https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE6NZ4bsmow post something you've made
listened to your album. overall I did enjoy it... i've listened to a few of these sorts of lo-fi homebrew projects over the years and this is definitely in the top half. vaguely irritating and surprisingly vibey by alternate turns. choice track: beer.and.kerosene
>>268 Thanks, I appreciate it! A big part of it was having undiagnosed ADHD and not knowing what the fuck was wrong with me. Currently working on the next album Appreciate the choice track too, a lot of people I showed it to irl liked songs that were more fun like twizzlers. I think my biggest fuckup was thx,despair because I really blundered some of the lyrics and delivery
>>280 So I listened again to most of the album today. And it definitely grew on me. And yeah I really like beer.and.kerosene, reminds me of Panchiko, and really evokes (to me) that feeling of being at a party and feeling the need to 'perform', to be the life and soul, even if you're not feeling it at all.

>>267 (OP) Very Gesamtkunstwerk, this is impressive (and I'm surprised there is not more of this type of art now that the means of art production are in the hands of everyone).
>>267 (OP) >>280 Wow that's super cool, I'm stoked for your next album, I especially like the visuals, interested in how you made them https://moth11.net/design/superabundance/ here are (currently) 2 (i hope i can make more) zines i made. i think the second one is maybe better but i'm too afraid to look at them again lest i die of cringe
>>826 Thank you :) Old hard drive failed so I unfortunately don't have any scrapped visuals I can show you. SWIM made everything in pirated photoshop, premier pro and after effects. The visuals without filming were made by generating shapes and then fucking with the filters till I liked it. The ones with film were also me fucking with filters. Lots of chroma key, sharpen, color shift. Camera limitations involved the aspect ratio and only being able to film in 60 second increments. Before I filmed I thumbnailed out all my ideas, but I few of them were scrapped mid filming and we improvised. I used Avidemux to datamosh for frogz, space.jammin.pt1, and wobble.wobble. Ancient and shitty program but I couldn't get anything else to work. Let me know if you have any questions! Bookmarked your site! Read through the first zine and I liked a lot of the visual design. The chromatic aberration was done quite tastefully and I really love how the cream/black/red work together. >twitchy, agitated interpassivity, an inability to concentrate or focus... >Literally me Well, you said what I was going to! Ska fact: Why isn't streetlight manifesto ska? Because they actually sound good!

>>1083 Yes! Currently working on the second album. It's impossible to say how far I'm done since constantly the themes and the sounds are changing and it's terrifying to cement them in place because they need to be absolutely perfect or everything is fucked I have two folders of songs, one being songs I'm almost certain will end up on the album, the other being songs that are completely experimental/just me fucking around and are consequently dogshit half the time. No idea what to do with them yet. Here's an example of an experimental one: https://voca.ro/1ljv4A61SDd2 Also finally got a camera (ricoh caplio r6) that's perfect and started recording footage. See attached photo.
Petrarchan #1 ------------- Her reddened cheeks are not the red of roses. Her bluish eyes say nothing of the sea. From earth and ocean came she not to me. I breathe her incandescence as she dozes. Her body is a problem that she poses— Her arching back is sheer geometry. Her thighs disclose the way to solve for c. I breathe my ragged song and she transposes. At midday we are like two novice ramblers Who've hiked a path that neither had foreknown And reached the fork at which they must depart. A natural resolution, without sadness. Yet later as I face the night alone A violet bruise does blossom on my heart.
It's giving Lenin
Thanks friend. It's a self portrait so if you happen to see someone who looks like that on the street, be sure to say hello :)
