Focused around 1 thing: helping you live a better life, however you define it.

Optimizing Into Fragility

For years my underlying obsession was finding a way to optimize my life and break away from needing to hold down a normal job.

The brief clip of 2 guys speaking about music production (namely the utilization and oversimplification of bass) is a nice capture of one of life’s simplest but purest treasures – conversation. It may also be a commentary from Parker on his own music produced on the album. Regardless, as soon as the discussion ends
