Music and Me by https://padlet.com/parkerwtj/mnidz218t1uv First Padlet Exploration for Music Appreciation en-us 2017-09-05 19:27:44 UTC 2017-09-05 19:49:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Music and Me parkerwtj https://padlet.com/parkerwtj/mnidz218t1uv/wish/184913507 Music is a complicated topic for me with a lot of baggage. For many years I played music myself, mostly Piano and Trombone, and now I listen to music almost every moment I'm awake whether on my phone or computer. It has, to a large degree, defined who I am and I feel as though what I listen to reflects my personality. I seek out music constantly, but also have some regrets about not trying to pursue music further after high school. My tastes have (naturally) changed drastically throughout the years, and I kept an extensive backlog of all the music I've listened to and enjoyed so I can always go back to reminisce about past times. Currently I enjoy lo-fi hip hop and downtempo, but I like to think I'm pretty open minded about most genres; pop and country generally don't do anything for me, however. I have a Spotify playlist set up with about 1500 songs and 100 hours of music that I slowly add to as I go along and find more music.

“It’s sort of montage, what I do,” he explains, “it’s taking bits of sound and re-contextualising it and putting things together from two different places and seeing how they fit together. So you end up with this patchwork of stuff that I’ve recorded.” Green,
