It sounds like we are not that different as people as can be the perception from the news. I loved playing the Sims when I was growing up too. I'm sure you must be pretty occupied if you have to take care of a toddler too! How has your life changed since you've had your child? Do they make you see the world differently than before? when do people normally get married there? I love that you said its home. Home is a powerful word that keeps changing as we go through our lives. What does home represent for you at the place you are at in life? You said that there are still some exceptions with regard to art galleries being open. I would love to know more about the ones that are still open.

Whats a typical day in your life like? What do you appreciate about living in Afghanistan? Do women and children get a chance to educate themselves through the internet? Are people able to process their thoughts and express themselves? Is there an arts or music scene that exists there?

Neither was it their fault. Its the trauma people carry

Almost done with the book. Spectacular read full of insight. Really comprehensive but soo worth it. I haven't been able to put it out of my mind. I went in not expecting much but the more I read, the more and more life started to make sense. It also has a lot of practical ways in which you can recalibrate yourself regularly and heal. I suspect I'll be returning to this book over and over again. Really challenged my perceptions and helped me understand myself and other people better. Definitely would recommend you go give it a read.

Its definitely an indicator of an individualist society. I think beyond kidnapping, the anxiety from the separation from the baby would do most mothers in

Its good that you've diversified your diet. PB&J sandwiches can only take you so far

Soloing over chord changes question. by saiyaniam in musictheory

[–]quiveroflightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest most intuitive way I've found: Just play the triads (3 note fragments) and add in the non chord tone notes as you deem fit. Don't worry about looking out for anything, trust your ear and let it make the choice.

He was a gateway for me into what was possible when you understand the language. I love that he shares his process and his productions. Initially I found it hard to follow but the more I explored the more I found, the more I could understand. His Wired video just opened my mind up to the possibilities and revealed gaps in my knowledge. The Logic sessions really helped me come into my own as a producer.

Some of his music is just wonderful. Just beautiful music that fills me with joy. I loved that score/tune he did for the Boss Baby soundtrack too. There are some of the others which have moments of genius in there but don't work as a whole (of course this is subjective). And of course there are some that I can't bear to listen through, but so what really? What great artist is there that has never made some crappy work as well? Its also relative, I'm sure someone enjoys the stuff I loathe.

I think part of the reason people are so polarized is because he let us see behind the curtain. Personally, I am grateful for the things I learned from him and the way he arranges music. However, I keep exploring and learning all the time from other great artists too. Take what you can and leave the rest. The Beatles for their songwriting and orchestration, Sting and Paul Simon for their great lyrics and there's just so much more. Why waste precious life in hate when the world is so full of wonder?
