every time I sit down at my DAW after hours of procrastination, I wonder to myself "what the Fuck was I doing wasting away on the couch? This rocks"

I then proceed to be upset at exactly 2 bars for the next 5 hours, curse life, lament my abysmal speed, and by the end of it feel creatively satisfied

portuguese is woefully neglected online

no, you see, you can only be a great composer if you destroy your own hands in a manic pursuit of perfection, and then slowly lose your mind because you're terrified of losing your mind

it's in the rulebook of great composers, which I wrote in my treehouse where only boys are allowed

they're hearing the boobies

they're hearing the boobies and they go "eeew boobies" because they're 9 years old and girls aren't allowed in their treehouse

finally a diegetic reason for tenor fioritura: shivering in the cold

in college, I couldn't remember any of the terminology for a Discourse Analysis exam

so for each I substituted a sentence, as if every time to mean "chair" you'd write "object with 4 legs intended for human seating"

passed with a 16/20

had I been a slopper, my brain wouldn't have had the stamina

Nintendo won't use genA| :)
George Miller takes part in an A| film festival :(
DC Comics refuse to support genA| :)

the next few years are just gonna be whiplash, aren't they

earwax

this is *exactly* why I don't trust the taste of any self-professed "educated, thoughtful theatergoer", especially "longtime admirers of broadway"

writing convincing sprechgesang is HARD, and every time I try it my respect for Schoenberg and Berg goes up tenfold

no shit

the music made it obvious

this conversation started on the subject of owning one's taste and standing for one's convictions

you have yours, which is a good thing

I think the value of artistic difference depends entirely on the strength of each of our convictions, with the understanding that they need not cause animosity

you can always learn from something great

and if it's too great to repeat, as most great things are, then the more important and valuable it becomes

even those can teach you what not to do

and of course we impose on it, that's the definition of criticism, it builds our taste and so creates in us an artistic identity

all art is play, self-expression, but that's the departure point. A great work strives to resonate beyond that, and achieves it

a bad film can still teach something, doesn't make it good

I've also seen modest films be better than hollow blockbusters

I've written absolutely terrible music, with maybe one good melody in it. It was still garbage as a whole

sometimes I rescue a good melody from those things for something else

the guitar player analogy doesn't work, meanwhile, because the ability of the guitar player to play well has no bearing on whether the piece of music is good

a film with a star-studded cast, oscar-winning director and writer, and an A-level team behind it all can still be a bad film

certainly, a bad film is still a film

fundamentals are the beginnings of technical expertise, which is expected to be under developedment in the context of student work

beyond that context, technical expertise translates to production quality, which I said does not by itself guarantee a good film

I was helping a friend make a student film

if you're asking about my experience in an artistic medium, I've been a composer for over 20 years

but I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Are you saying that things become recognizable formats for no reason other than repetition?

the social media experiment seems mostly an abject failure by now

we should have never abandoned forums and websites

now we have to watch the social ecosystem in the throes of death, popping out a new pseudotwitter every 5 years with chewing gum and spit

and houses are just houses, but I can have thoughts on why a north-facing bedroom at a high latitude is a bad idea

profoundly allergic to every design decision in it

and I was the digimon fad patient 0 in elementary

granted, it was those digimon tamagotchi that you could link to fight others with, before the anime was made

when pokemon came along I never looked back

and then I dropped pokemon after gold xD

this one's dying too? What happened this time?

I can certainly get behind the idea that even bad movies are an opportunity to learn something, but I'm not sure if that's part of what you're getting at

one can wish to be that lucky!

hell, I've been in one xD

I understand your point, but production quality alone does not make a good film

there are plenty of terrible films out there that are fantastically well produced

anything that makes it to a theater convinced some suits that it was worth putting in a theater

that fact does not inherently speak of its quality

this madness must be ent
