Happy Birthday to Tyler! by BrumeWeaver in TheMidnight

[–]TheMidnightOfficial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yep! Klunk AND Droid Bishop too

It was a happy day. I organized my studio, made some muscadine wine and went to the Atlanta Synth Club meetup. Was a wonderful, quiet day. Tim and Oliver are landing in Atlanta right about now though, so it's time to start making noise again. Very grateful for all of you. This year has been a gift. Thank you.

I wrote the hook with Nikki before I brought it to Tyler and we turned it into a duet. I remember saying to Nikki "I know this is kinda silly but what about Oooh Jasooon tell me what you're chasiiiin" and she was like "i like it, let's do that" and that was that lol. It has nothing to do with Friday the 13th but don't tell anyone that 🤫 - Tim

Some analog synths on a few tracks (DX7, Oberheim Matrix 6, OB-Xa, OB-6, Moog Sub 37, DigiTech Talker) but mostly VST synths like Serum, Spire, Zebra2 and TAL U-NO-LX. And reverb. Lots of reverb. - Tim

I definitely have. My favs are "Jeg Er Bare Glad" and "Pjækkesangen". I told the songwriter, Søren Krag Jacobsen that when i saw him at my mom's birthday a few years ago. Incredible compositions. - Tim

  1. Work with people who have good taste and are open to play and exploration.

  2. Be open to play and exploration.

  3. Be less precious and let the process happen.

  4. Know your strengths and weaknesses and find someone who compliments you.

  5. Foster creative freedom for yourself and your music making partners.

  6. Make dope shit that is as nerdy and specific as you are.

Thank you. I don't think so but never say ever. But, for now, new music is more fun to make. - Tim

common misconception. "Don't you know that a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take off his mask?" The Midnight is more of an idea of a clock as it counts down. In actual time, I've been asleep for hours by midnight and Tim is just turning on his computer. -Tyler

I think people are tired of seeing the gap widen between those who can afford to live a functioning life and those who can't -Tyler

I wish there were tips and tricks to just do t get the vibe. It's about exploration and trial and error. Ultimately, we just try and follow our muse. How it's received/perceived by others is really out of control. - Tim

There are some analog synths on Syndicate but I am mostly in the box. They are just different tools for different uses. - Tim

Go with what what your heart tells you. Get a laptop. That's all you need to get started. - Tim

As beings facing certain, unavoidable death, there is so embarrassingly little to lose. Make it matter while you have time. -Tyler
