    I found myself looking up geothermal heating costs the other day (big factor in a potential house move) and realized no, I didn't expect this kind of stuff would one day be a bigger concern than my Soundcloud followers.

    Geothermal heating is awesome though

    Otherwise life has had it's ups and downs. I don't know. I didn't really have any master plan personally. I've at least tried most of things I wanted to try. Except for going to space, I guess.

    What's so great about going to space, anyway? As a kid I wanted to be on the Enterprise but what it is for our lifetimes is just being shot really high in a tin can ?. But I know the sentiment

    Pretty good but it took a while to get there! Many dreams died along the way but so did many insecurities, fair trade I guess. Some situations were very difficult, some choices were stupid. Happy about my life and relationships today. World situation has turned out a lot worse than I expected. Trying to be level-headed about expectations, priorities and life in general. One day it's all gone so I don't bother thinking too much about it. My main hope is to remain reasonably healthy, everything else is just a bonus. It was a bumpy ride with hard lessons to get here, so having some nuclear zombie bullshit happen now would be a kick in the nuts. 

    Good outlook ?

    i feel like if i could time travel back to teenage me, touch his head and transmit a condensed image of the past few years, he would just crumple and give up. life is much more difficult than ever imagined, but that makes you appreciate the good moments more. 

    music is one of the greatest distractions from such moments of realisation. a bit of a miracle, in a way.

    Yeah that's true. I think I couldn't comprehend the challenges and responsibilities. But you find a way to figure it out or you don't and that's alright too.

    Sleepwalking ever closer to a fascist dystopia as I predicted 30yrs ago so yeah, pretty much how I expected it to go. Bit slower than I predicted but probably much worse also.

    Credit for calling it

    Popping in, was around in the joyrex days etc etc no one cares.

     

    But the forum's been around for a long time...did life turn out like you thought?

    For me yeah pretty boring, wife two kids suburban life decent job. Still like the same music I did 20 years ago, plus a few things here or there. Back to making music in the last couple years. Still game. Have kept a lot of the same friends from growing up plus new neighbors. Life's been good so far.

    I Make You a Birthday Song

    in Your Latest Creations

    Posted

    Going to revive something I used to do back when I was a functional member of the board about 20 years ago.

    Reply in this thread when it is your birthday and I will make you a track. 

    To help, you can give me a prompt, one or two words and a piece of gear I have:

    Digitakt, Digitone, Ableton (can specify a plugin in the Arturia V Collection if you want), Novation Circuit, Novation Circuit Mono Station. 

    No guarantee of length, timeliness, or quality! But it will be for you.

    Any thoughts about how to best upload this music is appreciated. If I just attach them here Im going to run out of space quickly yeah or do I just fork over some more money to the board man.

    You made me a birthday song once and it was one of the most thoughtful things anyone has ever done for me. Sadly I have lost the song to time but the memory suffices. Thank you.

    I gotta do that again people loved that and they weren't even good, lol ?

    Is this coming out on any online music stores besides bleep? Amazon mp3? Spotify? Would search the thread but I'm not sure I see a way how.

    Apparently it's on Spotify, don't use it myself though ! What's wrong with bleep for digital purchases if you don't mind me asking ?

     

     

     

    Nothing wrong. I have a spotify account already and use it on mobile, so it's essentially the same thing as owning for now. Amazon I get points, and I've never had any issues with their mp3 purchasing system.
