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.

Posting old halloween comics, #2
![A comic from 2022 I think, Halloween week - here's the script:
The scene is a darkened woods, at night. All is depicted in dingy blues and purples. In a lonely moonlit clearing we see a CABIN. its windows are dark, clearly unoccupied. A lone figure runs towards it, from the trees. Closer in on them now - we see they are terrified. The race for the door of the cabin, desperately trying to enter. They rattle the door, frantically. It is locked. They look behind them. We see the darkened, black trees of the woods. In amongst the forest, we see the black silhouette of a figure. It walks closer. Closer still. Closer - and now we see it is holding a chainsaw. It emerges into the light, slowly the shadow lifts from its face. It is wearing a mask. The victim silently screams in a rictus of horror. This can't be happening, no, no, no. Closer, closer now it lifts the chainsaw high above its head as it speaks:
MURDERER:
This murder is brought to you by MeUndies.
VICTIM:
What?
MURDERER:
If you're like me you'd kill for comfortable underwear -
VICTIM:
Sorry -
VICTIM:
Are you...
doing a *podcast*?
MURDERER:
I knoooww...
It's such a cliché
Everybody's got one these days!
VICTIM:
But I thought you were trying to murder me?
MURDERER:
Indeed! I'm a true crime podcaster driven mad by having to change gear between horrific human tragedy and adverts for MeUndies.
MURDERER:
So just tap in offer code I'M BEING MURDERED with your bloodied, trembling hand for 20% off some pants!
MURDERER:
Now, back to the murder-
[he revs up his chainsaw again]

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.
