  I had a dream in which an old man was complaining to me about his life, saying it was over, and he asked me to press a button that would kill him. And I pressed it. His wife didn’t pay any attention to it, and she didn’t care, nor did his children or his grandson. But I found myself thinking that he had a family, a home, children and grandchildren, and everything was fine, and perhaps he could have carried on living that life with dignity, but I deprived him of that opportunity by doing what he...

  @limneticvillains mhm, and it almost always has some corporate designs like it was AI-generated, it's always centralized and they never have any interesting ideas or something that would distinguish them from popular platforms except that they pretend to be for indieee guuyyys

  @limneticvillains I agree. And it might sound harsh, but in an industry where one in three is a drug addict and one in ten is a pedophile, I rarely get particularly excited about the people themselves or their personalities; even if we know nothing about them, it’s usually just the music for me :/ Anyway, I’ve got an opinion about "artist vs. his art", so ig that's a nice opportunity to tell about it here? Imagine a small, democratic town where public meetings are held...

  My brain is so used to being depressed when something good is happening, at least for a bit, I'm quickly getting run out of dopamine and I just feel nothing, don't know what to do, and feel just as dumb as someone kicked me with a hammer

  I realized that for the last 6 years majority of my interaction with music has been killed by video essays, critique from YouTube, also million of advises from short videos. I think it's okay to watch tutorials on some things sometimes, but then your recommendation feed turns into "HOW TO MAKE VIRAL MELODIES", "5 SOUND DESIGN TRICKS THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR MUSIC BETTER", and artistic advices on what aesthetic is trending. I've never cared too much...

  @limneticvillains hey man! Since I'm from Russia, I won't be able to buy it anyway. +I don't feel like it's right time to make music for me. But I'd recommend you to contact somehow this guy: https://youtu.be/LYTUd1vfJ5U?is=cSHfaAugozCzKrES Send him free version, and that might be good little advertisment. Maybe try to find another channels. Yeah, just some stupid advices. But congrats with finishing and selling your product! That's a big work t...

  Is this okay if I enjoy making music, but I hate listening to what I've made? Idk, it just sounds too amateurisj, despite the fact that I'm making it for 8 years almost. And it's not "cutting the edge". And it kind of uses that style of electronic music that was around 30 years ago. That said, if I’d sent my music back to the ’90s, it would still have sucked just as much. I don’t know, I don’t really want to be popular, go viral, or make money. But I w...

  It's 6 years old, but here's a good article on modern "digital vs analog" situation in music https://cherryaudio.com/news/why-modern-digital-synthesis-is-more-analog-than-analog-by-mark-barton

  When you're blaming the billioners, or particular persons like Elon Musk, you are distracting people from the struggle against the bourgeoisie. Because it’s not just specific persons, or the billionaires who are bad, nor the owners of tech corporations, but the entire class as a whole, class of people who live off the labour of others. These particular persons you’re angry with simply reflect this more clearly than anyone else. There is no point in appealing to morality to them, because...

  Found out about probably one of the most innovative (Not AI-based) & experimental DAW developing right now. It's called Blockhead and it's available on Linux! Here's a video about this DAW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBYaIFliwr0 - Patreon of the developer: https://www.patreon.com/colugomusic #experimentalmusic #electronicMusic #linuxaudio #linux #DAW

  I dreamed of Richard Stallman today. Stallman came to my old school and began a lecture that started with the question "Could God create a stone that He could not lift?" But for some reason, in my dream, Stallman attributed this question to Kant. Classmates tried to give him the answers, but he promised to give them bad grades because “they aren’t autistic enough and try to find the answer too quickly so they don’t have to think for themselves.” And then it started to rain, and...

  Why Free/Libre software is philosophically different approach for creating music? "The industry has shifted to digital. This is where that illusion Stallman often spoke of really comes into play: you think you are the one giving instructions to your computer, but in reality, a corporation is the one issuing the commands, and the program will heed your instructions only to the extent the corporation permits. In the context of music, this means that corporations produce music, and you ca...

  "all my 2025 demos + cool turkish trip footage", uploaded it on youtube. Just in case, I was in huge creative block before, and in order to get out of it, I decided to make 1-2 demos per day, no matter how terrible they are. Often I deliberately wanted to make something weird. And the vids themselves were recorded a year ago in Sirince and Ephesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2IlNApPK3I #fedimusic #MastoArt #Artist #mastomusic #electronicMusic #demo

  Good day, all you wonderful mastodon people! My name is Arthur Flenyo, and I'm self-proclaimed electronic musician & time-traveler (which is a part of my lore). I'm refugee from commercialized internet, & I feel like communication there is heavily commodified (just like in real life most of the time, tbh). On this page I plan to post my feedback, critique and thoughts on other underground artists, so, feel free to reach out and share your stuff! In real life I work in a market...
