anybody like my new tracks on Artistry? I'm trying to make less chaotic messy detuned stuff, I listened to my old stuff and most of it just spooks me out now. I'm trying to make more mellow tunes, if you go back to my /really/ old music like 2006 there was some more stuff like that, It's kind of same way I feel about Aphex now, there's like Selected Ambient Works 85-92 and a few other tracks that are really euphoric and nice but 90% of it is just wonk for the sake of wonk

Yeah i actually really like this new direction!! i just made a hella long ramblepost there, but i think you have a really good knack at right / proper production (eg sounds, pleasantness, reverb, room size, interesting timbre'd synths, etc), and I tended to like most of the melodies etc in there. it's reflective, but not corny nor reverby / 2010's in a bad way. there's enough lightness, so the musical elements are actually kinda easy to follow but also you can let it go in the background... it made me feel somewhat FOCUSED actually.
like imho would need a specific context (tho deffo just go ahead and add this to whatever you want, im just riffing here / ruminating out loud vagueties)... maybe it's the overall quality and "nailing it", but it got me into the whole Dune 1 Adlib OST feel in a good way...
also idk if it's an age thing but i also kinda "went back to roots"? and I started to really become more interested in videogame OSTs / JRPG OSTs / classical music?
it's weird because it skips the whole "serious music age" i had, so it's hard to explain myself outta THIS mess. maybe a sort of a "reneissance"?
i'm not sure if there's gonna be a return/reneissance to "serious music"
but something about the way all those music i mentioned was mathematical involved and intricate, probably plays a part in my re-interest? also like, if you try to make a serious music, you kinda have to play the whole ego game and make a statement, when in reality most of life experiences don't reflect that and most music require LOTS of celebral sophistication and overall maths?
i also seriously got into music theory, and it finally opened to me properly. finally!! it seems this brainy stuff gets way easier and better as you get older.
in case you wonder Ragnar, it's not like ... it (the theory) tells me how to make a good song, or how to make a good continuous melody (yet?). it's more like, "here's how you architecturally can build a songs' / genre's rules". that kinda thing, like it's some wack-ass crystall prison architecht. it's not actually that hard (as an adult)... there's less shooting in the dark about how to go on about achieving stuff i guess. eg you recognize some familiar chords or melody-sounds etc, and now you're like "aaaa it was that damn scale all time along" (tho music schools tend to put out lof fo samey curriculum-music people, it's apparently an univeral problem. realized it thru the grapevine). apologies for the weird mistakes in my sentences.
