I’ve wasted hundreds of hours of my life - maybe even more - doing nothing but listening to music with weird effects put onto them. I like to drag and drop songs from my downloads folder and put a bunch of flanger and compression and low pass filters and blah blah blah… like whatever im feeling!! Its really boring but also really fun to me… and sometimes the inner workings of a song comes out when you put effects on it… frequencies that you didn’t even know were there!

downloaded Mpc beats and have been toiling away at making ‘music’ for a couple of hours. I have no idea what I’m doing it’s like the swampy equivalent of when you see a piano and just jam around on the keys for a bit. No talent no Shame. Just having a hell of a time stringing noises together in a way they should never be strung

i just got the teenage engineering ep 133 ko ii (whew, what a mouthful.) i don’t yet know all the functions but ive had a blast making a few beats with my limited knowledge. i love the fact that there seems to be no eq—your samples are as they come, with the exception of pitch and amplitude. in the world of DAWs i feel like i am sometimes overwhelmed by options (this sound would be better if i Eq’d it. or maybe the transient has too much attack. or i think it needs to be sidechained to blah blah blah etc). of course these capabilities are incredibly useful, but when making music i feel like you can make a banger with really simple stuff. with the ko ii i just play the audio directly into the machine, sample it where i want it, and play the chops. then i play the drums in by hand. and that’s it and it sounds fucking great

About a year ago my friends and I started a list of funny things for us to name our Sims. It very soon spiraled out of control when I gave a bunch of friends access to it. It’s currently over 70 pages long and is home to names such as “Alexis Lexapro,” “Gooey Baddie,” and a personal favorite “A Boy Named Filo Dough” . In an alternate universe they would make really good iCarly penny tees. One day I’ll publish it as a book or a website that generates a new name everyday.

I only ever went to confession Once… There was a short period of time where my mom was trying to get me and my sister to believe in God, which was strange because shes not even a practicing christian like that … but whatever. It didnt work. but now that I think about it like.. Confession is such a good idea . Maybe in theory. But Think about it. Just you and some shadowy figure separated by a wall. and you have to memorize some prayers. Idk which ones. But like . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ??? Shit we did I'll never tell

There's a certain kind of stigma that tiktok stars face when releasing music but Addison Rae beat the odds. She has the capabilities to be a main pop girl . I hope she releases some of it soon, as unlikely as that may seem . But lately that has been the soundtrack to my life especially while I was on tour . When I say every song. Every chorus. Every line. Every word. Every syllable. And I took it personally
