Great to hear your voice again.. You be You TFP. Always an inspirational person, & incredibly generous. Look fwd to digging into your latest sample pack. Always packed full of goodness. All the best for 2025 😊

Great stuff. I feel something similar - it's more about exploration than trying to emulate. It then stays my journey and not someone elses - and regardless whether anyone else likes it, it's me learning, growing and enjoying

[@hugocaldeiravinagre]

there are two kinds of synthtubers, the ones who review gear (and for that we have loopop), and the ones who show us how to make music using gear. you fall in the last category and are my favourite. i have missed your videos.

Ah I love it when people take time to reflect on these things. Great stuff! I often find it interesting to think about why you are doing it in the first place. How much is expression, how much is you trying to make something that "works" in the ultra-capitalist Google (KZbin) system, and how much is simply an act of sharing to maybe connect with likeminded people etc. You talk about "documenting your journey", so maybe that is a place to start and build out from there? I also think that it can be useful to compare KZbin to how TV were. So if what you want to be is a music teacher, then make tutorials / educational videos, if you want to review gear you are more similar to an adverticement tv-shop person, but maybe also womeone with a bit of authority, if you want to share your process, artistic thoughts etc. that might be more in the documentary genre. I really think it is worth it to think about what you really want to do and reflect on how that looks, because there is a massive wave of "KZbin burnout" to the point where it is becoming a meme, and most of this seems to come from people trying to do things for the system rather than for themself. Not always the case of course, but quite a bit. I also find it interesting how you are talking about all these KZbin musicians that you see on KZbin but where you would never check out their music releases. This is something to take into consideration as well. Anyways, very interesting to hear you talk about this! It peaked my interest on how you will be going forward. *Subscribed*.

Hey! I see you just uploaded so I wanted to say I'm stoked to see your videos on IDM and glitch music. I've been wanting to make sounds like the stuff in Billegal Beats (killer label) and I really hope I can learn from your tutorials. If you can recommend what of your content is best for beginners, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!

Oh and more Electro please

It's a little bit like watching somebody play video games on twitch. Many People wonder why in the world would anyone want to watch someone else play a video game instead of playing it themselves? I would propose that it's an extension of watching an engaging movie or TV show. We enjoy projecting ourselves into a story we are watching if the characters are compelling. With yourself for example the viewers feel like they join you in your studio to share in your musical quest. As long as your narration is engaging enough to help them leave where they are to join you where you are, they will walk with you around every unknown corner. And since you are sharing your personal experiences, it feels like following a character arc as you progress. It's a slightly different application of suspension of disbelief to fully enjoy a traditional film, but IMHO the basic idea is the same. I forget where I am and become a silent character/observer in your "story", pretending you are talking just to me in a one on one experience, and it's fun. The learning part is secondary for a lot of people. I think that as long as you remain genuine in your intent you don't need to worry about what type of videos you make or what type of youtuber you are becoming. Too often we get lost in the "why am I doing this". I try not to ask myself these questions, as I fear the day I understand why I need to make art I will lose the ability to do so.

Social media has changed art, you no longer make and sell art, you sell yourself. I don't mean this in a demeaning way, it's just how the medium functions. I personally hate it, but I don't rely on my art for income, so I don't have to participate. I'd rather just make music when I'm inspired and use services like bandcamp and soundcloud as a storage medium for the art I made for the sake of the art.

Are you struggling to get engagement on your videos even though you are consistently making efforts in content?
