oh goodness, I feel like such a nerd. I had to do #chess #research just to make sure that it makes thematic sense, but I'm most definitely titling the second chapter #queensgambitdeclined

(or at least thats how I'm feeling today. don't quote me on nothin'.)
#proud of today's little bit of #progress.

Got my channel rack more color coded, and also I successfully brought samples over from #Splice to #FLStudio!

Also figured out how I want to use the #crow samples in the intro! So now it's time to figure out wtf to do with the #crickets. #corvid #music

The vibe is evolving. Slowly but surely working until I find an intuition about how to use the interface. Like, understanding that if I want to layer sounds, that means adding #channels, not #patterns. The #fundamentals, #y'know?
behold, I have assembled a ✨v i b e✨

This is what I got done today. It's simple, but it is exactly the vibe I need. It feels like trudging through a dark forest, putting one foot in front of the other hoping eventually you'll find some sign of civilization.

which is exactly as intended.
It's such a hard lesson to learn that I need to be less hard on myself in order to allow myself to create. Ah well.
So for today, I've put together a simple little beat that's just a walking 5th chord going up and down,
put the pattern on loop,
and now I'm just trying out every #Synth #String in #Sytrus, and marking a gold star on each one I think I'll want later.
today's #creative lesson:

I was putting off practicing #FLStudio because #anxiety, and now I'm realizing how it's really just one of those things where you need to sit down to it every day.

Kinda like how my hands still have the muscle memory for all my #ffxi controls.

they're like little kirby ghosties 🥺🥺🥺
After 2004, a whole lot of My Krazy Life is a lot more tragic. Bless YG. I'm gonna be re-processing for a while.
#YG #hiphop #storytelling
(like, clearly the line is silly and meaningless and I'm just a really big fan of ab-soul and #qtcinderella. but I still like the feel of it.)

Is it too #parasocial to refer to QT as a metaphorical princess (Cinderella) who is super cool? In a metaphorical diss? Like to contrast the doodoohead?
(I may be sipping that apothic red but I won't be wining about nothing if it ain't with QTCinderella)

idk, I was fumbling around with words trying to be #disrespectful, but then I started thinking about people who I really look up to.
Shouts out to @akjameson.bsky.social for giving me the #direction and #confidence to veer into the #creative space of #audio production where I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.

at least now I can stumble around making things, maybe things to post publicly. Maybe I'll end up using it. Who knows. #DIY
(late at night, trying to #drink less?)
(isn't there another #gummy closeby?)
(rather than another drink?)
(maybe then, we can take a sip of chamomile #tea).
💞💞💞 thank you!!
(should be clear, though: I didn't illustrate this. I just write and dance. it's a screenshot of my character and kitchen in a game called Spirit City: Lofi Sessions.)
That said: at the beginning of this week I was at a few thousand words of #streamofconsciousness, and now that I'm finally #organizing it into sections with specific #intention and #purpose, it's feeling more real than ever.
LET HER COOK
#creativeprocess
(the #cyclical process of #writing and then #editing down can really get to be a lot. I tend to get lost writing, not knowing where to go next, and forget that trimming down what I have already will provide #clarity)
