Hard to hear your voices with the music blaring so loudly

Brilliant conversation. I’m only 10 minutes in and loving it. Would definitely watch more of this type. Wow. What a destination.

I’m fully into this psychedelic direction. Very nice to listen and think at this pace. The only production thing I wanted was maybe voice mix could be slightly higher sometimes. Trackspacer is great for sidechaining to let voice cut through music stem. Some thoughts which came up below. Maybe what I felt overall is maybe the value in these ideas is often in some murky grey areas. Optimism : I think its important for creators (and especially innovators) to learn to be completely fine that many visions of the future cannot be accepted by the general population at this time and might not be in their lifetime. This isn’t a reason to not continue with that creative activity. It’s also not arrogant to listen to but still dismiss the opinion of vast swathes of the population, it’s just believing in your own unique perspective. Advertising: I think the amount of advertising and social manipulation we are exposed to now is, in the words of David Lynch “Total Fucking Bullshit”. It’s unfortunate that ignoring them or violating TOS with adblockers is the only option. I just press M whenever an ad appears on KZbin and take it as a moment to meditate. But I increasingly feel even this constant interruption is unhealthy. Media and Reality: Great point that accepting that media is reality is a point of failure. But in that bath water is some baby - great art is still media and can be a reflection / crystallisation of reality, things we can only explore through those means. Perhaps the problem is that so much of media is utter shite “content” which is really just a manifestation of egoism or capitalist growth and has little other reason to exist. Social Media vs Gatekeepers: I don’t believe in the analytics of social media platforms informing creativity at all anymore precisely because those numbers manipulate our personal creative instincts towards clicks. I would agree with Rick Rubin that artists should follow their own instincts, indeed learning to decipher them, not analytics driven by others or worse big tech algorithms, is perhaps the core of art. The algorithms aren’t about giving people what they really want as holistic human beings, they are about giving people what they will get quickly addicted to. But I don’t believe in the old gatekeepers either. I think we could design systems which do help people find things which would be really amazing and enriching for them. But there is simply more fast money in manipulation. Chaos: I absolutely agree that everything is chaos and there are very few things which happen by design. Completely accepting chaos, particularly accepting chaotic or harmful human behaviour or social structures makes me nervous though. There is a best seller at the moment called “Let Them” which feels slightly dangerous in that it could endorse absolving of social responsibility. Of course this has been a criticism of many schools of thought for a long time - eg someone like Eckhart Tolle’s ideas of complete acceptance of “now”.

Interesting video and lovely sounds!

Philosophy can be like nostalgia under comfortable circumstances, rather than decisiveness under duress. I agree with your views about AI's hype eventually being a bubble of Technical Optimism, whereby, after its capabilities have been overstretched, its meniscus of glory will rupture. Creativity is often uncomfortable, as constriction can often allow the greatest freedom. 🤔

I understood myself more because of your breakthrough and these videos. Keep them rolling as long as it pleases you.

very enjoyable and somewhat hypnotic!

this was nice!

If you had fun making it, that's the important part 😊 I had fun watching it. Edit: just finished, what a great conversation, thanks for sharing it with us. I don't think any other editing style would have been as good. In terms of "representation", it felt like a more authentic capturing of the feeling and thoughts of your conversation and your trip. Space for thinking and wandering.

Haha, our family motto is 'Embrace the Chaos" 😁 I'm kind of an optimistic pesamist, where I expect things to go wrong, so end up never being disappointed 😂 What a fabulous trip, thanks for sharing. I think I need to visit Norway and really experience it for myself 😊

Always connect positive first, then negative. Reverse for disconnection. Car batteries can pack a punch if you insert yourself into the circuit by accident.

Catching up on what's been going on. Very glad that you came out of this on your feet. My own experiences are less brutal, but I've seen enough in other people's lives - especially the refugees I've tried to help over the past 10 years - to feel exceptionally lucky. I try to actively appreciate everything that is good in my life and pay it forward whenever I can.

love it. reminds me of a trip where things didn't go right. it was slow going, having to hike instead of drive, but fond memories made and all's well that ends well!

Love you bro!!!!

Long time fan- Wow Such positivity in the face of all that is incredible to hear. Good on you tim! The world needs more Tim’s 🎉 glad you and the family are doing ok!

... when's the next instalment coming ?

So sorry to hear about all of this, but amazing how you are dealing with it all. Endlesss was truly amazing, very sad to see it go. New ensemble looks equally visionary. Might be worth checking the details on the patreon as it says it cost 576 bucks a month... be well man.

Kan i jojne in the new vidio

Go with the flow. Expect no StuF 😊 I love this video. Cheers Tim :)

The choice is .. Feeling lucky? I think you are lucky because you have close loving people who support you - partner, daughters, sister … all the rest come after and is “like consequences” of it … How is this a choice? You were blessed with a sister, partner … children Ok … some people say one have to work on a relationship. First of all there has to be some grounds for a relationship which I believe are beyond our choice … fe. Capability to bond connections..

Can't wait to see what happens next...

All the best to you for the future.

Love the sounds Tim!! 😍

What camera are you using? Looks nice! I was there there (same weekend as you?) - also ran into Per! He's not on my video which is a really different take on the same place! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJeohWZsedCLkKM

Wow, two Tromsø-techno-vlogs in a week! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJeohWZsedCLkKM

Per is mai dad

Hi Tim 😊

Hello Tim, I just noticed that you were going through a difficult phase in your life. I wish you all the strength to push forward your visions again. Your driving force for being together, with which you have given us all so much joy and fun, thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish you this inner strength and power again. Long live music, you Tim and each other. threelum (Mike)

Love how honest you are talking about your situation. And please don’t feel bad. It’s not your fault. All the user including me that loved endless but did not spend money in support are to blame. Also I just can’t understand why not all the big companies are competing to be allowed to buy endless and integrated it to there platform. @ableton please buy endless

Thank you Tim. I’m going crazy with all the shit happening and I mean the personal things would be hard enough to handle. But all the global conflicts, are affecting friendship. And the worst there is no time to breath one event is followed by another layer on layer. People forget and move on. And in about two weeks we will know if America will become a dictatorship. I really need to find a village with nice people. Thank you for giving me hope. And thank you for everything you have done.

Will we be getting the further adventures of getting there? Per seems like the best accomplice.

The journey is the destination as always :D

love the video and the music

lovely backing tracks!

Glad to see you continuing with this channel. This is awesome, Tim! Your perspective is inspiring.

Haha, that's funny, my dad was a merchant navy captain, and my mum bought him the exact same sign 😂

Go with the flow and see what happens....nice 😊

Goddam Tim. That’s rough. You’re still standing and looking strong. Obviously you’re needed here.

Love the music. And everything else about this. Subscribed

How many brits do you need to get Tromsøtekno on the vlogs? Only one, but he needs to be the food-drinking Luckiest Tim Alive!

So his studio sort of doubles as a mini tech museum? Haha. I was really enjoying the talk around the idea of "never give up" It really is thrown around as like a token motivational phrase. But never give up on what? That's the key element. Some people believe, for example, that marriage is for life. So should an abused partner never give up on the marriage even at the cost of their physical or mental health? Some would feel they should never give up, to fight for their marriage with counselling etc - but this isn't always the way. Maybe, it should be that the abused partner never gives up on themselves - that part of their journey on never giving up is to find a way out. They haven't given up on their marriage, they're not giving up on themselves. It's a tricky one and that's just a little example. Some things we do need to give up on. But ultimately, never give up on striving for a better life and a better you and the betterment of the people around you. That's the ultimate "never give up" journey I think! And maybe on that day, you destination was indeed destined to be the car park. Still felt like an adventure to me!

The adventure wasn’t a fail, you just didn’t reach the intended destination.

I really enjoyed this, keep up the good work.

May our Creator bless you Tim. You are one of the GOATS! (By the way, THE MOUTH was before it's time, DOPE!!!!!) 🙏🙏🙏

This is so special Tim. We all love you so much. Where are you wandering in these videos by the way?
