MY DEMANDS HAVE NOT BEEN MET OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED
i'm dizzy btw.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Saturday, 1 May 2021 22:53 (two years ago) link
completely unrelated and completely on a serious note here—
really excited for this. i've been dealing with some personal stuff a lot the past few months. just last week, i was ambulanced away to the er in the middle of the night because i thought i was experiencing something seriously going bad with my heart. i'm lucky i wasn't 5150'd. it was just anxiety, but that should give you an idea of what it's been like.
i haven't recorded any music —or even played / practiced regularly— in nearly a month.
started working on my tune last night. instant relief. usually when i record i will just track and mix everything in marathon sessions, which has its pros and cons. but this? i'm gonna take my time and do my absolute best on this one — not that i don't normally, but sometimes you get a little woozy towards the end of nine hours of playing and mixing, obviously.
i <3 u ilx

hey imago, i used the ilx email form thingy and sent you a google drive link for mine. just fyi.
stoked for this, btw.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Saturday, 8 May 2021 15:12 (two years ago) link
I hope you're feeling better now.
This is an interesting challenge for me because I'm feeling good about the end of lockdown but the music I normally make isn't what you'd call upbeat or optimistic.
― paolo, Sunday, 9 May 2021 08:28 (two years ago) link
nvm, count me out.
stay clever.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, 11 May 2021 18:00 (two years ago) link
is it too late for me join in for this?
and austin, how come? hope you'll at least post your jams on bandcamp, i always enjoy them

I've done most of the work over the weekend. I still have to record the vocals and mix the whole thing.

I’ll aim to send my lo-fi beats to study / relax to over the weekend.

a suite of son-songs
LJ seems to be on a major sabbatical so this has slid off the table, out the front door and down the nearest drain. A pity as I've got stuff ready to go now!

have in fact made a tentative return to ILM (and ILB) only, so uh if people still want to do this and if I haven't burnt too many bridges then go for it!
― imago, Saturday, 9 October 2021 11:31 (two years ago) link
Get it out in time for Christmas at least.

I have ambient synth to contribute, which is a genre of music that no one is exploring in 2021

I've got three or four possibles, not sure which is most appropriate for a crawling out of lockdown comp.

― ava (paolo), Thursday, 6 July 2023 08:04 (nine months ago) link
I made a tune for this but it really wasn't very good. something that came up for me at the time and has also been coming up recently is that making happy music is actually really fucking difficult. most of the music i've ever made is pretty fucking moody but i've been trying to make more upbeat tracks lately, maybe it's because I'm just not used to doing that, or maybe happy music is more technically difficult somehow, like you need to properly know about music theory etc?
― ava (paolo), Thursday, 6 July 2023 08:08 (nine months ago) link
I remember watching a documentary about Scottish music (I think) and they had a wee interview with kt tunstall and she spoke about how writing a sad song is a piece of piss, anyone can do that but writing a happy song that's actually good takes a lot more skill, and ya know what I think old kt was onto something there.
― ava (paolo), Thursday, 6 July 2023 08:09 (nine months ago) link
lol maybe the BE HAPPY OR ELSE subtext was a bit strong here

I actually have the opposite problem, everything I do sounds very bright and positive and upbeat.
