- 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.

## My Side Quest in Music, Creativity, and Permission to Be a Rookie Again

## **Update:**

I recorded a YouTube video walking through the behind the scenes DAW work inside Ableton Live for my newest track, **Open Up The Sky.** No polish. No pretending. Just the real session and the real thinking behind it.

I wanted to be visible about what I am doing and why I am doing it. This whole project is about learning in public, **showing the process**, and being honest about where I am at as a beginner. The wins, the confusion, the moments where things finally click, and the parts that still feel messy.

The video is not about teaching. **It is about documenting.** Capturing where my head is at while I am building tracks, making decisions, and figuring things out one session at a time.

## More reps. More transparency. More creating.
