i watched The Vince Staples Show (EXCELLENT!) the other day, and this morning i woke up and thought to myself, "what would 'TAKING TRIPS' by Vince sound like if it was just over the sample of the loop rather than the repitched and drumful beat?" so i opened Moises, Soulseek, and Logic, and made that shit happen. now i don't have to wonder because i know. and it sounds good as fuck

the name i'm settling on for my new improvisational music project. for free for you. on spotify too but that's in the process of being changed to the hopefully more legally distinguishable name. I found out there was a other band with a similar name I don't want trouble, so it's "baseball on mute. moving" now, a punctuation and a verb make it more confusing and off putting in my mind, which works and i hope won't land me in hot water down the line. plus when i watch baseball muted, there is still movement, and i still move on in life myself so it feels like it makes sense. I'm not aiming to make any money anyway, just doing it cause it feels right to do.
I hammered out the words over the course of a little over a month, fiddled around with chord progression ideas until i found out about improvisational music and listened to some- the work of Bill Orcutt and Chris Corsano were particularly influential. It's freeing to strip away all the "rules" and get down to the soul of it all. what else is there to say? I feel like making more.

i haven't made a lot of music in 2024 so far. i've spent a month interstate and another month counting the days until i got put on the payroll again.
however, i've finally finished a proper track of mine in my usual way. i haven't even played songs my main synth, really, with the exception of an open mic i did the other week. it was really cool because i met a lot of like minded people who were all brilliant in a different way. they loved my songs even if that was the first time i touched my synth all year, so my playing wasn't too good. but open mics aren't about playing good.Β
i have also been messing around with DAWs and programming my own VSTs... FL studio is where it's at with DAWs. really really fun to make a song and get it done. my boyfriend has been a huge helper with it, i love making songs for him to slow and reverb as part of his music. i made a song just for him to do that on valentines day <3
programming VSTs is really cool too. ive always been interested in making synths, but there are many many roadblocks with hardware synths... i approve of free software even if there's really big drawbacks to it. like weird undocumented stuff that comes to bite you on the ass.
i recorded a song properly today, which i havent done in quite a while. it's quite fun, i miss working with my digital recorder. for me, everything with hardware like that Just Works. one of my cables broke but ive managed to bend it back in shape and it works(tm) for now. awesomeΒ π

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
