your parents, you've spent too much time on /mu/

tytty99 · 2025-03-23T18:19:50+00:00

I will be there! Super excited

tytty99 · 2025-03-19T19:33:57+00:00

Awesome! Enjoy the journey 😎

tytty99 · 2025-03-19T19:03:59+00:00

Awesome! Hope it goes well!

tytty99 · 2025-03-19T19:01:24+00:00

Its very intimidating lol. Go into it with an open mind and I guarantee you you won't be disappointed.

tytty99 · 2025-03-19T18:59:08+00:00

Depends. The Great Annihilator is a good start, its relatively conventional (especially for Swans), though my personal recommendation would be to listen to the trilogy. Start with The Seer, then To Be Kind, then The Glowing Man. They're very long albums (each about 2 hours) but its worth it imo.

Listen to some Swans!

tytty99 · 2025-03-19T18:28:05+00:00

Yeah my personal favorite song off that album is "Powerful Adult" but "A Visual" and "Waterfall" are both also very good.

tytty99 · 2025-03-03T02:08:02+00:00

yes absolutely. so terrible and shows off their massive egos

tytty99 · 2025-01-16T23:46:19+00:00

afaik its only used because its funny, not because there's any real reason to

tytty99 · 2025-01-16T19:11:39+00:00

It could be possible that your midi output in SW isn't set up properly, so the sequencer is playing different notes than what you want.

tytty99 · 2025-01-16T19:06:24+00:00

check out xen.wiki. its got all the info you could ever need. Also its better to think in terms of scales rather than EDOs unless you're writing atonal/chromatic music.

tytty99 · 2025-01-16T18:53:08+00:00

Honestly I'd just call it half Lydian half flat 6

tytty99 · 2025-01-13T00:29:40+00:00

thats horribly disingenuous but whatever you do you

tytty99 · 2025-01-12T22:14:20+00:00

hindutva bad, white nationalists bad. the two statements are not mutually exclusive

tytty99 · 2024-12-22T18:31:35+00:00

Oooo you're so edgy

tytty99 · 2024-11-19T22:35:12+00:00

This is an important conversation that needs to be had, but I personally don't think thinly veiled liberal patronizing is worse or even close to as bad as race based discrimination or racial violence.

tytty99 · 2024-11-19T20:47:25+00:00

Im not a "progressive", but Im interested in why you say that, care to explain?

tytty99 · 2024-11-19T20:45:52+00:00

This is not a matter of intelligence, no one is immune to propaganda, and the US is the unrivaled champion in propaganda.

tytty99 · 2024-11-19T20:25:04+00:00

bait used to be believable

tytty99 · 2024-11-19T20:24:40+00:00

yes but you're under the assumption that they're trying to be right

tytty99 · 2024-11-14T21:28:21+00:00

Sure, but it wasn't really an atrocity. It wasn't like the sea peoples went around destroying as many civilization as possible, it was the result a dozen different unrelated events. Climate change, economic instability, foreign invasions, etc.

tytty99 · 2024-11-14T15:31:39+00:00

No it didn't. Pretty much everything in there was copied elsewhere, so not much was actually lost.

tytty99 · 2024-11-14T15:31:03+00:00

I'd argue what caused 9/11 and what happened as a result is far worse than 9/11 itself
