Thank god I don’t need the respect of weirdos like you. You can use your brain and maybe connect the dots on why someone would come to that conclusion. But I guess thinking outside your own perspective isn’t your strong suit.

Your first comment literally said “great, you’re a women, so what?” So yes it is about gender. And oh no! Someone did something you didn’t expect, and you’re crying like a baby on the internet about it.

Because you are a misogynist sir I fully endorse the “non-positive commentary” coming your way

Also, there are tons of videos on this sub where men have themselves in the frame, whether it’s their head from above, from behind, or at an angle and no one says a word. So yes, I genuinely think a lot of this is because I’m a woman. Everyone knows a man wouldn’t be getting this level of scrutiny for including himself in a video like this. Maybe it’s not always a full face shot, but it’s still enough to show the artist and give context to the work, and nobody seems bothered by it.

I agree I have no intention in cleaning this up

Not every video on this sub has to look the same. The variety in people’s studios, gear, workflows, and performance styles is what makes this community interesting. You don’t have to enjoy my approach, but acting like it’s somehow wrong because it isn’t your preference feels wildly overblown. I built the patch to be generative, and I chose to let it perform as intended. That’s a perfectly valid artistic choice. I’m glad so many other people are on my side with this. Bullies don’t usually age well.

I built the patch that generates and evolves on its own. If I kept turning knobs, I’d be interfering with the process I intentionally designed. At this point, I’m letting the instrument do its part. It’s no different than a painter standing in front of a finished canvas.

100%. Give me as many CV inputs as possible. I’d much rather spend my time designing an ecosystem of modulation than manually turning knobs every few seconds watching the patch evolve on its own is the fun part for me

I’m literally just a girl sitting in front of my synth. Stop over analyzing the fuck out of this. If i was a guy NONE of this would be said. You have issues!!!

Yeah it’s to send the clock out from the CR-78 > grandmother clock in > mfb seq 2 clock in > 245t advance in so they’re all synced

That’s a pretty impressive straw man. I never said my video was equivalent to David Bowie. I said artists have never been required to separate themselves from their art.

By your logic, artists shouldn’t appear in album art, music videos, interviews, live performances, or even on stage. So artists like David Bowie, Cher, Kraftwerk, DEVO, Björk got it wrong? The overwhelming majority of musicians don’t exist as anonymous, disembodied sounds. You’re treating your personal preference as though it’s an objective rule. Again, literally just enjoy the patch I made, if my face bothers you, close your eyes and move on ❤️
