• Inspiration strikes when we least expect it.

    Turning what we think of inconveniences into unique opportunities. This was the case for me recently. One night I found myself wide awake, gripped by a spell of insomnia.

    Instead of getting frustrated, I went to the studio and produced what would later become known as “Eterno Despertar,” or “Eternal Awakening,” an atmospheric, dreamy hip-hop instrumental now available for purchase.

    Created during quiet hours of the night, “Eterno Despertar” is a beautiful interplay of emotions and sounds. It resonates with feelings of hope, sadness, regret, and weaves them into a tapestry of dramatic, atmospheric melodies.

    While producing this track, I found myself drawn to the classic boom-bap style of hip-hop beats that I had been working with recently. As the night deepened, a desire for innovation surfaced. I decided to experiment by adding modern electronic elements that found their way into the composition, lending a fresh, contemporary touch to the vintage charm of boom-bap.

    The result was a distinctive blend of styles that sets “Eterno Despertar” apart. The electronic sounds punctuate the classic hip-hop rhythm, creating a soundscape that feels both familiar and innovative at once.

    More than just a product of insomnia, “Eterno Despertar” is a tribute to the beauty that can be created when we channel our experiences into our art. The sleepless night was the catalyst that sparked this song’s creation, infusing it with a touch that captivates listeners with its emotional depth.

    “Eterno Despertar” is more than just music – it’s an experience, a journey that invites listeners to explore a diverse landscape of emotions, while basking in its atmospheric sounds. Now available for purchase, “Eterno Despertar” is an invitation to explore the magic that can be born from the quietest, most unexpected hours of the night.

    Whether you’re a long-time fan of hip-hop or a curious listener looking for something new, “Eterno Despertar” offers a unique journey into a world where tradition meets innovation, and emotion echoes through every beat. I invite you to join me on this journey and experience the magic of “Eternal Awakening” for yourself.

  • I hope you’re doing well and keeping yourself inspired.

    I’d like to share with you a new instrumental boom bap beat I’ve worked on Sunday night. This one was a pleasure to work with and a cathartic experience to say the least at the time of production. It’s tiled “Paz” which translates to Peace from Spanish.

    That’s a feeling I’ve been trying to chase and emulate both a musical and personal level.

    I’ve been absent from writing and devoting my time to music whenever possible. It’s time to share with you some of my progress. After several life transitions, since the second half of 2021, I realized that I was writing less and less. I stop taking care of my journaling and consequently, this blog.

    However, I’ve been practicing and producing at a faster rate and releasing songs often through my Official YouTube Artist Channel.

    I tried a different route as far as my music distribution goes. I started to release about 40+ songs since October 2021 on YouTube. While at it I released an unannounced LP titled “Sin Miedo” (without fear) as an official release through Spotify, Apple Music and beyond.

    On December 2021, I got the opportunity to collaborate with an author to compose an original piece for a book commercial/trailer, titled “From Tijuana with Love” by Luis Jimenez. I felt in love with the project since it is a novel based on my hometown, Tijuana Mexico, where I was born and raised.

    I’ll write more about the experience in a future post.

    If you get the chance to listen to the instrumental piece above. I’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or comments.

    As always, thank you for your support.

    Stay Inspired.

    -Mondai-nai!

  • I was having an emotional experience while creating this song. I almost wanted to cry out of joy of doing what I love and getting lost in the sounds. When I’m in this state of flow, I forget to eat or to take breaks. I forget everything and I let myself get carried by the music and the moment itself. I really don’t know what it was, I just felt connected to something greater than myself last night.

    It was beautiful.

    I felt that a voice within me told me, “eres fuerte” (you’re strong), and not in the sense of physical strength. Rather, that my spiritual growth is stronger, making me more resilient when I feel that I’m stepping into darkness.

    I hope that this instrumental piece makes you feel calm, and that it reminds you that you got this. You are getting stronger.

    On Fuerza,

    Ernesto

  • Today I worked on an instrumental song that I’ve produced from scratch live on Twitch and Facebook. While the stream itself wasn’t optimized-it looked low-res and blurry- I had an amazing experience doing it. I took me about two hours and a half to have the finished product that you’ll see below.

    “Mi Otro Yo” or my other self in English is a song that to me, teleports the listener to a place where you meet your other self, either good or bad and have a conversation with them. It has a dark, somber atmosphere but also a feeling of hope, nonetheless.

    I hope that this song makes you feel something special.

    On Creativity,

    Ernesto
