The Second Death
Is being remembered after you pass important to you? If so, what kind of imprint/legacy would you leave in the world?

If I make impact that creates a meaningful, positive legacy, then sure. But I’m likely not going to achieve that, so I don’t think about that. I think about how to make a meaningful, positive impact in my daily, ordinary life.

I'm curious how many of you guys are software engineers.

@Marko Tunjic that’s really interesting stuff you’re working on.
Why You Don’t Need Social Media To Succeed In Music
Just uploaded a new video breaking down why social media isn’t the make-or-break factor for a successful music career. In this one, I dive into: • How I’ve achieved 70M streams without obsessing over Instagram or TikTok • Why ads and playlisting can be way more effective than endless posting • The bigger question: Why are you making music in the first place? 🤔 If you’ve ever felt burnt out trying to “play the game,” this one’s for you. Let me know your thoughts after watching - what you think about my take? ⬇️

@Lex Christopherson any kind of success making music, let alone house and techno, is an achievement and you SHOULD feel proud.

@Lex Christopherson I have not achieved your kind of success. I don’t work hard enough at music. But I have had people reach out to me, and tell me that my music actually moved them. That they devoured my few releases immediately and ask me for more. I would say, that in today’s reality, you are doing something very difficult by trying to stay true to your “heart” while being successful enough for financial independence. I keep coming back to this point: we live in an age of disposable, global entertainment. Everything is disposable, actually. My AirPods that I recently bought - battery irreplaceable. Disposable. Fashion, trends. Disposable. The underlying issue is so complex. We can’t really discuss the integrity of music in a vacuum.
WHAT DAW ARE YOU USING AND WHY? 🎶

@Lex Christopherson well, if you listen to Maurizio or Rhythm and Sound dub techno, often the drums are just the kick and hi hat, rim shot. I find that dub techno really needs a “ruthless” minimal approach, because quickly it loses the space, filled with the elements that an actual dub strips back. With dub techno chord work, the echo and tails play a percussive role and play the role of ghost notes, snap backs, turnarounds. Glad you liked it though! It’s zapKick and v9 hat.

@Lex Christopherson thanks my man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Dub techno
I am very influenced by Basic Channel / Maurizio / Rhythm & Sound, the defunct Swedish label SVEK, and deep and hypnotic grooves in general. Here are three tracks, one a WIP and two maybe done(?), that I’m proud of. In:Out https://on.soundcloud.com/fka4zkGR2KJRyJXc9 This track came together by resampling delay lines. I learned to simplify my signal flow and pay special attention to the unique grooves using delays. Then, I continued my resampling approach but sampling two different delay lines, offsetting the sample starts, and sending them back to two delays. I want this track to be some of my best work, so I’m waiting to finish it. Shush https://on.soundcloud.com/CsXt8xYE8WWgmZQC6 A deep, dark track, with organic console style dub feedback on the chords. I realized the importance of distance and space with the sounds, rather my usual maximal sound design. Snug Shadow https://on.soundcloud.com/7oUoj7RwTGzKyvNB9 My first attempt at resampling everything. I learned to embrace sampling and re-arranging to find grooves. The process was sampling multiple passes of Shaperbox. I love the groove but feel it needs something more.

@Javier Dominguez thanks my man. Those sounds are all rendered to samples - I started with a basic synth, sampled, filtered, sampled. Chopped, rearranged, samples. So, it will be hard to make those changes, but I can try to resample and see how it goes.

Discovered house & techno in Tokyo circa 1989. Loopy dubs on Solar Phenomena as VAPNIK and a vinyl on Natural Selections. Always learning & giving.
