I have had the pleasure of being able to have an ongoing game of artistic telephone with a fantastic musician. DrMick is an LMFT with a thriving online community focused around using games as a medium to talk about mental health topics on Twitch. I happened to be raided into him by another educationally focused creator ProfessorClare on a night he played guitar. I've never looked back since. And it all started with a track that became my accidental namesake.
I painted a fall scene to capture how this track felt to me. It reminded me of being in Illinois during fall as a little kid. Crisp air and winding paths to meander around in the park near by. Felt like a forest back then and incredibly vibrant while the leaves changed. Somehow painted it from imagination despite my aphantasia.
DrMick replied to that by composing this live with us in a stream. He had asked about some of my own preferences, such as my enjoyment of percussion and etc. I for the most part just watched his brain work at it. I also opted to have him come up with a title. Something about doing that felt important. In the end it was all so fitting.
