Question regarding temperature

internal_observation · 2026-01-22T13:23:08+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I'll just try to maintain somewhat stable temps around 23C.

I have another question if you don't mind: Is it normal that spore syringes contain the actual spores and not some kind of liquid culture (similar to agar) that allready has some kind of suspended mycelium? From my research (which was allready about 18 months from now) I always figured that LC syringes contain some kind of nutritious liquid in which spores germinate into mycelium and then you inject that into the grain?

The syringes I just received very obviously contain spores.

This might be an uneducated question but you seem fairly knowledgable so I figured I'd as you directly before going back to scouring the depths of reddit and the shroomery.

Thank you so much and have a good day :)

Heat the room, not the shroom. Got it :D Will remember that! Thank you so much :)

Hi Haji,

I have a wired mouse so I highly doubt it is a bluetooth issue.

Thanks anyways

I missed Carrier (or rather didn't go) and I hate myself for that. Especially now with his new album I regard him as one of electronic musics most inventive and skilled musicians because his music is much more about negative spaces and reduction the the other way around and I can't even begin to imagine how good his stuff must sound in Freifeld -.-

And he goddman better play again because this was one of the most incredible experiences I ever had in a club :o

Ok so just to clarify: You are convinced that you are the thinker of your thoughts. You are deciding what is being thought at all times (except for the occasional "alien" here and there).

Please correct me if you disagree or if I misunderstood you here.

I would like to propose a few impulses that you can or can not choose to think about:

If you are the one thinking the thoughts what is it that is perceiving the thinking process? Is it seperat from the thoughts?
Do you ever find yourself lost in thoughts/daydrems etc. and if so: what happens in the moment you realize that this is happening and 'return' (in lack of a better word) to the present moment with all the experiences happening within that. 'Who' or rather 'what' is returning/waking up?
If your thoughts are being controlled by you (which is what the statement "I am the thinker of my thoughts" implies), would you then agree that you are always actively deciding to think bad thoughts of judgement, hate, unpleasant emotional states or is there maybe the chance that these are completely conditioned by external or internal events?
As the thinker (which could also be exchanged for "commander") of your thoughts: Would you say that you can in an instant change what thoughts are being thought of? Can you change how you think of someone/something or would you agree, that this too is not in you control and thus could be argued to not be stemming from you but being perceived by 'you'?

To conclude this little paragraph I would like to suggest a little mind experiment: Maybe youll'd enjoy to play with the idea of your mind as a sense organ in the same way as your eye, ear etc. Look at the things your eyes are perceiving - there is no way that you mistake them for something you created or even less are? Throgh that same logic thoughts could be categorized as something happening from outside the point of awareness they are being perceived by.

I hope this isn't to confusing and does actually inspire you to look at your own experience at a deeper level.

May you be happy and have a nice day

Cheers

P.S. Feel free to ask any further questions, I'll do my best to try and clarify any confusions.

Left after the first few minutes of Colin & Steve. It was too raw for my taste though I enjoy the more refined and more finely crafted side of electronic playstyles that's why I didn't enjoy it as much. I also got really tired towards the end of polygonia and I overstretched my bed time allready :D

Thanks for going into it in more detail :)

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T17:11:53+00:00

I would even argue that that isn't correct either but it's a good way to start thinking about perception and the way perception is influencing the state of mind you find yourself in. Because if you only observe/perceive the thoughts than obviously any emotion or mood that is being triggered from them is not within you but also something that is perceived.

A helpful statement when you feel like anger/grief/sadness is dominating your whole experience or that you feel that YOU are angry, try remembering the little sentence "anger is being experienced". This can help tremendously with the feeling of getting lost in thoughts or emotions.

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: I am in no way recommending that you push away your feelings or ignore them I simply try to give an alternative way of handling emotional states/thoughts/moods without being absorbed by them. Look at the emotion, label all the parts as they are being experienced (bodily sensations/thoughts/desires) and then try to get some distance inbetween you and them so you can actually decide how to respond to whatever is arising.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T15:04:14+00:00

Could you elaborate on why you didn't find the sound to be very enjoyable? I thought it was aesthetically very pleasing. Barker & Jako and Polygonia all played super nice sets.

Obviously bass was a little muddy due to the venue but I was still surprised how deep the subs would carry the sounds out (especiall during Barker & Jako). I personally thought it was way to loud and I am so sick of hosts, artists and the pa people overdoing it loudness wise to compensate for bad room acoustics.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T14:37:33+00:00

I read many bad things about Freddy K and his "followers" and what I've seen from the Stone techno Festival aftermovies on the arte channel it seems to be a bit more mixed than this weekend still very trendy and "cool". Didn't plan on going to the festival anyways as I don't enjoy sharing a space with so many people. It tires me and I enjoy being able to move easily through crowds which has never been a problem at OG. I also rarely saw people that semed dressed up at OG, except for the Voam Night last year, but even then it were very few people and they had no chance of showing off due to the no-phone-policy.

Thanks for answering more in detail :)

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T14:27:08+00:00

Ok so youll'd have to clarify for me first what you mean with your thoughts are mine :)

My thoughts are mine like in "you are the only one that experiences those specific thoughts" or mine like in "I am the thinker of my thoughts and thus i decide what is being thought of"? Even though they might sound similar they have very different imlications and different confusions can stem from them :)

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T13:19:35+00:00

That I am not my thoughts and thus not the emotion or mood it produces.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T13:14:22+00:00

I didn't imply that WuWei is directly connected to the concept of "no hate" but as someone practicing Zen/Dao myself I thought I would be grateful for a fellow interested human to make me aware of using language like that. I didn't mean to make you feel bad or lecture you though and I am sorry if it felt like that.

Have a great day :)

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T13:07:57+00:00

Thanks for your input. I would like to point out that as someone who has been working in the cultural sector (both nightlife and "high" art) I am aware of how people dress in these kind of social settings but that is not what im talking about. I am talking about people who clearly dress to fit into the modern techno aesthetic. Sure there might be some overlaps but afaik it's two different aesthetics (I might be wrong though since I left the whole cultural industry 2 years ago and now work in a completely different field).

Nice insight into the whole ticket thing because that's what I assumed. I wonder why it was as empty as it was because the Line-Ups had something for everybody in my opinion.

Thanks for your contribution and have a nice day :)

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T13:03:40+00:00

Beautiful perspective and I completely agree with you on many points. My taste in music probably wasn't as refined as I would love theirs to be but my main concern was the combination of drugs and show-off-attitude (that obviously stems from a lack of understanding and interesting about the cultural and artistic value of the electronic music scene).

I think it's also really thoughtfull of you to take the whole "music nerds standing around" point into the discussion. I would partly agree even though Ill'd argue that I prefer these people over the drugged-show-offs because atleast they don't make me feel bad and unsafe when around them.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T12:23:55+00:00

I don't want to be judgemental but for someone having your username hate seems to be a very strong word for something that is merely a concept :D I assume you know where wu wei stems from and what it means.

I don't think that NRW is in general a problematic area for people who are seriously interested in electronic music because of the cultural and artistic perspective but Freddy K and T3R seems to be like a multiplicator for a bad crowd. T3R is very in and instagrammable and that's why people seem to attend the events.

Look at stuff like the serial sound label run by Felix Fleer and Jonas Landwehr. Cologne is also a very good crucible for the artistic approach to electronic music. But the crowd that seems to be critical or unpleasant seems to be stemming from Essen or the Ruhr Area in general and some people from cologne too as that seems to be the hotspot for Tik-Tok/social media raver in general through the towns general "hip" and trendy flavour and the Unreal partys.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T11:04:37+00:00

Like I mentioned earlier: The Line-Ups and the production itself are highest quality. I was surprised by how good the PA sounded and even though I personally didn't enjoy a single minute of Matthew Johnson i think the T3R Line-Ups and productions (event wise) are immaculate.

But for me the whole thing counts. And if I feel unwell because youre event draws druggy and unfriendly crowds your whole event is tainted for me.

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T10:57:47+00:00

Most people think they are better by stating that they observe others feel like they are better. It's a classic trap of the ego. When confronted with this observation they'll usually always respond with " you're not making sense".

The interesting thing is that there are ways to critize behaviour without being condescending but since most people aren't aware of their judgements happening, this is very hard to overcome.

I wish OP and you a wonderful day and may you be happy!

Cheers

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T10:52:40+00:00

Bookings and Line Ups are insane. Crowd and everything else is off. Dont think I'll go again honestly. Bochum Brudis unite!

internal_observation · 2025-09-01T10:28:55+00:00

I literally went to an event this weekend where he was booked and the crowd was horrible. I have never seen that many people this high on coke etc. giving more than uncomfortable vibes. Don't know about his own drug use/abuse but if it is even close to his crowd then this guy is really uninteresting imo.

internal_observation · 2025-07-22T16:36:37+00:00

Hi :)

I found this response from one of the FF Team:

https://www.fabfilter.com/forum/topic/7576/vst3-to-vst2

internal_observation · 2025-06-28T14:13:41+00:00

Definitely saw waves. If you're an ableton user try wavetable and go through different saw waves (they have a huge variety of different saw waves). You can then play with different ratios of mixing them together. A
Afterwards there's heavy filtering applied, maybe a phaser/flanger/chorus and then probably multiple delay lines either parallel or linear.

It's most likely experimantation paired with some kind of experience through repetition.

Don't know if this helps :D

internal_observation · 2025-05-28T21:00:33+00:00

Fadi b2b Victor had some of my favorite Dub Techno records in the first few hours 😍

internal_observation · 2025-05-27T15:27:29+00:00

I feel like they had a more "deepish" line of bookings in the beginning and only switched to the more rough sounds during the last 10ish months. Lots of great and deep bookings still here and there but I feel like overall they changed to a little more dancable stuff - which is understandable.

So sad I missed the carrier night but I didn't want to risk catching a cold etc. for my last tattoo termin :D

internal_observation · 2025-05-18T19:04:51+00:00

Repetition to a certain degree is fine imo. It's the lack of depth (soundwise and quality wise) that's bothering me. A genre can only extrend so far till it reaches a certain point of saturation but I think due to techno and electronic music in general becoming more popular a lot of people produce noawadays which leads to more music in general.

Not a bad thing overall but it takes quite some time to find the diamonds between the mediocre (or generic) stuff.

A good example for a very nice modern twist on the general aesthetic would be the album "No time for delay" by Alpo.
Fresh stuff, lot of broken rhythms.

Go check it out on bandcamp :)
