Aphex twin. Imogen heap. Tame impala. artists who’ve created their own instruments to produce. Getting to live as the same time as these creators feels like a blessing in disguise to spark that creative drive in one. Isn’t so cool that people actually create their own tools to produce the kind of sounds that they want others to hear and experience?

your idea of what that would sound like is an act of musical creation and that’s really cool

Making music is lowkey thereaputic asf. To anyone reading this I suggest heavily to understand how to make music, whether its a real instrument or on a website like bandlab or an app like FL studio, when u can get ur creativity into sounds that actually envision the vibe you fw, its so ethereal.

Out of all the proverbial dicks to suck in your music career, none is more virulent and diseased than that of your ostensible “peers.” Wisdom says to be a good writer you must read, but to be a good artist or musician I think this advice is actually toxic and creativity destroying. Words written are like an instrument to be mastered, a writer more an instrumentalist than a composer. To be a composer is to arrange and order those instruments into harmonious totality. To be a producer is to create. Spotify is a poisonous psyop for producers that teaches sonic compliance and algorithmic servitude designed to place an artist’s work “in conversation with” every other artist and flatten creative expression into that which can be easily understood and categorized.
We are contemporaneously trapped in a nostalgic death spiral for producers that is driven by a desperate quest for influence and the merciless unyielding boot of software companies upon your neck hawking VST licensing so that you can sound like every other band. For what? So that nerds can argue where your sound sits in the tautology of electronic music production? When’s the last time an abletonpilled serum enjoyer wrote a catchy song that was not simply an incremental deviation from the last one?
Your unique voice will die a painful and uncelebrated death in the trenches of influence, which is why I recommend steering as clear of it entirely. If you are a good producer you only listen to your own music, because that’s the music you want to hear.

Just saw a girl from my lecture get dropped off by her mom and it made me so emotional. She waited in the same spot till her daughter walked completely away and watched the entire time. Such a raw feeling it is to think about your parent tending to you like a kid even as an adult. It was so beautiful, shoutout moms

That feeling when you reconnect with someone from your past and they come back funnier. honestly such a warm thing to appreciate.

I know I’ve already shared that I witnessed the cutest moment in public but it’s happened again. Grabbed ice cream with friends after the beach where I saw this elderly couple enjoying ice cream cookie sandwiches together. They were playing with their cookies while laughing and smiling so much. They were having the best time ever and you could definitely tell they’ve enjoyed growing together. Witnessing that gave me a reality check to my fear of aging, and made me see how getting older can be such a beautiful thing that we take for granted, especially when you get to grow with someone you love. It was the most sweetest moment to end the perfect day.
