Sarah Hurwitz makes me sick, a shande fur die goyim and fucking embarrassment. You people infuriate me and are the reason I will have to spend the rest of my life hesitant to display my Judaism in fear that someone will associate me with you psychopaths. I wish it wasn’t true but it is.

i used to have this sign up in my studio in an attempt to stave off the voice of What If. (sometimes, it even worked.)

Actualize what you’re envisioning through the tools you already have at your disposal. When you hit a brick wall of technical limitations, then you can go shopping for that one extra thing you don’t have.

You don’t need 50 different reverbs to actualize your aesthetic form, you need maybe 1-3 that you challenge yourself to learn how to maximize the hell out of them.

You do not need to buy any more gear in order to sharpen your instincts when it comes to your musical brain and bones, in fact you will learn more about yourself as a composer and producer when you use less.

Your sound shouldn’t require Ableton or a Eurorack by default. These tools are the limbs and organs of your compositional body, necessary but secondary to your aesthetic form that acts as the brain and bones. Aesthetic form doesn’t necessarily imply specific tools.

If you attempt to allow tech to be the sole driving factor of your compositional voice, you will hit the brick wall of writers block sooner than you think. It has to come from within, you gotta envision it first, then find the necessary tech to actualize it, not the other way around.

You have options paralysis in the studio as a result of an endless marketplace of music tech devices at your disposal and the pressure to not just maximize what you already have.

Oh, trouble'll soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Oh, trouble'll soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Well, Christ is my burden bearer, He's my only friend
Till the end of my sorrow and tells me to lean on Him

I am a one man music school. It is exhausting but I am good at it. Your participation and support are what makes it happen. You can still sign up for the Field Recording Field Trip and listen to today’s lecture to catch up.

Whenever I see a new nonprofit venue or art space start to pop off in a large post-industrial space in a gentrifying area of New York City.

The reporter asked Mamdani if he still stands by his comment saying Trump is a fascist, and before Mamdani could answer, Trump said, "That's okay, you can just say yes... It's easier than explaining it."
