Re: Ostermilk: I'm Callin You Out
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...

Ostermilk: I'm Callin You Out
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...

Re: Should We Think About Music?
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...

Re: Should We Think About Music?
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...

Re: Should We Think About Music?
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...

Re: Nostromo Techno EP
... 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...

Re: Nostromo Techno EP
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...

Re: Some methods I use when making music
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...

Re: Some methods I use when making music
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 ...

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.

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 We Think About Music?
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.

Re: Some methods I use when making music
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 ...
