It’s October,
It’s midterms
It’s time to write…
I can’t believe that we’re at this point of the year already - everything seems to be going so quickly - it feels - it feels rushed - it’s most definitely time to slow it down and take a breath.
If you’ve got a couple of papers ahead of you then this is a great track to get you in the mood. It’s calm, soothing, it’ll help you sit back and take stock - stick it on repeat and you’ll have time to get your things together - open documents, get books ready, maybe even write your outline.
There’s no rush here - no nagging panic - just a warm oasis that’ll set you up for success. Once you’re ready, take it off repeat and listen to how it segues into the Charles Szczepanek track - now you’ve got energy and impetus - now it’s time to start.
Here’s what Andy had to say when he submitted the track:
“This Time is a song that reflects on the opportunity at hand while weighing prior opportunities. As for essay writing music, it fits perfectly with the idea of reflection, communication and seizing the moment.”

About the Curator: Andrew McCluskey
The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the dark forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top. They would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.
Although I've always played, I haven't always been a musician. Most of my twenties were spent working with people, buying and selling and learning how the world works. It was in my thirties that I came to America and focused on music and began to develop music2work2.

But as I’ve moved from ideation to manifestation, the energy of the playlist needed to change – solo piano is good for thinking – but 8 minutes of 130 bpm edm is great for getting things down

So if you’ve been listening to the playlist recently you know what’s coming. Last week’s track was all about setting the intent for change – away from the more relaxing ideation space of solo instrumentation to this week’s electronic track from Cristoph, Yotto and Sansa.

I’ve known for a while that the feel of the list was going to change – while piano instrumentals are perfect for reflection and ideation – at some point you need some energetic input to get your fingers moving.
