I went on Facebook today and it was like a big hallucinated cartoon. I can't tell what's real. Give me a brisk walk in the cold.

Just got our application in in time!
Last day to apply to be part of NXNE so go! #ontario #music #musicfestival #livemusic #nxne #nye2024 #Canada

Now it's time to get to know artists and musicians and photographers and designers and recording engineers and film makers and videographers. Integrity is free and rewarding. Go the extra mile. Hand make anything you can. Just do it. It's so much interesting. #artistsky #musicsky #creative #AI #noai

No. I was. They were being themselves.

Nirvana, Pearl jam. Absolute cringe. So glad I'm an adult.

This was low-key amazing. A bunch of bands and artists all selling their merch at Musiikki Café. See you all in the spring. #Ontario #Kingston #musicsky #bands #artists #canadarecords #indie #alt

We have SOUND! After months waiting on permits and working in chaos, my ADHD brain was ready to give up so many times. But I pushed through, learned drywalling and framing, and somehow turned it into a real studio. It feels alive now, and I’m so ready to make music again.

Look what we could do without AI a quarter of a century ago. #music #throwback #fatboyslim #crazyvideo

I think nowadays we need to prove ourselves with performance rather than editing. Click makes it easy to edit, cut paste duplicate move around. That's a power move by the producer (myself included)
"Just listen to what I've done with your song, I fixed it"
Rather "Listen to how good you sound"

One rule I'm applying to #BlueSky and life in general: post / say less negative stuff. I need a place where I can just be myself and forget the bubble I have been trapped in. #Facebook can be a memory. #archive thanks Hank! #hankgreen oh and: Musicians will become magicians again in an AI world.

How does this work? I'm pretty new to BS (not so new to BS) I am trying to undermine the current music industry but it's hard. Where's people who just want to hear passion? 20 years in the industry and I have to say that computers are... Useful. No more no less. You need real people & relationships

Back in school we used to put this on every Sunday morning without fail instant hangover cure for the strong of liver. #studentdays

Every rock band needs to have at least one song where the snare is on every beat.

Next time you're a band going into the studio and you're tight. And it's all set up. Say NO to click track. Just trust your rhythm section. If your engineer refuses, call me.

Obviously there are exceptions

Flight b741 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard · Album · 2024 · 10 songs

Working at Roswell Rehearsals in Kingston tonight. The band next door is slaying, but it's through 3 walls so I'm checking out the new King Gizzard album and everything is ok.. Some glorious jams on this. Rick and roll is in Australia right now.. Damn. #musicsky #kinggizz #Kingston #rehearsals #band

Everyone should be quiet near a little stream and listen

I highly recommend stopping doing what you're doing going home if you're not already there smoking a joint and listening to this with your eyes closed forgetting everything you ever knew about music and music theory. What are those colors?
#AI can't do this. #musicsky #microtonal #music #classical

Progress!
The third studio I've built is finally make ready for sound absorption!
I hope to make lots of music with l lots of people in ok Ontario.
If you're amazing, it could be recorded for free and be released through Canada Records.

Has melody become less important in modern music? Is this a natural evolution in how we explore sound, or are we losing something essential? What role do you think melody plays in the future of music?

Whilst not my normal cup of tea, this is absolutely refreshing to see something angry and entertaining and rebellious on TV for a change.

One fun thing about music theory is you can just make stuff up if you run out of words for things. I don't take music seriously, it's serious fun but why not just make stuff up?!
