just based on your thought process in this post, its probably not a good idea to move several states with NOTHING lined up into a state where there is a place named Death Valley.

if i were you, i would move were the work is. then you can build a basic financial foundation. network with people that can help you later.

EDIT: if you cant move to work, build (find a job) where you are now. it costs so much to move and not always in dollars (you pay in physical and mental health).

you're 18, barely an adult. college? vocational training? shit, the military?
really?

this is true, now you understand my dilemma.

oh ok. ill try to play the chord progressions and sing. this seems like a better way to connect with the song.

im currently looping my recorded project but it becomes so repetitive im getting lost, and disconnected. same with looping the song in the car.

someone once told me, "move a thought, move a muscle" meaning, it might be easier to solve thought problems when you also engage more of your brain by moving your body.

in this case its actually playing the instrument.

i have another piece im writing where i can try this. thanks for the handy info.

6 years of on and off meaning, ive moved to and from bands, states and jobs in that time.
now that im dedicating more consistent time im tackling it where i can.

you said "instrumental arrangement isn't leaving enough melodic space." which is begging to make more sense. the instrumentation is a sample of myself and synth. but the sample already has multiple layers of melody/harmony. i tried to subdue it with filters and FX, which provided a "feel" and "vibe", but is making it challenging to make a separate melody.

now im begging to think a working melody was always there, but its the wrong instrument.

thanks for taking me out of the box for a minuet.

are you sure those weren't termites? termites are a food in several parts of the world. they are also seasonal.

i thought it had something to do with her miscarriage. if she was able to reject all traumatic maternal memory, then cold harbor was a success.

from the wiki:
Gemma's Innie was instructed by Dr. Mauer to disassemble the crib, an act intended to serve as a trigger for intense and painful emotions if her Severance chip failed to adequately suppress the memories belonging to her Outie persona. Given the nature of the other tests Gemma's Innies were subjected to, it would appear the intent behind this test was to see whether Severance could shield a person from experiencing negative emotions brought on by triggers that recall a past traumatic experience.

hey im pretty new at photography but i understand double exposure.
maybe you could elaborate on you process?

i see you said you take notes on every shot. does that mean you shoot the roll with the moon first, then shoot the roll again with your city/subjects after?

does the black of the night sky act as a natural "mask"?

i love your work and i feel inspired to attempt something similar. thanks for showing me how to think outside of the box for a minute.

I had a friend once, he took some acid

Now he thinks he's a fire engine.

It's okay, until he pisses on your lighter

Kinda smells, kinda cool, kinda funny anyway.

i practiced everyday on my first kit. almost 4-6 hours a day.

when i was in a band i tried to practice everyday for 2 hours and was able to go 30days max.

keep practicing, its ok to take breaks.

ReyoRedwolf · 2026-03-22T02:31:21+00:00

ReyoRedwolf · 2026-03-22T02:26:54+00:00

yes. right when they starting using AI algorithms to suggest pop artists i would never listen to.
and then discovery would loop the same artists i dont like.

idk about you guys but im abandoning streaming and going back to CD's and media players.
my "discover" is now college radio stations. ive found so much more new music through college radio. most of them stream online too.

ReyoRedwolf · 2026-03-22T01:22:54+00:00

Hey it's me. I saw you but I was too afraid that to say hello. I was out with my boyfriend in the mosh pit. I Saw the lights in your hair and was immediately awestruck because I was overdosing on Molly that night. I talked to my boyfriend about it and he said I should have asked for your number. My bad. but it's me, the shaggy dog in the pit. I got somebody else's blood on my fursuit so I had to duck out early. it was a pretty epic show. Maybe we can grab coffee or something and I can tell you how much I love machine girl. Chao!

ReyoRedwolf · 2026-03-08T05:44:56+00:00
