There’s nothing too deep about this post, despite the alluring title… I’ll be moving my writings to Medium.com instead of this blog, as a place to cover a wider range of topics. Check it out! https://medium.com/@eugene.huo As for an artist landing page, I will be working on that, but for now my linktree is as […]
10.10.2024 13:27The Medium is the messageSometimes exposure can be deadly… Back in December of 2023 I decided to de-list my tracks from Spotify, in response to their decision to withhold royalties for tracks that did not meet their minimum threshold of 1000 plays within a 12 month period.

5.7.2024 21:19Ditching Spotify: 6 months laterIn December I embarked on an interesting journey, albeit not a physical one. It involved the transit of my music files from one distributor to another.

Franck Martin is an electronic music composer based in the Bay Area. Next I’ve been really enjoying this album from Hata-Ken, made up of live performance jams. I started listening to the Tape Notes podcast […]

10.12.2023 13:49Wei En Week End for 2023-W49This past week I spent a lot of time creating a playlist on Apple Music incorporating all of the artists who were mentioned or interviewed in the modular synthesizer book “Patch & Tweak” by Kim Björn and Chris Meyer. I’m maintaining this playlist as the artists release new work, and I’ve also interspersed the songs […]
3.12.2023 22:06Wei En Week End for 2023-W48I enjoy a good Concerto every once in a while, do you? This is the term for a solo instrument playing with an orchestra. I particularly like Piano Concertos and Violin Concertos, they are the most thrilling to me.
27.11.2023 16:11Wei En Week End for 2023-W47Music was never supposed to be my path, but looking at my childhood you wouldn’t know it. Piano at age 5. Church choir. TV appearance on Tiny Talent Time. High school band, stage band, concert band, pop rock band, choir, senior choral ensemble. French horn, flute, drumset, orchestral percussion, jazz piano. Composition, multitrack recording. Completed […]
