Listening to an arpeggiator for hours on end

Time is my arch nemesis. There’s all this ooga booga shit telling you that time is multidimensional, but in reality there’s a beginning and an end and it’s just one moment after another until you die. I can’t escape it, so I try my best to slow it down. One way is to play with the possibility of infinitude through music. I open Ableton, build a synth with Operator, draw out a chord, add an arpeggiator and set the style to Random Other, and press play. With eternal melodies that have no beginning or ending you can get stuck in the loop and feel the freedom of just middles.

Listening to the same song over and over until you become one with the track

Get obsessive and pop quiz sing it to yourself doing the dishes. Rewind, sing, rewind, section chunking, lyric websites. You think it's easy to have so many karaoke songs ready at the drop of a hat and not be thrown off by the laggy lyric highlighting? To do the background vocals and the exact cadence and hum the instrumental breaks if you need to? No, it's WORK, it's TIME that can be spent doing something else but you choose to do this. And also it's fun. This is a sneak rec of The Chase by Tinashe from her 2021 album 333. Listened to it 40 times today. I have become one with the track.
