you made me so why do you hate me
why do you care if i split the skin you gave me
you brought me here, so let me disappear

Shark eyed, up at night.
No sleep, paralyzed.
Beds cold, lungs are white.
Ghostly, crystallized
Skin just, don't feel right.
Slow decent, couldn't fight.
Bleeding, outside the lines.
Overgrown, flowers die.
Crack the code.
Let me know.
No way out.
Underground.
Stars and clouds.
Falling now.
Dissociate, there's no escape.
Light and sound, still earthbound.
...The illusion we call time.
...The delusion we're alive.
Ink stains, a paper sky.
And illuminates our minds
And I'm not asking you to agree,
Just to consider the possibility.
That we're not free.
Yeah they call me sick, call me diseased.
They pry my mouth and feed me blues and greens.
Ill-conceived.
Crack the code.
Let me know.
Break an oath,
let me know.
No Way Out

'bored'. demo
specialise in a vibe, not a genre
"it's not how good it sounds, it's how it makes you feel."
"when you play it back, all you hear is a good song."
-18 rule
"the song will tell you what it needs, don't force ideas."
refinment over time - mix whole song as quick as possible before zooming in and perfecting details
take short breaks often. [to avoid ear fatigue]
Feedback loops with guitar
idea:
using guitar loop pedal as tape machine, use extra pedals to play with the feedback, play through logic
Unsettling Soundscapes
Making noise and noise devices to make noise with.
Recording Drums
Reduced Listening:
'Sound for Sounds sake'.
Separating the sound from the source context.
Active listening, not passive hearing.
Acousmatic:
Not being distracted by visuals cues. [Pythagoras]
"Referring to a sound that one hearts without seeing the causes behind it."
"The loudspeaker is the performer."
Can allow us to address material in an objective manner.
Sound Object - Schaeffer
Isolating sound from audio/visual relationship.
Tones, not performer.
