Episode 029: Too Real for the Algorithm – The Mind of a Middle-Aged Music Maker

In this bold and reflective episode of Why Make Music… (dot dot dot), host DJ Warm Cookies aka Willa May dives deep into the real-life, real-time journey of middle-aged music creator ThinkTimm—that’s T-H-I-N-K-T-I-M-M.

This monologue is a soul-powered manifesto about building creative legacy in the age of algorithms, navigating music as therapy, resisting digital burnout, and embracing the sacred process of sound, rhythm, and resilience.

We talk confidence curves, late-night uploads, invisible audiences, the metaphysical origins of music, and what it means to leave behind more than just memories—you leave proof.

From cassette tapes to CapCut, from soul loops to sync dreams, ThinkTimm proves you don’t need fame to be fire, and you don’t need a label to be legendary. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to share your music, this episode was made for you.
