Cucurbitophobia ⛧

I'm riding out the rest of 2025, taking it easy and resting up during a creative lull.
While I won't make empty promises, I'm making more concrete plans and setting more goals for music and content for 2026.
Thank you to all of you who have stuck around for all these years!

Being a musician takes years and years of study, practice, effort, and discipline. Yet I take pride in such discipline and would never be so lazy as to resort to AI to generate a single note of music for me.

Maybe one day, I’ll stop wasting my time writing, recording, and releasing music.

Then again, maybe I won’t stop and I’ll just keep cranking out more and more music even if I never gain another new fan. 😜

Never have I ever….

…owned a Depeche Mode t-shirt until now.

I find it amusing how some enormously successful musicians who have had opportunities very few have even dreamed of having end up complaining that they're not making enough money or that life on the road is so difficult.
So many people never realize how good they truly have it.

We've heard it all before:

"You've got to network."
"You've got to work harder."
"You've got to be aggressive."

Yet very few are quick to tell us:

"You've got to have working capital."
"You've got to hope that luck is on your side."
"You've got to know when to cut your losses and quit."

Today’s the last day!

Here’s mud in your eye!

Ozzy and Freddie casually reminding you how they rule the roost.

What is your Winter Solstice tradition?

Wicked: For Good was a solid follow-up to Wicked: Part One.
Although I liked Part One better, this did not disappoint me one bit.

A Liturgy For Yule *, by Cucurbitophobia from the album A Druid's Tale

Composed in 2019, "A Liturgy for Yule" is an eerie avant-garde, dark ambient piano track beckoning Winter's return.
This ritual-like piece offers a blunt portrayal of Winter's bleaker side as the nights grow longer and colder.

Name your price.

4 years ago, 12.3.21, we tied the knot and had our majestic Winter themed wedding.
The greatest and most fulfilling day ever it was, without a doubt.
Beyond what I can put into words, every experience we share is something I’ll forever honor, cherish, and be grateful for.
I love you, sweetheart.
🧡

Indeed. It’s not easy at times but I kick myself in the ass to keep going and stay on track. 👊

That said, I do my best to keep a flicker of a dream alive; a dream to have an underground yet passionate base of enthusiasts of my music without a record label telling me how to write, what DAW I should be using, or how I should tailor my image.
I’ll go as long as I can, I do know that.

It’s beyond annoying to see how algorithms only favor posts that are popular, favoring people who chase trends while completely burying or shadow banning those trying to promote their own creative art unless paid ads are involved.

I know I’m a niche musician. I’m never going to be a legend.

Thank you to each of you who have shown me support this weekend into Monday.

2025 has been a challenging year where I’ve really felt how changes on many social media platforms affected my reach.

It’s frustrating to no end when platforms flag your own content on your own page as “spam”.
