Happy Holidays everyone! Wanted to share a strategy I’ve been practicing. I found a YouTube playlist of media scenes with no music. I’ve been putting my songs to them to make sure there’s nothing distracting in my music that could take away from the dialogue of the characters. This way it could provide a better option for the editor when they are putting music to picture. Hope this helps!

It’s a new year—2026 is here. And the real question isn’t what year it is…it’s what are you going to do with it? If you’re a composer, sound designer, songwriter, vocalist , engineer or just lover of music, this is your space. Let’s come together as a creative community and be intentional. What is ONE goal you’re committing to this year? Finish an EP? Land your first sync? Build consistency? Collaborate more? Finally release the music you’ve been sitting on? Say it out loud. Write it here. Accountability starts with declaration. As cliché as it sounds—teamwork really does make the dream work. But only if we show up for each other. Drop your goal in the comments, support someone else, and let’s make 2026 a year we can actually point to and say: “I grew.” I created. I followed through.” Lets Build, Kevin

Wishing everyone in the PTN community a happy, productive, and prosperous New Year. Appreciate each of you for being here in whatever way you show up. Here is to growth, momentum, and building something meaningful in the year ahead. Wishing you and yours health, peace, and success. Gil

What are y’all working on this week? Or is everyone taking it easy and relaxing all week? I personally will be doing a bit of both. More downtime than usual but will be working on a comedy/dramedy album this week
