Calm Down & Make Music

A quiet book for loud times. Thirteen short chapters and three personal interludes on the inner life of the working artist: how to handle silence, how to digest influence, how to care about money without being controlled by it, and how to protect the one thing that started it all - the love of making.

Inside the book

The chapters.
In order, with context.

A book for producers who've worked for years and still feel like they're starting over every session. The structural fixes, in plain language.

The finishing problem

Why producers with talent and gear still don't put music out - and the structural fixes.

Reference fatigue

Why your favorite tracks aren't actually the reference you think they are.

The plugin fallacy

Why "if I just had X plugin" is a trap - and the four that solve 90% of the work.
