    pretty wild. so many scams w/spotify. 

    "a single Swedish composer, Johan Röhr, has amassed 15 billion streams on Spotify under at least 656 different artist pseudonyms."

    I bet one of Johan Rohr's pseudonyms is Daniel Ek.

    Any other IDM Dads noticed Enbounce is a remix of "Flowers" from Daydreams (the cbeebies show with pusha doing the tunes and olivia coleman narrating)?

    (timestamped to the right bit)

     

    just licensed an earlier squarepusher track with the same melody

    I'm increasingly finding this to be true now, and think it may be why it's hard for me to get into. It's fine if I don't listen to other music beforehand, but if other really nicely mixed / mastered albums have generally been on in the day, the new one sounds thin - particularly the breaks for some reason. If in a good mood I can overlook it, but on other occasions can't.

    It's probably better in this regard than the series of releases after Hello Everything (until Be Up A Hello, which was a nice return to warmth even in its most extreme moments) but I still find the mixing choices or overall impact weirdly flabby. Strangely the solo bass tracks have grown on me a lot though - and they don't suffer from this.

    Does he master his own stuff? It's quite strange going even further back to Go Plastic and realising how massive that sounded. Of course all of this is likely deliberate, and obviously my subjective uninformed take, but I'd find the music a lot easier to get into with more of a meaty overall sheen. Even the Shobaleader One could have relaly kicked ass with more upfront, rich mixing/mastering, like some weird fantasy r'n'b record. 
     

    What albums do you find to be nicely mixed?

    Elmo for prez. 

     I found it really hilarious how between these cries for help there where these tweets of corporations/famous peoples pr department trying to be all relatable.

    There is this guy being all depressed about his life and then there is nasa one tweet under it " we are all made of stardust"🌠

  5. Why are people so concerned with the meaning behind the art ? Shouldn't the things you felt be the only thing that mattered?

    Like after listening to some instrumental music do you care about a meaning ? I feel like in music we only really care about the feeling why is that so different with visual art?

    Also when i listen to other music i can hear these melodic shapes or phrases. But im very confused what  defines these shapes  like where one starts and ends.

    But i feel like adhering to these shapes and making small adjustments to them is what creates most of the stability in  the melodic sequence. And i don't think im doing that quite right

    your own music that you're producing? or just music in general? 

    typically if something i'm making sounds chaotic it's because my mix is shit and needs organizing/attention.. or maybe there's just too much in it and i should drop some parts.  

    this dude used to record album projects for weeks at the studio i worked at in san diego and he'd have these great ideas and amazing parts then bury them under layers of instrumentation and the good idea would vanish.. covered in new age world music goop. i'd always get kind of bummed because he'd be like "we're using every channel in the console for mix down and 2 24 track tape machines" like that in itself made it impressive.. which it was but only for the engineer who was super talented and made it all work.  i always wanted to take his tapes and do a remix when he wasn't around and just strip half the parts out of it and make bare bones. 

    i just drank coffee so am typing too much. 

    Nah its not a mixing thing since it happens when i just have a melody line and want to add a bassline to it or something. Im not quite sure if i should have the other elements be subordinate to the melody. What do you think about that?

    One foot in the grave is his best album imo. Sea Change was also great. 

     

    I once fingerbanged a pregnant prostitute named Shirley to this song in front of a window overlooking the sea whilst the sun was coming up.  It was a really beautiful experience, I wrote a beautiful poem about it that i recited at her funeral after she died during childbirth.
