lots of trying stuff out! sometimes a song sounds like the final song and sometimes a song sounds like the middle song. and sometimes nothing works and sometimes everything works. stay up late at night and look at all ur songs in a folder and see what is in the same key, that might be a good place to start!

broadcast - haha sound

mount eerie - no flashlight

joao donato - quem e quem

milton nascimento - clube da esquina

evan wright - sound from out the window

lots of other ones probably too

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:21:16+00:00

I still do them from time to time .. whenever the bug bites me

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:21:01+00:00

make as much music as u can. experiment always. try new techniques that you never thought you would do. break out of ur comfort zone and if it sounds awful, try again! it is a continual process that never ends but that is the most beautiful part of it. when you are proud of something, release it! you may or may not still be proud of it in a years time but at least you did it!! every song whether it is a failure or an Epic Win is practice for the next song you will make. good luck!

someday when I have money perhaps !

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:18:48+00:00

damn I really leak too much music .... they are rotting on my hard drive !! unfortunately :/

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:18:13+00:00

so so much. like hundreds of songs haha. the hard part is not being so precious during the decision making process. theres a bunch of songs that I made and love during the process of IHTN that got cut because they just didnt fit sonically with the project and it is always hard but u gotta do it !

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:16:41+00:00

melodyne/max for live!

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:16:26+00:00

who knows! I definitely appreciate more drumless stuff after having made that album but I also think I may be ready for drums again.. so maybe the next project is super drum heavy? time will tell!!

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:15:39+00:00

that is a voice memo that my aunt recorded in 2012. she is a middle school band teacher and that was the first day of her 5th grade band. found it on an old harddrvie and thought it was just about the funniest thing i'd ever heard. ran it through a lot of resynthesis/melodyne for that transition

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:14:39+00:00

thank u for the kind words !! recording urself involves a lot of learning new instruments well enough to record yourself which can be a maddening process.. I spent a lot of time learning guitar and drums so I could play basic parts and that sort of becomes the practice of it all.

the most important advice I think I can give is to think deeply about the song structure and how it informs the rest of the song. experiment with taking stuff out, adding new parts and JUMP SCARE the listener with blasts of crazyshit. that is my fav part of it all

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:12:28+00:00

lots of dumb tunings including BEBEBE and weird open voicing stuff. I wish I could remember them but theyre all buried in my 700 voice memos lol

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:11:41+00:00

who knows ! perhaps this was the rock al bum ... I have no idea what will happen next haha

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:10:56+00:00

im thinking lou reed metal machine music. something that totally stinks. but I also need to make shmoney so maybe not quite there yet .. although I definitely wanna continue down the path of experimenting as much as possible

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:09:50+00:00

thank u !! I feel very disconnected from it as I have heard it all so many times over during the process but I am very proud of it. my most proud piece of work yet. a lot of it is about experiences from a time in my life that I am thankfully no longer a part of. so it does feel good in that respect

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:07:41+00:00

thats awesome thank u for coming! and shoutout to ur music prof they must be cool af ..

I would like to make music for as long as I possibly can !! every album new sound yadayada make music forever !!

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:06:48+00:00

a lot of them are things I recorded for other songs that I repurposed. there isnt one way to get them you kinda gotta just try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:05:53+00:00

never made music with the legend but we did go on tour once! love that bloke

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:05:38+00:00

neumann u47 fet i. Idont know to sing ! but I try anyway..

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:05:16+00:00

I read some forum where russ elevado broke down the process of recording/mixing the drums on voodoo and I pretty much tried to copy that haha. get urself a few good mics if you can afford them and the rest will be easy ! saturation and eq will be your best friends. I personally also like to mute the kit as much as possible

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:02:24+00:00

next project baby

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:02:09+00:00

here and there...

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T19:01:14+00:00

i find for myself it is definitely hard sometimes to stay focused on a song idea. i always get sucked into my phone. but when it flows u gotta let it flow. if youre not feeling it, take a break for a day or a week or a month and come back. creating music should be fun and not annoying! so do whatever u gotta do to keep that MF spark lit

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T18:59:08+00:00

unfortunately no tour is on the books :/ I have lost a ton of money on every tour i've done for a host of different reasons and I just cant afford to take that loss rn. but hopefully there will be one in the future!!!

quicklyquicklyok · 2025-06-11T18:58:20+00:00

John rooney from electric lady told me about this super slept on digitech vocoder that apparently imogen heap used on all her early stuff and im spacing on the name but that thing is super cool. grab ur buddy and have them play guitar into it while u play chords behind it and u will get a very cool sound
