With electronic music constantly shifting, how do you stay focused on your own direction without getting pulled into what’s “current”?
It’s easy to get distracted in today’s landscape – a new trend or sound is always “hitting.” But my compass is internal. I constantly ask myself: “Is this honest?” I’ve trained myself to chase emotion over virality. I’m not here to ride a wave but to make one.
Awareness reflects that.
It’s not designed to be trendy, but to be timeless, like a mirror you keep returning to.
I stay focused by building systems of solitude. I spend much time in silence, meditating, journaling, and reflecting on the human condition. From that stillness, the music emerges. That’s why I use Komplete not as a trend-chasing engine, but as a soul amplifier. It’s like having a philosophical toolkit to score my inner universe.
Pro tip from The Alexsander: Start with a field recording and layer instruments from Komplete to score that natural ambience – it creates unique sonic stories.
