"How did your project go?" Clover asked me. "Better than I expected. I managed to pass on such short notice." "Sweet! I knew you could do something great. Are you going to play those songs live?" Tyson wondered. I just chuckled a bit. "Maybe. I need some more solo material. I just don't want my …

Hollandus Landing Chapter 484: Seiya Mizuno part XIX

I sent in my EP to my art teacher and they listened to all three tracks. I got silence for a few seconds. Then came the critique. "This was a bit of a bizarre listen." "Yeah, I didn't want it to sound like typical acoustic music." Seiya, why are you making excuses for your own …

Hollandus Landing Chapter 483: Seiya Mizuno part XVIII

I recorded in my room with nothing but my voice, my acoustic guitar, and some beats from my computer. All three tracks were complete. Whew! I was worried for a second, but I was able to come up with something. I needed a name though for this project. Sure, I'm going to release this EP …

However, I'm not going to make some coffeehouse folk-pop and call this project something like Mizuno & Sons or Seiya Sharpe & The Magnetic...I thonk you get …

Hollandus Landing Chapter 479: Seiya Mizuno part XIV

I took as many notes as I could from what I read as I came up with as many ideas for these songs. It was fun coming up with something. At least some teachers have encouraged me to be creative like Mrs. Reynosa of all people when she would tell me: "Chances have expiration dates. …

Hollandus Landing Chapter 478: Seiya Mizuno part XIII

"Narratives dictate who become heroes and villains." Say what, Sylvester? "Regardless of television, newspapers, and magazines, there is always a personal reality dictated to demonize or to extol whoever they want. People need to be aware of this double standard. Heaven forbid major companies buy out media companies like how people buy groceries." This was …
