Recently I've been trying to avoid being on the computer at all due to the onset of carpal tunnel affecting my right hand, wrist, and forearm. Tonight however, I was for some reason motivated to spend all of my time after work writing and recording the bass line for a song that I've been close to finishing for a while now. After polishing the mix to my best ability, I think I'm pleased with what I ended up with, but I'm definitely feeling the pain from over-doing it. As the title says, is about depression, as well as the feelings of social anxiety and loneliness that can be overwhelming at times. I know it's certainly not going to be the cup of tea that most people here prefer to drink, but I hope some of you may be able to relate to it and perhaps get something out of it. |

Hey LLC! The song Dreams about Love is really good! I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass, I really like it. It's a misty Friday before work here and supposed to be in the 90s all weekend. Anyways....lol. it's really good. Do you have other songs? Depression and anxiety are no fun, keep writing beautiful songs or writing or getting outaide. Again, recycle really likes the cup of tea you have served and wants to drink more :) ♡thad |

Thanks for the input guys! I posted this right before going to sleep, and I'm just now on my first break at work, so I apologize for the delay. I know a lot of the music that I write may not appeal to the idm crowd, though a lot of the classics in afx, boc, squarepusher, ae, etc. have been a very important part of my musical experience over the years. I know that the sound I am coming to develop may not wholly reflect this fact, but these days I find it easier to write in a softer, more downtempo style. I think a large part of this stems from the severe tinnitus that I developed some 5 years ago due to excessive loud music both at concerts (with no earplugs of course) and with headphones at work. I do enjoy hearing other people's opinions though, perhaps especially when I know it's not what they would normally listen to. As for your question recycle, I do have another recent track called that I posted here a little while back. It was written after I ended my relationship with my first live-in girlfriend of 3 years. Thanks again for all the comments, and if my music can possibly provide some level of comfort to even a single person, it's worth it to me to share it. |

Lyrics aside it’s a pretty chill sounding depression. Sunset, cocktail, beach... |

Haha, thanks Russell. I appreciate the feedback, and you're not the first person to say something along those lines to me. I also wanted to say that I really don't mind criticism of any sort, and contrary to what others may think, I am glad for your input mohamed. Obviously not everyone is going to be keen on everything or even anything that I write and produce. Of course I hope to reach some people on an emotional level, but I certainly don't *expect* it. If you're actually taking the time to listen and give your honest opinion, that's fantastic! That's really more than I can ask of anyone, so I don't think that someone not getting the same emotional response from the music as I put into creating it is in any way unusual or offensive. I would much rather get an honest reaction than a false one, or none at all. So thank you for your input too mohamed, and thanks to belb and signeduptoLOL as well. Sorry for making you depressed, but I'm glad you could feel something all the same! 😅 |

Believe me, I'm absolutely terrified of carpal tunnel. I'm a week into wearing this wrist splint, but I'm not sure how effective it's actually going to be. I'm still in the beginning stages, so I'm hoping I can recover without the need for surgery, but it's hard to tell at this point. I've spent so much time using the computer for anything from games, to reddit, to doing my best impression of a producer. Add in the hours I put into practicing guitar (I have some much more complex material that I need to practice A LOT to be able to record it) and I clearly didn't spend enough time stretching and relaxing my wrists. The thought of not being able to play guitar or write and produce music anymore is INCREDIBLY depressing, and I've actually just come home from work some days and just slept until it was time to get up for work again the next day. It's going to be rough if this continues to get worse, which I have a really bad feeling that it will... |

health is the top priority |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
just kill the fucking impression as a producer, straight away, then you will improve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I know health is definitely the #1 priority. It's just hard to stay away from the computer or guitar in any capacity, especially when I have so much stuff I want to work on. Honestly it's just hard to find other things to do to occupy my time when I want to be doing the things I love and am so used to doing. And I know I'm not any sort of gifted producer by any means, but I am trying to improve. I have a shitload to learn, and it sucks taking time away from that. |

bullshit, your capacity as a producer levels with your personal experiences. everyone finds a way. |
