Two reasons I love Chinese hipster music

Harp chords: to get clusters that are otherwise impossible on guitar, fret way up on the low strings and leave the high strings open.

I wrote out the chords to this cool tune, "Adriatica" by Opez. Stylistically it's an instrumental rock reboot of corny Italian pop from the 60s.

Harmonically it's a IV major chord used as if it was a I chord, so you get to play lydian mode.

What's the learning curve on Ableton like? I want to make beats on my laptop instead of the iPad and drawing automations in Logic is the opposite of flow.

Also, take a bath before doing a sound bath.
Last thing you always do before hanging out with noise musicians is shower so you won't have to later

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

The Spotify algorithm has slowly but surely decided to recommend "For My Wife After We Had a Fight On Our Anniversary". I have such a feeling of relief to have the algorithm on my side.

I'm fascinated by the way this new track from Bill Frisell + Thomas Morgan slowly dissolves, eventually melting into goop like a mud house in a storm.
