I consider myself to be a god at Minesweeper, but despite this I have never been able to beat the "Expert" difficulty no matter how many times I try. However back in 2017 I got really close. I spent over 45 minutes peering over the screen using mental calculations and deductive reasoning to sweep for mines with surgical precision and patience. But when I got down to four squares, it came down to nothing but chance. It was a 50/50 shot. I was literally one click away from deducing what I once thought was impossible but my fate was out of my hands. I clicked... it was a bomb. I never got that close to beating "Expert" difficulty Minesweeper again. My endless consistent hard work and focus lead to nothing but the whims of pure chance and crushing failure. Anywho, I have spent the following years channeling those emotional highs and lows of that Minesweeper game into lo-fi electronic music while in college. My first album so far, Electrical Engineering, my magnum opus by definition, is a collection of my favorite songs I made while procrastinating studying electrical engineering. The album is made from the finest synths, softwares, and samples I could get my hands on (whatever was free) and released after graduation to the incredible career peak of 10 monthly listeners on Spotify. If anything ever resonates with me emotionally again, I may release another album at some point in the future. If not, then maybe an EP called Atlantis or Retrocolor or something like that.
