    Any tips for making music with a full time job?

    in EKT General Discussion

    Posted

    Some great, concrete tips so far and also some perspectives that are really nice.

    Just for the record, I'm not trying to be famous or successful even as a musician really. Just for fun. 

    Might release something once in a while, perhaps. Maybe not - I don't know how you people feel about it, but deep down I think we make music/art for it to be heard or seen or whatever. And as soon as your art is perceived, it's very hard to not pay attention to what people think of it. You start paying attention to what people say (or don't say), and the initial pureness goes away. You start comparing your work to other people's work. It's bullshit. Just enjoy yourself and don't take it seriously. But on the other hand, you want to make something good, so you have to take it seriously up to a certain point.

    I'm trying to go for big brain emoji rating with this post.

    also, sorry about the red text halfway through, I'm on phone and don't know what happened

    Thanks for the replies so far peeps!

    I get the "if you really love (making) music, then you can always make time" point of view. But yeah like you guys also already pointed out, that's easier said than done.

    I have the same (i think lack of motivation/time?) problem with reading btw. When i was jobless, i spent hours and hours reading nice literature.

    Working life has turned me into this basic bitch a little bit which I kinda hate lol. Even though my job is ok.

    Well, that "You'll Never Get Anywhere By Spending All Day Playing Around With That Bloody Drum Machine EP (2001)" (awesome name) .

    It's in that same category as "you've got so many machine, Richard!"

    Oh mum, dad, pls. Leave me be.

    Great tunes always keep coming back to this dudes music

    Love that emotinium tune, why ruin it by stealing that title from ceephax?? The fuck

    Ceephax version is also pretty great. I like the ceelands version the most, the other one is a bit too polished tbf

    I remember afx playing it in sets before that track was released. Good times

    ok imo this is not a stupid first world problem, but simply a normal first world problem that really pisses me off:

    yahoo apparently deletes inactive accounts after a while, without warning

    now i lost access to my fucking flickr account and i can't download original size artsy bs pics that i took

     

    also my microwave/electrical oven was smoking like hell, so i put the frozen pizza back in the fridge and got a real pizza instead.

    USPS sucks so bad omg

    They marked a package delivered "at the front door" on a day when the road to my house is literally blocked by a landslide. Within thirty minutes they marked a different package as "no access." No mail has arrived here (or anywhere beyond the landslide) since last Thursday. Ace Ventura over there probably just booted the package into the ravine and called it a day. 

    :catrage:

    Lol 

    Fwp about other courier: two days ago i got a notification about my package being dropped off at pick up point. Yesterday i got an email: your package has been collected. Not by me afaik

    I got refunded tho

    the thing about AE tho is their lack of "traditional knowledge" is very apparent in a lot of their music; even programming their melodic algorithms they overlook certain clashes of notes that are not quite "yeah i thought this clash sounded cool" but rather just, oh they didn't know that when you shift to a phrygian chord in a minor key you can't play the natural second over it (this is probably THE most common "wrong note" i hear in music across genres btw)... and i say wrong note because it doesn't work as an intentionally broken rule, it just doesn't, it sounds like shit every single time.  

    Can you post an example of this? Eg. Track and timestamp? Thx

     

    Ideally one example of how it should sound and one example of how it shouldn't if it's not too much effort lol thx
