn electronic music from absolute scratch. Expect messy experiments, rookie mistakes, tiny wins, and lots of self-deprecating humor as I figure out Ableton one chaotic button press at a time.

## **Update:**

Just wrapped up another release and pushed it to distribution services a few moments ago. I spent some time in an Arizona airport tightening up EQ and trying to make the mix feel more polished.

How polished can it be as a beginner? About as sharp as a dull rock. But I am trying. Learning. Applying lessons from tutorials and plenty of fumbling inside Ableton.

The new track is called **Stuck In My Head** and it is officially out in the world. It feels like a fun dance record to me. Some Tech House elements. A few builds. A few drops. Nothing groundbreaking, but something I am proud to have finished and released.

Most importantly, it is another rep. Another at bat. Another step forward. I am pleased with this one and even more **motivated to keep getting better.**

## That is really all I know how to do. Keep creating. Keep learning. Keep going.
