re: knxwledge, I just wish ppl valued instrumental music the way they value music w vocals/lyrics. I still can’t really wrap my head around why instrumental music/production is often treated like a second class citizen as if it’s not the backbone of everything we listen to ?

one of my favorite things about teaching ableton is when I get students who've never produced and they make the absolute wildest genre-less shit I've ever heard because they literally have no references in electronic music

It still amazes me how people feel so superior playing instruments vs chopping samples. As someone who was trained in classical music & composition, I’ll be the first to tell you: sampling is a SKILL and it deserves to be respected. Gtfo with that purist attitude 🚴🏼💨💨💨

the unhinged producer urge to make bass music, house beats, Phoebe Bridgers-type sad girl ballads, instrumental hip hop, indie funk pop, experimental modular music, attempted jazz, gnar noise, city pop, ambient acoustic soundscapes, and try to make it make sense in one project

Looking forward to the day that pages that are named like “producingforwomen” or “girls make music” can be just as obsolete as the term “female producer”. Can’t wait until the playing field is just naturally diverse and we don’t have to focus on identity instead of the music 🙃

This might be a stoner thought but the concept of MIDI is actually so crazy. Can you imagine being around when they announced what MIDI was? And not even fully registering what it could actually do moving forward?? Gosh.

If you're ever wondering about musicians' sex lives, don't worry, we're all getting fucked regularly
Spotify will now give your music an algorithmic boost in exchange for a lowered “promotional recording royalty rate.”

The music industry is not kind. It’s a beautiful thing to be an artist & be celebrated for one’s passion, but over & over again I keep seeing peers of mine spiral into consistent bouts of stress & depression because it is so unbelievably hard to keep commodifying your own art.

Learning how to master your own tracks is such a good skill to have because a) it trains your mixing ear like CRAZY and b) it's cheaper lol

I think there might actually be a hard limit to how far a DIY artist can operate by themselves. Like, wearing multiple hats is hard, exhausting, distracting and stressful. We idolize ppl who do so much all alone but we should equally idolize ppl who have happy & passionate teams.

As someone who used to do violin competitions as a kid, I gotta say, having kids work really fucking hard just to be judged by adults they don’t know in a subjective art form is super weird and something I would never make my own students do.
