^ note that i am NOT a genuine tinhatter and all rpf-style things i say are firmly in the realm of fiction, even if i like to talk like i believe it irl ultimately i respect that i don’t know these people and it’s not my place to make genuine assumptions about their personal lives

we've sent 2,500 senior dogs to a six week Javascript bootcamp using the funds we raised from our ransomware operation. and that's just the beginning. starting next month every fruit will be different
It probably is kind of fun to be a parent bird and find big fat bugs to put in your child’s goalpost mouth. And the more you do it the larger your baby gets, which shows your progress. Mine is reaally big, think I’m going to get a high score this time. It has a unique skin too, I’ve never even seen this one before. Has anyone gotten that one, dark brown and white belly with stripes? It’s not even in my Wrenpedia, it has to be a really special unlock
i've been in jay transcript land these past couple days (my already existing love for all editors across the world has only strengthened tenfold) from this x interview where he talks about his experience scoring for the kid detective, blackberry and everything in-between.
if there's any egregious spelling/grammar mistakes please just avert your eyes and pretend they do not exist. i highlighted a couple parts of what he said that i found interesting/i thought others might as well, so yeah. i also have a couple notes at the end of this post. yay :)
firstly, would like to say a delightful amount of likes, ums, kind/sort ofs, and so's have been removed. not all, but most were removed for your reading pleasure. i was gonna leave them in at first but it came to a point where it just did not make grammatical sense to do so.
i also would like to call attention to jay's trombone noises he makes. very silly :))
secondly, i guess the main thing, is that it is really nice seeing jay be very open about his struggles. he talks quite a bit about how isolating of an experience it is/can be, which makes so much sense with how niche his specialty really is, and also the fact that like it's really just a process of throwing darts at the board until you get it right. (i also found it interesting and makes sense that he shares a lot of the similar creative struggles that matt does, i.e. starting a project in the beginning/not making good on timing and then describing the process as a mountain to climb and coming out "bloody and bashed" which does feel like jay's equivalent to matt's "making a movie is incredibly and only awful/painful.")
third, i had not listened to the kid detective score prior to reading this, but went to listen to the song he repeatedly references which is called willoughbrook then. i definitely hear the romantic tones he was going for, it feels like a classic detective noir sound in the beginning but then warms up and the flute comes in and i would agree it is quite whimsical jay.
fourth, the part where he talks about matt being like mike from blackberry is sooo good. matt's already talked about how working on that movie was like his own psyche being split into 3 but hearing it from jay is pretty forward about it. this also gets into a really interesting thing how matt and jay have so many different aspects of their dynamic because in other areas they're like co-tackling the task at hand, and really with ntbts they're like co-conspirators and at the epicenter of it, but when it comes to the score that's specifically the one time that jay is like providing a service to matt? idk how to articulate it better but it's like there's a higher standard there for jay to deliver something really good, whereas in other aspects of production it might be a collaborative process of tackling the script, storyboarding, etc.
fifth, jay really talks about how scoring for him is very director-centric and majorly about understanding the movie as opposed to the music itself. this is like load-bearing jay framework to me. i really enjoyed reading "...clarity that you need to have, as just a filmmaker, or at least seeing virtually through the eyes of the filmmaker of the film. That’s what it’s all about. It’s seeing the subtext and seeing the opportunities to help support and push the narrative and emotional points of the movie that it’s trying to do." like yes!!!! yep!
okay that's all i got. i also thought it was very cool to hear a little bit about how Operation Avalanche was scored with that jazz band. Ooh! Also, before I forget Ann Phung is the same flutist who worked on Hungover Still for the live Brave Shores album and she kills it! She's AWESOME!!
me in the world where i have an ipad: check out how much porn i can put on this ipad
