TORLEY

I became acutely aware I indulge in stacking harmony as much as some people lay on the hot sauce. When you’re all-in as a flavor aficionado, nothing’s gonna stop those taste buds. It feels magic when you’ve got a thin track and that bass starts grilling, filling out the burger.

When I was little, my dream job was “businessman” — inspired by dad, diligent salarymen, and cyberpunk megacorps. I roleplayed in pa’s suits with an oversized briefcase.

The VeloGlow multis in RMS Nightglow for Omnisphere 3 are superbly scintillating! They SPARKLE 🌃 ✨ when you play drifting chords, as you can hear here... gives it a wistful introspection a la Vangelis' Blade Runner.

I like evolving loops in music, because they’re a metaphor for making things better each cycle. A lot might seem the same, but there are subtle differences that deserve attention and iteration.

We're in bizarro world where people accuse "it's AI" when it's human-made, and missing the opposite. The fact most people are bad at detecting AI (and it's getting worse) speaks highly of our mortal frailty. We "I'm a human" CAPTCHAs where u goof in ways no robot could. 😜 🤖

I have a hard time restricting myself to any one “scene”, or even making music that fits squarely in an established format — so I identify with baskets of ‘em. When I draw from what I’ve learned, it’s like investing in a diversified index fund for music genres/styles/vibes.

We'll come across a truly alien species that simply can't relate to metonymy + synecdoche, and while efficiency-driven, have no use for reducing things to parts. There are no generationalizations. Thus, stereotypes are as foreign to them as they are natural to humans.

"Fan Service"
aka the creative joy of misremembered basics

I reckon we’ll see the rise of “Megacorp In A Box” (MIAB) turnkey solutions, where a minimum number of people paired with roguish AI is viable to achieve cyberpunk fantasies.

"Creative block" is often an excuse for being afraid to make something true to you because of what others will think. You should make it anyway — you just might change their mind in doing so.

Ever notice how often being "creative" simply means exploring a curiosity to its furthest extent?

"THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE!" -Villanelle

At some point as a creative, you’ll hit a technical density ceiling — so beyond that, it’s like “Well what can I say now that no one else is expressing?”

Pick three small things that repeatedly annoy you, and spend a dedicated block of time fixing them tomorrow. Reducing friction really multiplies over a few months.

More than sometimes, being “decisionless” and falling into whatever you come upon next is the best decision after all.

Preparation sets you up so you can improvise and adapt to environmental surprises.

Vangelis, Burial, and Zach Cregger believe in not overthinking creativity and going with it!

As Cregger sez: “… it just felt right. It was just
one of those things. I really try not to think about anything when I'm writing. I don't want to intellectualize anything.”

It’s natural to huff your cat when they smell of funnel cake or other cozy confections.

Augmented Choirs | For V by Torley UVI - Sound Without Limits Developer of software instruments, effects and soundware, leveraging leading-edge research and design to create unique, expressive tools for musicians and audio professional

soundcloud.com/uvi-official...

"For V" w/robochoral fragility, a neo-baroque requiem about two+ months in another world.

Delamain: "We all lap up the last of our fuel eventually. But that hardly means the journey wasn’t a joy."

Electronically produced with UVI's Augmented Choirs.

I’ve a pet peeve for portmanteaus that don’t flow smoothly.

If there's ever an open-world game based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga, a New Game+ mode would absolutely make sense — think about it.

If you’re going to play a melody, go all out — don’t just paint vague contours, get to the heart of the matter and exponentiate catchiness, reinforced with boldly complementing chord progressions. Then, season with glitchy dust and call it a day. 😅

You know what else is fungible? Mushrooms!
