“overwrought, masturbatory posturing intended to make insecure hipsters feel as if they’re part of some imagined elite beau monde.” is a line I use a lot. Occasionally enjoyed a hatewank hour listening to the top rated albums, made me feel superior

It's not appropriate when your star sign/circadian rhythm is in the stimulant house, nor the narcotic house. But betwixt these two, when a perceptual change is needed, when your head is full of fuck, it's viable. Some people were born a whisky short. Others need a spliff to become stone cold sober. Me, I lack drive. Weed ain't gonna fuck with that

I knew before I clicked it would be this. Bangface is in serious trouble of not going ahead I think

I guess it's about enforcing constraints, and playing instruments as opposed to programming - I'm no drummer so writing in this kind of way I find a little frustrating. But tapping out a rhythm in sixes instead of typically fours is unintuitive enough to make me think differently and change what kind of bass lines and melodies to create. I obviously love listening to all the clattercore and awkward riddims of the braindance artists, but most things I listen to are much less rhythmically complex. Writing music in that way isn't as cathartic to me, and I don't have a good enough sense of how to combine time signatures without making a hot mess. Although I've got a rhythm trainer app on my phone that might help

Learn a bit of theory to put into practice, stuff like progressions, modulations, so when I write music, I come at it from a different angle than just jamming. I've been thinking for a while about setting myself some rules to compose rather than just noodling. Make all my drums in 6/4. Use the microtonal scale which I mapped 12 notes of a keyboard to 12 equal divisions of a perfect 5th.

I always just made music too, using reason/samplers etc. I'd tried DJing vinyl in my teens but found it less fun and unintuitive but 20 years later I got rekordbox and it's much more fun and easy. Set it up with 4 decks, upload all your stems on there and i find it's a lot more straightforward to mix than trying to use a daw

I've been using lalal.ai , I've got some spare credits so DM me a couple of tracks if you want

All the Mr Oizo/Quentin Dupieux films Realite/Wrong Cops/Yannick were my favourites, but I enjoyed most of the others too, just that style of French absurdism

Oh yeah I see now, it's a cowbell mapped to a keyboard, mad how a little grid pattern like that arises and becomes a music meme, like the hihats in trap.

On the Jdm drift Saint-Petersburg//Phonk video (track is What the Fuck by Rhodamine) I like how the beat sits about 90bpm but the keyboard makes it feel much more like 180, really drives it before I even think about the redline distortion. Its almost as if the keyboard is doing the hihats job

the first two tracks are dirty as fuck, i really dig that sound

ded apparently if you arrange all those piece you can make the daft punk diarama make a noise through i dunno capacitors or 55555s or some shit
