Dawn of Apples

An iPad on a stand playing the movie Look Back, with two cups of boba tea on either side of it.

rewatched Look Back for the first time since seeing it in theaters. “why do you draw, fujino?” remains one of THE all-time lines ever.

please, make your art. draw. write. compose. don’t worry about being “good”. just start. you might just change yours and someone else’s life.

it really pains me to have to miss out on events like the Snowblind Remix Contest and All Nighter Vol. 10, but unfortunately i'm just not at a stage in my life where i can justify setting time aside for personal creative endeavors.

you may have noticed i haven't been as active this year, and this is why. the main reason i'm even "announcing" the hiatus is just to kinda get it off my mind and let people know i won't be releasing anything for a bit.

hey all. the Dawn of Apples project is officially going on hiatus for a bit. i won't go into too much detail, but the gist is i just graduated college and need some time to sort out my life.

i'll still be around, don't worry, i'm just taking a break from music for a while.

a hater the size of which has never before been seen

A rainbow gradient with swirl paint sits behind a character who has thick Palestine flag shaded eyebrows, long hair, is smiling, and is wearing a traditional keffiyeh scarf.

Tracklist is WHERE ARE THEY NOW by Alaska Sargent, heartfault by keyesgen, ipso by Kyotsugon, Blue Raspberry by Dawn of Apples, ulcerative colitis by LEVenhuk, verecundicide by keyesgen and SAYONARA by ferretdot. The bottom text reads SOUNDCOLLAGE, a charity compilation. Distributed with assistance from the entity formerly known as Cosmic Dysphoria. All proceeds to the PCRF. 2025.

Chibi art of Ralsei, Susie and Kris from Deltarune. Kris is in the front and centre, holding their shield behind them. The SOUL is hovering above their pointed finger. Ralsei is on our left, smiling with his palms outstretched, and Susie is on our right grinning and brandishing her Axe. Their names are written beneath them. The whole picture is adorned with sparkles.

what it mean if the pot spinnin

the quality i want to attain most in life is wisdom. wisdom requires life experience and tons of mistakes… i’m fairly risk averse and terrified of mistakes. but i think that’s why it’s aspirational for me—we don’t become wise by doing nothing. doing something, anything at all, is required.

baby bowser from yoshi's island, crossing his arms angrily

A large abstract spiral made of identical sharp shapes, an imposing red, orange, and blue. A section of it is shattered, revealing a smaller duplicate with the same pattern, but a palette of blues and purples. six white x's are marked across the shattering, drawn with sharpie instead of digitized, and three refresh symbols are hidden under them in black

thanks as well to Desx and Zef for choosing it as the runner-up in the remix contest, and Desx especially for giving it a more polished mixdown

i'd also like to give an anti-thanks to my leasing company for preventing me from accessing my pc for two weeks when submissions were due. long story.

this remix was a journey for me; 45+ hours on my end alone, and it almost didn't even get finished. i'm extremely grateful to Hexsyre for seeing something in the wip i posted and helping to carry it over the finish line

AAAAAA I'M SO EXCITED

i'm beyond thrilled to finally share me and Hexsyre's remix of "Magic Mirror" by @desx.lol and @zefparisoto.bsky.social, which is being officially released on @neoluminum.xyz next Friday!!!

Why Personalization Matters

Ever feel like the internet is just...so uniform now? I miss the weird, wild spaces. Wrote a thing about how some tools can help us reclaim that right now.

#blog #internet #customization

it is done (except for the part where i have to like make promotional materials for it)
