A little listening for the weekend: My favourite polish musician just released a new album. While I’m influenced by many musicians this is the only one that has single handedly got me to specifically make music that was inspired by them.
Earth Trax!

My metalcore(ish) project just released our new single The Labyrinth Legacy.
Experimenting with a few things for this one and trying to keep it interesting.
I do love that Latin beat :)

Very interested to hear what people think about this, been working on my mixing / mastering and production, but this one was a slog. :)

I remember hearing it for the fist time walking down Birchfields road, Manchester in early 2000s. Seared in my mind.

I have only recently become consciously aware of how much the electronic breakdown in AFIs “Death Of Seasons” has influenced me and shaped my hard rock / metal production.
Seems four to the floor distorted 909 kick with driving synth bass is my musical kink.

The advantage of being musician, producer, mixer and masterer on a song, is that executive decisions can be made very quickly.
The downside is the constant bickering. #Music #MusicProduction

Oh yes! A new season of Alice isn’t dead? That’s something I never thought I’d get to say. I loved that story. If you’ve not listened to it in the past, I would recommend it. It’s amazing.

I just realised I forgot to post my latest #metalcore release.
YouTube https://youtu.be/V2b7_gGJJzk
Streaming: https://linktr.ee/conjoiners
This one I really focused on the mixing & mastering and trying to get it sound ok next to professional releases.
It was time consuming but interesting! I’m not there yet, but was definitely better than last effort.
Had to really work the kick to get a sound I was “happy” with (some reverb on the kick stack seemed to do the trick).
I think smashed it too hard with the limiter so streaming services turn it down a bit after the breakdown. Oh well, lesson learned.
Constructive feedback welcome!

I liked this video so much. It communicated my thoughts more clearly than I have been able to. It also helped me reflect on why I’m ok using “AI” for summarising meeting minutes, or random meme stuff, but hate the idea of using it anywhere near my music or album artwork etc.
Even if my music or drawing sucks, at least I experienced and learned from the journey.

@npub1lcc…lcye have you heard anything about Brussels airlines? I’ve been calling for the last few days and they have been having “technical issues” that “should be solved in the next half hour” since I started calling.

Finally managed to get a new metal(core?) song out. Took long enough 😅. Been a while since I started the journey but starting to experiment with filters and synths!
There’s even a video to go with it!

Red bull will look properly foolish either way here. Either Tsunoda can drive it, in which case why the hell not do that from the start rather than chancing Lawson, or he can’t, in which case what the hell are they doing?

“She chose down!?” “She chose down!” Ok well, I had to take the photo looking up …. The escalators at #Vijzelgracht #Amsterdam .
For me photography is about the journey not the destination. Unlike that journey which was very much about the destination and getting rid of some heavy, heavy bags.

It’s been a fair bit of work, and now I finished my first electronic EP! Quite a departure from what I usually do. This one was inspired by Earth Trax, Yagya and “88.9 pacific dreams” radio from cyberpunk 2077.
I enjoyed the journey of making it, I hope you enjoy listening!

oh. This particular music does not need to be loud as it’s more sort of dub techno, but it would suck if it’s way quieter. I’ve not used the link you gave me yet, but will soon. Is there a way to see what the song would sound like in the streaming service and then reload / correct if needed?

2025-01-12 19:28:04 UTC

interesting. I’m just mastering my first set of tracks for a 4 song EP now and was using the 14 LUFS as a guide. It sounds fine like that though so I’m not really worried about it but presumably I shouldn’t just turn around and squash it with the limiter either?

Also, I love that fab filter is pay and own rather than subscription!
Q3 doesn’t stop working because q 4 exists. They just added innovation so that you are incentivised to upgrade as the product is offering you something you want.
More software should do this. Just like the old days :)

it’s a fascinating look into mental health and workplace dynamics.
Obviously the tech is a big part of it and can’t be split out but seeing what a huge impact a mindset can play in success and how red bull handle it and which bits they make public is just so interesting.

I look for “change” every 5, but that could also be rotation, new responsibilities and roles etc. Up is not the only way and it can depend on personal circumstances?
Is success getting to the top? Or enjoying the trip?
I don’t know. What one ties their own value to is quite personal I think.
People often mix progression with promotion. And one may find promotion less fulfilling than a new technical challenge.

well that sucks.
I don’t engage much on “the internet “ but occasionally I do sometimes get replies and it’s astounding how often people are just rude.
I will (probably internally) judge people if they are “being an ass”, but I just really don’t get why anyone cares about other people’s preferences for frankly irrelevant things to my life.
Maybe I don’t have a preference for “XYZ” or whatever but as long as you’re not hurting anyone I really have more important things to worry about.
If you like something different to me, I’m interested to know why! Maybe I missed something? Maybe I didn’t but it’s always cool to have insight into people’s other passions.

I wonder how much of the McLaren situation and Piastri’s bold but unwise overtake on lap one is related to Mark Webber being his manager?
Webber never came back from “Multi 21” so is he telling Piastri to fight like hell not to let it happen to him?
