Hah. Some really nice points there, thanks for the video! Just referring to some points that were directed at or about me: You said (if I may read between the lines here) that I am probably not a creative type and you're right, I am not. And I know that I am not. I can do creative things reasonably...

I am not beyond cheap "bit.ly esque" click bait topics. Really this is just me giving some quick impressions of some of the great comments you guys gave, in the "should we think about music" thread. There is so much to be explored in that thread alone and I the best way I can take something from tha...

I do agree with what some folks are saying about how it depends on where you want to go with your music. I might come off as unstable and a little unhinged at times (sorry EDM kids) but I do have goals with my music that are going to require technical knowledge. So now the question is: why study th...

Theres no question that you can take art further the more you learn about and practice your art. Theres also something to be said about reproducibility here - sure your cat might make great music while walking over the keyboard but will it happen twice? However the actual question of mine which the...

As with all artistic ventures, the requirements of training depend largely on what you want to achieve. In visual arts, one can compare a child's drawing, a Gustave Doré illustration, and abstract expressionism. The drawing by a young child may lack skill but can have an energy and charm of its own...

... As for rate of productivity, I come up with a core idea in a few hours (core ideas were posted in the preview I shared on YouTube) then spend up to no more than nine hours arranging and finalizing. Nine is good; I have tried 3 hour limits and then have something that feels slapped together. I h...

Lenore is a big track. Lovin that part where the speaker is just repeating Lenore, with that reverb on top of it-would really add value to a club atmosphere. Those laser chords are so sick!!!. Lenore's fiancé, Guy de Vere, finds it inappropriate to "mourn" the dead; rather, one should celebrate the...

You have had me so anti-puzzle i forgot that: research has shown that jigsaw puzzles may improve your memory! So if i wanted to perform a complicated piece of music, I would be quicker able to do so, with the aid of a hobby that has nothing to do with music. Haa! I'm pretty sure that's not how it w...

But if I open my mind and ask: could there be something in this video that could somehow enhance my future well-being, am I resourceful enough to find something of value? What good can I find in this video? Reminder of the importance of being open minded for one. Well that was really at the core of...

So then all we are left with is opinion and preference; on an entertainment level you think I'm basically doing the same thing this guy is doing and I simply don't. On the deepest level he is is a guy doing what he enjoys (even if I personally think its ridiculous and could only sit through a few m...

Barrymore blabbn If what I do is equivalent to how Mr. Barrymore spends his time, may the military draft age limit increase to include me! You comparing me to this guy begs the question: Do I want to spend my time doing things that contribute to society? No, I'm content doing the minimum in regards...

:shifty: Jah man just ripped the album from soundcloud ( out with the old in with the new as it were) and ready to turn the analytical thoughts off and let the theater of the mind begin. So far..... track 2 method to my madness has this very addicting bassline; With all the talk of being creative it...

I improved by thinking about things more, elevated myself above my own thoughtless musical monkeydom, tore up my own rule-book, plugged in a guitar and cranked it to the point of feedback, waited for the neighbours to start banging on the door and shouting through the letter box, I then selected a ...

But it's really not about teflon tomb, but what ideas can we take from these videos to be more inspired. If the personality rubs you the wrong way: Feel free to rant , rave, complain and throw tomatoes. But as for the concepts: There are some potent ideas here that can really assist an artist, in b...

At first glance its like oh great, another thread about this ugly self obsessed twit. But it's really not about teflon tomb, but what ideas can we take from these videos to be more inspired. If the personality rubs you the wrong way: Feel free to rant , rave, complain and throw tomatoes. But as for...

I actually sat down and thought about these questions and here are my answers to them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=395rhIXKbn4&feature=youtu.be First of all thanks for the video, kind of honored that you spent the time to do it just to answer some "random guy on the web". However I right away h...

I actually sat down and thought about these questions and here are my answers to them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=395rhIXKbn4&feature=youtu.be Definitely feeling the influence of the moon in this one. :o Full moons are when I go through my transformation! Reminds me of one of my favorite piece...

Here is my review of the review of the review of Teflon Tomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymM8tPoC5V0&t=3s Yeah a general music discussion is nice. It would be some lovely dissonance as opposed to people arguing about "the Reason sound", jacking off to new releases or talking about other trivia...

People just mindlessly consume and can't really blame them. They go and watch a superhero movie hoping to cum in their pants without thinking about the production process for fux sakes. Nobody will ever really understand Heath Ledger. You two seem to have your own little discussion going here, so f...

Should I want to improve I would want to be trained. Training is good, but if I don't think about what I do, I am not a true artist, but a product of training- I am no different than a dancing horse.

hmm modiccai ,just like to say i found the your original video uplifting and the start of everything going great, i owes you! Thanks buddy! When I have ideas that excite me, whether they be broad in application or specific/technical, I love to share them and see if I can spread the inspiration . I ...

Here is my review of the review of the review of Teflon Tomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymM8tPoC5V0&t=3s Very stimulating discussion here. I think its time to start a series called General Music Making Discussion, to further explore some of the things said in this video and some of the opposi...

Reading up on the subject a little bit, I can now see where your coming from. Motive (Motif) Another term that usually refers to a piece of melody (although it can also refer to a rhythm or a chord progression) is “motif.” A motif is a short musical idea—shorter than a phrase—that occurs often in a ...

Hi! I just finished watching all three of your vids. I'm not as greatly articulate as you, I'm sleep-deprived and a bit intoxicated facing a twelve hour shift tomorrow but I wanted to bring up a solid counter-argument in writing before I call it quits today. You claim your (earlier) music is atonal...

This is a video response to Peter Lansford discussing my work over the last few months.
