@unknownpseudoartist so im inclined to scold you for all your self-deprecation but then i would be a hypocrite. but i do like this part:

"Basically this is that kind of music you'd expect to find in a random MySpace or Soundclick profile in the 2000s. That kind of thing you'd get 128k MP3 downloads in a static HTML site. That kind of stuff that would normally be done by some passionate young person who just discovered they can do cool stuff to share online in a cyberworld full of people willing to discover and listen more random, creepy stuff like this. "

and i think you'll find plenty of company around here. especially as a #caturday-er.

anyways, you do a really good job with bass sounds. the overall tonal quality and just getting bass synth sounds. often times better than actual bass guitar but let's not awaken the bassists, right? i aint tryna die right before the weekend.
favorite track on the placeholder of something... i think gotta be absurd. ill check out the other album after this last listen.

@benda hey thanks a lot for listening! this means a lot to me (even if I don't agree with my fake bass sounding any better than real bass haha)

Regarding the self-deprecant comments... well, it's complicated, but let's say I was in a bad time and dealing with a bad situation in certain communities regarding harsh criticism and I was tired of that, and just felt the need to break with that and go more my way without any pressure. Feeling a lot better about that already, so no worries :)

@unknownpseudoartist thats good to hear. theres a lot of pressure from our economic and societal systems to make the creation of art something that turns a profit, or needing to be a certain amount of prolific. all nonsense. the point of making art is the part where you are making it. that journey, that mindset. the best therapy, imho (or at least thats what i keep telling myself bc hell no i;m not paying for therapy lol).

@benda heck yeah! Couldn't agree more. In fact sometimes it's not even about economic stuff but more like some folks pretending to be Yngwie Malsteen (even when Yngwie seems to be not that arrongant anymore haha), or obsessing on production/mixing (which can be kinda elitistic, since oftentimes that's more a matter of money and expensive tools rather than simply doing stuff). Art should be more about having fun and expressing things, not about bratting or obsessing on getting better at it!

@unknownpseudoartist lost or at least buried by all the gloss and shine of the corporate internet.
there seems to still be a decent amount out there, you jut got a dig for it a little. like the artists we have here on the fedi, and all the artists @hello

@benda @hello yeah, that's my suspiction. After all, you wouldn't expect a random artist with 20 views/listens to get noticed by the algorhythms, right? It's a huge relief to find a place where that couldn't matter less :) in fact I'm kinda overwhelmed by the lots of messages I got all of a sudden when I posted that post the other day haha

@unknownpseudoartist well then it looks like you got what you asked for lol

@benda totally! I'm glad I decided to jump into this place. There's a vibe that reminds to that late 2000s internet (like forums and blogs) in cultural/entertainment terms while keeping up with the times for the more important stuff (like ethics, diversity, etc). So it's like combining the best of both old and current times without the bad of neither :)

@unknownpseudoartist wholeheartedly agree :)
