The actual world situation reminds me of Ferengi's Rules of Adquisition 34 (War is good for business) and 35 (Peace is good for business) but I think they got it wrong.

They should have written "War is bad for business" and "Peace is bad for busniess" because is actually the switch between them where the real profit resides.

I didn't watch this movie and at this point I just don't want to. I don't want to know what the contestant said cause this monologue is a whole story in itself and it won't ever match what I can imagine.

The Ultimate Insult - May God Have Mercy On Your Soul - Billy Madison (Academic Decathlon)

Last night I went to a jam session and several people asked me for my Instagram account to tag me on videos or to follow me witch I happily told them that I don't have.

Being a musician kind of forces you to have presence online on those plattforms where most people are but I really don't feel the need to be on a plattform I despiste and I really don't care much about the exposure. I don't need a million followers, I just like to do creative stuff because it makes me happy.

Here's a little art experiment of endless music I did for fun a while ago with #Wwise and #UnrealEngine

I recorded some drums and stuff that could work together independently of their order and designed some rules to randomize them, giving more probabilities to some notes and instruments. Then I linked the volume of each channel to different colored lights illuminating the painting 'Last Judgment and the Seven Deadly Sins' by Jacob van Swanenburg.

Last Judgment and the Seven Deadly Sins by Drumchord

A little music experiment / Neverending music generator - NO AI

itch.io

I'm seeing that a lot of bands use AI to make videos or images for videos and now I have a new rule for myself:

If you use AI to generate any artistic/creative material to promote your self-made artistic/creative thing I'm not going to your concerts or buy your merch or pay any attention to whatever the fuck you create. If you don't respect another artistic fields I won't respect your craft.

Adventure Game Studio is not -by far- a powerful or a versatile game engine but I have to say it has one of the best communities out there. Thanks to their help I was able to implement in my game an auto-pan randomized step sound system that works like a charm. I know almost no one will ever appreciate it or even notice it but just the enjoyment of the process makes it totally worth it.

Here's a link with the solution if you need it:

But yeah, lets take all of that out of the process because the true purpose of music is to make records as easy and fast as possible, right? Is like saying that the true purpose of philosophy is to sell books.

"...and when everyone's super....no one will be".

3/4

While creating music the most joyful moments are the ones when you find THAT melody, riff or arrangement that makes you feel like you just discover fire. While playing with bands you learn to work creatively with other minds and develop social skills and the connection you get with another human being just by playing together cannot be expressed with words.

2/4

When I think about the greatest things I've got from learning and making music is actually the process. While learning you face your limitations and fight them; you develop patience, perseverance and endurance against frustration and you feel awesome when you finally beat them.
