early winter

october has only just arrived, but you wouldn't know it from the deluge of christmas music that has manifested itself on my ipod playlists, early. this is part of an annual, more monumental course of change, during which i prepare myself mentally and physically for the idea of winter.

the season (which began, as it does every year, at first sight of a jacket) encompasses a broad spectrum of emotions for an individual like myself. in a hot climate, it carries a semblance of the weather i grew up with. commercially, it ensures the presence of pumpkin spice lattes, seasonal lights of varying quality, and of course, overwrought holiday jingles.

this year finds me recording my own versions of some of these jingles as a means of exercising my home production skills and growing creatively. it's too early to share them, but expect a wintery demo come november.

looking forward to the cold season!
