Also I only moved to Scotland for Uni, I wasn't trying to escape a regime. I didn't even give a fuck about politics in 2009. My hatred of the tories has just naturally accumulated, like tooth plaque, having been exposed to their actions over their reign of the last decade.

I'm still heavily left wing, I've just given up basically. The last 5 years have pretty much turned me full on misanthropic. Stocks have just replaced my propensity for poker.

Well, good luck to you with being a pussy and whatnot. I'm up around 700 percent. I'm also all in with my final 1500 dollars on PLTR at a cost basis of 10.50 though, I really can't be fucked with boomer 7 percent a year compound interest investing. I got into WSBets on reddit pretty hard this year, the mixture of memes and gambling is extremely appealing to me. I'm either going to continue being poor, or luck out and have every year be as insane as this one, because this year I turned 2k into 6.5k, and that includes having my 2k knocked down to 1.2k by the march crash.

At this point i have no idea why any internet people are not throwing a few percent of their savable income into this shit. i was sceptical from 2013 to 2016, i bought my first bitcoin in 2017, ive had ups and down, missed out on some gains, and made a fuck tonne of money since then. cashed out 0.05 at 40k for a couple of grand to cover my corona income loss this year, but you can be sure as fuck im gonna be putting back in as soon as my income is stable again.

in a sense though, the uk is absolutely full of class musicians. Ive always found the idea of flying someone 2 hours from berlin just to play bleepy bloopy techno music pretty stupid, so maybe this will be the dawn of a new era of local music for local people. mon' tubbs.

So, so far it seems to have been a pretty silly idea. I am at least enjoying the schadenfreude that everyone suffering brutally at the moment are segments of the population that voted overwhelmingly in favour of it, fisherman, hauliers, farmers etc. The goverment seem to be absolutely determined to fuck musicians on the side though with the insistence that they dont want to reciprocate visa free touring for musicians from either side.

Some fantastic impressionism from Godowsky Also, I want to start making videos where i play with the camera above my head, directly onto my hands, then add in the score above it aswell, can anyone recommend some software as close to free as possible that i can do this with ? all the free ones ive downloaded are either unusably bad for syncing audio to millisecond accuracy, or they add big watermarks all over the video.

Its absolutely incomprehensible that this is still going ahead in the midst of a pandemic. I quite literally now fucking hate my own nationality. I haven't seen my extended family (not my parents) for a long time because I might actually accidentally kill them with corona but I know they are staunch tories and I genuinely don't know how to respect people who view tory politics and brexit as sane, intelligent, or moral people any more. I'm losing the plot with humanity. I never assumed aged 15 in high school I could feel such an intense loathing for my own birthplace and nationality. more than that, I still can't even decipher a single benefit, not only for the 42 percent of the country so utterly retarded they thought this was a good idea, but even for the politicians and financial engineers responsible for tricking them into voting for it. I just can't believe an opportunity to short a market is worth the destruction of a an entire developed nations trade and the dissolution of the UK. I dont understand who this benefits. Its beginning to make americas 4 year flirtation with a leader as despicable as trump a game, because this shitshow is not something you can vote out 4 years later. Quote

reading the first post of this was nostalgic. nearly 7 years on and all I own in terms of hardware now is a digitone, an eventide space, an eventide pitch factor, and the basic power/midi modules needed to build a modular again if i fancy it. Sold everything i owned, genelecs included, to get a stock portfolio, and subsequently had to use the money this year to survive the covid hospitality industry scourge.

why do people still pay exorbitant amounts to use mac? this was actually the reason I sold my secondhand macbook for £100, I accidentally allowed it to update after 2 years of clicking later once a day, and within 10 minutes of the update the notification popped up again and my mind snapped, i nearly attacked an electronic device like a rage filled gamer for the first time in my life. put it on gumtree immediately and never looked back.

Buying individual stocks is essentially gambling unless you know how to do financial DD, even then, there is a famous case of a chimpanzee in the 80s who picked stocks by throwing darts at a board and outperformed most managers over time. World index funds like VSTAX are a different matter though inital investment £2,000.00 monthly deposits £200 9.31% annual return. 8 year projection £32,173.17 8 year interest £10,973.17 18 year projection £117,192.11 18 year interest earned £71,992.11 28 year £324,229.29 28 year interest earned £255,029.29 Compound interest is a powerful tool. Those projections are my rough total wealth at 40, 50, and 60 based on my current saving patterns, and im on minimum wage at the moment. if i was to up my savings to 600 a month i will comfortably become a millionaire. you can also gamble on options contracts for insane returns but that basically the casino.

cheers for the reply. All i need to do is line it up to be frame perfect with the moment my finger hits the first note, which is actually easier said than done with any free software ive tried. Im going to see if i can figure out how to export and Avi properly in after effects though, it seems to be pointlessly upscaling the resolution to its maximum.

why do TV when you can sit and take the piss out of computer games, having a wail of a time, with 500 people giving you 4 quid a month (or whatever it is) to do it? Living the dream.

can anyone do me a small favour and recommend a piece of free software that can just add audio files to video files? I have aftereffects but i cannot for the fucking life of me figure out why it is exporting videos off my phone that are 1.2 gigabytes as 25 gigabyte AVI's when all ive done is added a direct recording of the piano and change the brightness.

rubin farr still posting absolute belters after my year away i see.

some cheesy belters in there, this is a demo for my first wedding im playing whenever weddings are allowed to continue Poulenc - Melancholie Burton Lane - On A Clear Day Debussy Arabesque 1 Over The rainbow Love Letters George Shearing - Wendy Chopin - Nocturne No.9 in B Major Debussy - Reverie Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde

I actually dont compose for piano atall man. The mere concept in the face of the giants of composition of whom it takes me months to even learn a single piece by is offputting and frankly i dont think i have the skill to add anything to the reptoire that already exists. i prefer finding the most interesting and lesser known pieces that i can play with conviction and learning them. Im trying to learn jazz improv but its literally like learning a new instrument because i can sight read fluently. completely different way of operating your brain. appreciate your interest though.

This is TV worthy.

Bit late to the party, but hollow Knight. Astonishingly good. I've started making bootleg house versions of my favourite area themes im so impressed

im still slowly working on the album. currently focussing on content for a website post lockdown to get students, maybe some background lounge work and stop having to chef for a living. I also need to get better at making my digital piano sound rich and expansive in ableton.

I find roguelites have grown to be my favourite genre of game. ruthlessly challenging, yet the upgrades you chip away at while failing, mixed with rising skill levels, leave you deeply satisfied when you finally break through a checkpoint, or finish them. also you can play for 45 minutes and get a full session in.

Hades is my new Roguelite and it is fantastic. Much more forgiving than Enter the Gungeon, but still pretty challenging, and with an incredibly deep set of upgrades and conditions for replayability.

Recent addictions, Granados - Goyescas. Intensely textural Spanish suite, astonishing displays of pianism at times. Vitoslav Novek - Pan (has both orchestral and piano solo version). Fairly under the radar Czech music, highly tonal with interesting unplanned modulations and rich orchestration. the solo piano version is great too. Nikolai Kasputin - 8 Concert Etudes, Sonata Fantasy No.1. Jazz classical on crack. The Sonata literally sounds unplayable at times. Prokofiev - Sonata No.8 . A work of intense anguish interespersed with strange uplifting soviet motifs, this one is a tough one to wrap your head around, highly rewarding when you do though. The first movement is 16 minutes long, but i mostly recommend the third for some crazy soviet bipolaristic harmony interplay. Leopold Godowsky - Piano Sonata. Gorgeous post romantisicm from the almost undisputed master of contrapuntality. Its a slog at 45 minutes, but the first movement alone is worth giving 5-6 listens to see if you can roll with it. Leo Ornstein - Cello Sonatas. Awesome, virtuoso pieces from a composer who managed to live through two century turns. his works alternate between full atonality, note cluster showmanship pieces, and stylistic late romantic, flowing stuff, of which the cello sonatas fall into the latter. Messiaen - Preludes. Written when he was a teenager, and beautiful as fuck. check em out.
