    politics are yucky, mainly because people believe in them.

    That track is extremely good. I failed to find anything wrong with it. Good on Warp.

    not a very genius-like thing to say never understood why people idolized him and gilded him with money. but that's what he wanted, to be a golden calf. it all just flew over my head, maybe since I've been out of the states since before they made him into the greatest genius who ever lived.

    given that marijuana has a medical use, it shouldn't be a schedule 1 drug. and scheduling them didn't do anything to reduce crime really since the harsher the crime, the more profit is involved in crime, and the more severe that criminals deal with altercations with police and snitches. besides, peace isn't as profitable as war (so that's probably why it's an issue)

    i'm not Databroth and I don't know them, but i think they make a decent channel of just knob twiddling with good sounding software tools. Whether he stays on the topic exactly isn't important, I just think it's a neat concept for a channel. Anybody could do this kind of channel, but I don't see too many people just focusing like this and no words or anything. It's his thing, not necessarily my thing but there's good demos of just the noises and knob twiddling. I'll peep them sometimes just to see what all the buzz may be about with this or that generator or effect. whether those tools may be worth the hype or not.

    the unfortunate thing about energy in europe is that there's really no energy shortage, only greed and corruption on the highest levels. the energy brokers ain't broke, to mangle a pun. the other unfortunate thing is that most people (on both sides of the iron curtain) accept the word of politicians and their banker/corporate controllers, and their owned and controlled mainstream news sources on face value and wonder why the world never seems to become a utopia.

    some of the first things i ever did on a modular was with vaz, i'd just mess with stuff until it started to do random sounding patterns. i didn't even know what generative music was. another thing i did was i bought 5 cd players and recorded myself playing different instruments to a metronome, with varying durations, and burning cds with different instruments per disc and put them on repeat and just hit play. everything would be in time but playing back in a pattern that would probably never exactly repeat, or if it would i'd never notice. hey but that's not exactly generative music, but it's ok since i didn't know what generative music was back then.

    looks like they are being rounded up for extermination, not that war isn't for something else. i mean, the usa borrows money from china, makes arms to give to ukraine to use on russia, who are presumably the ally to china. nobody wants to say that someone thinks there are too many people and are desperate for ways to thin the herd. what a species we are.

    Well I stand corrected but I still think that they were either consciously or unconsciously taking off from it. At that time in history there was a massive Star Wars craze going on at least as I remember it.

    if the key or intervals aren't similar, i'm a bit tone deaf but it's what i honestly thought I heard.

    vital doesn't have it's own midi note generation or a typical kind of arp, so you are absolutely rightish. however, some sorts of knobdraggery can end you up with a one-note sequence that can go on basically evolving and never repeat, mostly never repeat. Some of us have been pestering the developer Matt Tytel to add note generation and other cool stuff though. Vital seems to have been modeled after Serum. But at the end of the day, all Databroth seems to do is twiddle knobs, which on reflection one might think it to be over-glorified activity but really the starting point of many a music maker's forays into footbrain. Not that all brainfeet are whiff-readable. edit: and yes he uses mostly commercial software which is paid, and i imagine he's got devs attention and i imagine they give him licenses possibly since he demos the stuff on tv. but i do learn a bit about some of the newer sound design tools from there.

    if Warner Brothers owns Chappell, then why was Jeffries trying to get royalties from Apex? shouldn't Apex have had to pay BMG or Warner Brothers? if it's about the writing, i'm pretty sure John Williams wrote the melody. Damn i should have been a lawyer.

    I think Youtuber Databroth is quite EKT

    The 'writing' of Evil At Play appears to be both the melody and cadence from John Williams' main theme for Star Wars, which was world famous before Evil at Play. So they are extra bold in claiming that they "wrote" it. I mean if I'd heard the thing out of context I'd imagine they were humming Star Wars.

    interesting, I'd like to see Ned Rush do a demo. and in other news, Matt Tytel just made Vital 1.5 public.

    Really on a tear with this series of tracks, recommended your SC to friends. Virtuoso on the 303.

    i was scared to watch this cause it might be cringe or bad, but i thought it was well made and had a concise story, candid, and industry standard production quality. starring linklater, penn jillette, jerry casale, etc. good plot curve. also just watched this banger of a movie: https://archive.org/details/the-day-the-earth-stood-still-1951_202106

    I wouldn't personally worry about mastering at all, or how many likes, or having a sound cloud pro account, just keep making bangers! i like the end of the world track, but it sounds at points like it is background music, like i want to hear something in contrast such as some vocal samples or some leads.
