I’ve been lost in my DAW for a week now. Making music – especially something along the lines of Metal with actual instruments, not just synthesizers – is so hard. 😩 Makes you appreciate the work of all those artists out there a lot more.

** That one time when Buffy the Vampire Slayer maybe saved my life? **
A secret pleasure of mine in high school was getting home before my parents and watching 30 - 60 minutes of TV. I technically wasn’t allowed to do it, but I suspect they new I snuck this time whenever I could.

My favorite show to watch in this secreted me-time was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of all the episodes 3 have stuck with me the longest — the musical one…because of course…and the a pair of episodes;“I Was … ⌘ Read more

Old: losing weight by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Bold: losing weight by dancing to the elevator music in The Stanley Parable.

fourth, let’s look at music, especially jamming. if you improvise, you are riding that same edge of time as with meditation, all music you create is there right now, and only the causal vibe carrying it all forward. that’s why i mostly don’t compose or record (also because my music is shit)

halp i want to listen to music but my ears are tired what do

play/pause/stop is not a great interaction, but it does count. thinking of interactive music as a gradient rather than a dichotomy (interactive vs non-interactive) seems like a healthier way to think about things. #halfbakedideas

musical experience that involve harvesting, farming, growth, and caretaking of virtual musical creatures with personality. creatures would socialize with eachother and their interactions would change the overall musical sounds implicitely. #halfbakedideas

implicit music, or the idea that music naturally exudes from everything. composition is not the act of making music, but of starting with music and working backwards. #halfbakedideas

Getting around my current phone’s lack of a 3.5mm jack by…listening to music on my SIMless old phone. I feel like I’m cheating somehow.

penning out the structure of my current !music_software_ecosystem

a music sequencer, but for producing continuous gestures instead of discrete steps. have it be clocked with an external source so it can play well with others. perhaps build a notation system around it. #halfbakedideas

the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas

I’m enjoying listening to music on my re-discovered #MiniDisc players. Pop in the disc, press play and listen to about 150 minutes of your own music in clear digital quality.

thank you sean costello for teaching me how to make planetarium music

even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.
