Logbook 001

Over the past ten days, I launched TenKforHim and finally returned to music after a two-month pause. Those two months were spent building the site, shaping the concept, and defining the philosophy behind this project. Now I’m back to making a hundred songs every few days — the pace this project demands — and the engines are warm again.

I also completed and submitted my university thesis, “The Purpose of 21st-Century Politics Through the Lens of LQQ.” It was written in one long burst of concentration — the kind of immersion that feels like a quiet tunnel, sharpened and absolute. This thesis now acts as the philosophical backbone of TenKforHim.

Talulah and Elon’s story felt like the most cinematic of all his relationships. While writing these tracks, I often felt as if I were scoring a film — each chapter unfolding in soft British colors. Some moments were so tender that I almost cried while composing; the emotion in their arc was that vivid. To capture that feeling, I leaned into an Adele-influenced, UK-style ballad texture.

Amber and Elon’s love felt dangerous. While making these songs, I kept returning to the image of someone brilliant and destructive at once — a presence both magnetic and unstable. That tension became the foundation of the album, expressed through a darker, Weeknd-inspired R&B palette.

Grimes is uniquely fascinating — someone who treats reality itself like a medium. While working on VEN6, I found myself leaning into that energy, pushing R&B to its experimental edge. I even wove fragments of her voice into the tracks, letting her become part of the orbit she inspired.

In the next ten days, I aim to finish VEN and begin EAR — the fourth macro-theme of the project. EAR contains music inspired by the continents and cultures of the world, and I’ve been waiting a long time to explore it. I’m excited to see what emerges.
