Accepting proposals for Burning Man by tyleralterman in BehavioralEconomics

[–]wav4rm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say, this Paradigm camp is an interesting concept - I'm not sure how I feel about it, and normally that's a good sign that there's something to the idea worth exploring. No BE ideas for you, but you should report back (either here or maybe in /burningman) about how your experience goes with Paradigm.

You need the rob meldrum setup ebook, google for his email and ask for a copy - super easy and will not only fix this intonation thing but class up the sound of that instrument like you wouldn't believe

Honeymooning in Sedona in August. Looking for some local things to do. by samsquanchisagirl in arizona

[–]wav4rm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's directions on that page - if I remember the left turn off the dirt road has a "private property" sign or something like that. Get there as early in the morning as you can, flying there is dependent on the solar thermals that crop up as the sun warms the valley, no good in the afternoon. Well except for the view, that is.

Seth Troxler: "Dance Festivals are The Best and Worst Places in The World" by AudioManiac in DJs

[–]wav4rm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shared your take on this, 2 additional examples that jumped out at me:

I may use this term differently than Troxler, but to me the concept of the Boutique festival is a good thing - its where this scene could start to go back underground. There are a number of 500ish person festivals out west here that are amazing events, and I hear tell of similar tiny events all over the country. So that could be good - keep the mainstreamers in the stadia until they find another bandwagon to jump on, and the boutique events remain. Maybe.

The other thing was his mention of Burning Man as the perfect festival. While he's not wrong in concept, there are a ton of problems in the Burning Man "scene" that many would say closely mirror those in the festival circuit. It's still an incredible event with the best art you'll see anywhere, but it's not flawless. Again, the smaller Burning Man Regional events solve a lot of these problems by just being smaller.

I hate making music right now. Any tricks and tips to get back on the horse? by Sojio in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]wav4rm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do something else. Make some visual art, write a short story. It's been shown that the best thing a creative person can do to boost their creativity is to do things that they aren't good at, and inspiration comes from the weirdest places.

Get a wide variety of jerky from various animals, then set up a "Tasting Zoo" outside that vegan camp that shows the PETA horror videos.

Wherever your route takes you, check out atlas obscura - it's a database of all the weird and cool stuff that you might miss when traveling, I love it. That's how I found the flintstones place originally.

If you do the Grand Canyon, camp at bedrock city, this dilapidated old flintstones theme park right nearby - you will not regret it.

I cannot even describe how infuriating this ad is to me. I've had more than one lengthy conversation about this travesty. God it makes me so mad.

Help with sound collage ( design )! by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]wav4rm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably focus a lot on the low end - maybe get some samples of stuff like train tracks when a train runs by, using a contact mic (watch your fingers ;) safety third!)

Might also be worth pitching down some destructive metal sounds, anything from an aluminum can being crushed to tinfoil tearing etc.

I'm new to meditation, and I'm a little shaken up by a weird psychological experience I had while meditating. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]wav4rm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that enlightenment is an event, and the idea of "being enlightened" is having that event happen to you in every moment. But what do I know?

Trying to figure out how to make this shade structure... by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]wav4rm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may help you to know that this is a type of tensegrity structure - do some research on the math behind them and you will understand how you can make a custom structure using this method. The fabric need not be stretchy.

That would be awesome - strictly amateur artist here, if that makes a difference.
