i love being a musician/writer in the internet era mainly because i can easily look up how to do big band jazz arrangement, play guitar in a surf rock style, coltrane changes, or whatever else im interested in playing and maybe even adding to my own work if i have a good spot for it

we really need to keep building, but more importantly USING, indie/DIY/whatever you wanna call it media. For news, art, everything. Support what's there, build your own thing. Between the fascists and the gen AI slop world (also the fascists actually) we're going to lose our minds without good media

im trying to use a lot less obvious tape sim on my goofing around the past few days cause i wanna be more hi-fi but it makes my head hurt quicker cause my ears are so sensitive to something thats too crisp i think
it is fun though, its less forgiving but the extra detail when sound designing is fun

I hate GenAI too but your attempts at litigating the reasons for why something is or is not "art" are getting long-established artforms caught in the crossfire. I've seen takes that would exclude math, fractal, curatorial, accidental, found, generative (non-AI), glitch, and even tablet-drawn art.

if you download soulseek and musicbee and take the money you were spending every month on spotify premium and spend it on an artist's bandcamp or buying their merch at a show you will have contributed significantly more to supporting the music you love than streaming them on spotify ever would
The UX on piracy has never been better than today.
Plexamp is a significantly better music player than Spotify, it gives YOU control of your algorithmic picks instead of letting a company with a history of being cheap shady and shitty choose what you'll listen to next.
