so many layers and cool noises, definitely doing a great job giving the world more wacky noises and interesting music with this one the outro is so rad

my only job is to make music worse for everyone thanks for appreciating my goal;s

this sounds like this random electronic stream-of-consciousness shit that's been going through my head for weeks now. you're giving voice to my subconscious. except mine is a little more dubstep oriented and only projected through beatbox btw these drums are nasty, i really like the 1/3 point's beat with that snare on the ASDIJASIODJ. it's a rarity to make a non-back-beat that actualyl sounds good. it's so fundamental to western music, it's like writing english from bottom to top and right to left, and trying to make it legible. but excellent penman can do it honestly one of my favorite MT180 tracks. the creativity flows and it it feels cohesive from section to section, like one narrative. also i'm jealous asf of your production now because every release sounds better, i've seen this gradually improve which has eventually led to a point where you've easily multiplied your production's quality by like 4. wtf homes

you have no idea how much i appreciate you and your commentary. i can't say i know exactly what you mean by "that snare on the asdijasiodj" but i can say i do love a good drum groove. i wish i could say that i'm spending hours labbing up brand new ways to make my drum patterns stand out but it's just not true. this is for two reasons. the first is that everything ever has already been done by someone else and most of my ideas come directly from someone else's work, my tracks are basically brainmashed sound collages and you can find every sound, pattern, etc that i've ever used in a track done by someone else in a song that i've listened to. the second reason is that these ideas just form in my head, it is EXACTLY the "stream-of-consciousness shit" you describe above. in short, i might not be a particularly skilled penman, but i am one hell of a con-artist, and boy am i schitzophrenic i will also take a moment while i am writing a text the size of a religious scripture to note that saying anything is "fundamental to western music" is increasingly meaningless. so many artists are and have been incorporating their own ideas and cultures into work which is otherwise western-derived (alongside all the people who are experimenting with entirely new ideas) that the entire concept of western music is being made into something colossally more encapsulating than its name would imply i was a thousand percent sure that this song was anything BUT cohesive. i thought "wow! there is no intro and the first drop transitions into this bridge-thing really sharply! this is a mess". indeed, i was afraid beyond the common and reasonable fears of unoriginality and "what if everyone hates it" syndrome that i had created something unapproachable as a result of being too heterogeneous. it would appear my fears were misplaced my production skills as a whole don't actually improve THAT much. maybe i get better at mixing and arranging over time, and these do have an impact on the quality of the work, but these are nowhere near as impactful as learning entire new skills/methods. if you're trying to build an entire house by yourself, it will help to improve your upper body strength, but what will have a larger effect is getting a better selection of tools to apply to the task. in music, there is an inexhaustible supply of new tools you can acquire and put to use. i'm sure one day i'll have collected most of the tools which are important enough to my work to cause any significant improvement on their own merits, but for now that day has yet to come thanks for reading my words and thanks even more for providing a thoughtful prompt for discussion under which i can write this many words
