This phrase came into my head I'd never heard before, but it popped in. "Power of yielding". I looked it up and A.I. told me a number of things, such as its relation to Christian Mysticism.

I might start making music again, but I need a good name for my project.

Justice already does essentially what I want to do musically with my own theme: the cross imagery. They were from me and made by me, and I can recreate their own music, within my limitations because I don't have access to music gear.

I might go on a spree and download as many free or emulatable hardware synthesizers as I can, and go back into music . . . "As I Lay Dying".

I always thought I could just become a big music star, but no, it's much harder than that. You really just have to be selected by the stars.

I once had this idea of "replying" to Daft Punk in an alien form, like a musical project that is in reply to Daft Punk's song "Contact", which is about alien contact. 

Now I find the cosmic and comic satirical idea of aliens completely cringe.

This is like Alan Parsons Project.

I may not make music at all. It's too much effort for too little gain. Music has already been "figured out". All music has already essentially been made, and A.I. ruins it even more.

There's nothing more to make because no one listens. I could make a modern-day great track like Bob Dylan's "Tryin' to Get to Heaven", and no one would listen.

Music is dead. They don't listen to the lyrics or the message; they just go deep into the "kill or be killed" mental illness message of most modern music and off themselves by being too reckless.

There is also a balance between recklessness and cowardice. They are on a spectrum. Heroism is found in the middle of recklessness and cowardice. This is from Aristotle's point-of-view. It's called Mesotes. Not too much and not too little. The optimal effort, the optimal aggression, the optimal dispersion, the optimal diffusion, the optimal force of the power of will, etc.

A mental process one must go through upon receiving negativity or neglect is forcing oneself to force through those things through sheer power of will. You have to convince yourself you're as great as you imagine. If you cannot sing the high note, you have to imagine it first. You cannot live in the material limitation.

If you can imagine it, it is possible; therefore, if you can imagine a song or music, you can create it, but you are limited by your financial or myopic limitations, such as when you don't know a certain plugin or program exists that would make your music sound exactly the way you wanted.

All musicians in modern times are limited by what is available on the market, but even more egregious than that, they are limited by lack of knowledge to what is available online to be purchased due to so many available options.

The way I thought of it . . . was by getting as many free plugins and programs as I could, and making music that way.

A much simpler option to get into music is simply using the purest and simplest program imaginable: GarageBand, and making music with a guitar plugged straight in with a USB interface.

You can send a message through lyrics and with music, but almost nobody will listen.

To make your own music without being discouraged, one must transcend what others tell you, and simply make it from your soul or spirit, i.e. what you want to hear and what you want to be made; otherwise, people will not listen or they will try to tear you down.

Daft Punk, for example, made quite essentially, the entire Human After All album with a drum machine, guitars, and a Digitech Whammy Pedal. They made that entire album with basic materials, but they wrote their music in such a way as to combine it with their previous existing material in a creative process for live albums. They are not "great musicians" in the classical sense, but they have the mind for it. They can imagine the music in their head, the melodies and the harmonies, and recreate what they intended to make.

A lot of music gets bogged down in trying to make something new, but rarely anymore does it send a message. Most musicians today just make pop hits that come out and fall down like Humpty Dumpty.

The most important part of being a musician is this: being able to imagine the music you want to create. It is not about experimenting or messing around, but being able to hear in your head the very music you want to put out through the innately limited quotients of music gear and music programs.

My name is Dylan Smith, I live in Kansas, I descend from King David's line, and yes, I am a genius, but no one gives me credit for anything.

As I've felt for almost my entire life, the best way to be an artist is this: bricolage art, as defined by Claude Gustave Levi-Strauss. I am a Jew like him, and so was Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk. The most creative way to make music or any art is to limit yourself. There are many, many creative options within your chosen art form, but to limit yourself naturally due to financial or myopic limitations is how true creativity is found.

If you have everything available for your brush stroke, you will be withered and dormant. If you have next to nothing, you will make something within your scope.

Choosing a simple guitar, amplifier, and effects + your voice will have a bigger effect than getting bogged down in expensive PC plugins or programs for your music.

The end-result becomes a war between the A.I. artist and the human artist. Art for art's sake vs. human ingenuity.

Leonardo da Vinci is considered a polymath because his knowledge and expertise spanned a vast and diverse range of disciplines rather than being limited to a single field.

Unlike modern specialists, Leonardo did not view art and science as separate paths. According to discussions on Reddit, users agree that his skills extended far beyond painting into mechanics, theory, and philosophy. He believed that understanding light physics, geometry, and anatomy was essential to painting life accurately, blending deep analytical logic with creative imagination.

Increasingly, what I've noticed is that DAWs are needing more and more sign-up and verification to be used. This is hampering to the creative process. I do not want to have to sign up for a program or a VST or anything having to do with music just to make music. Go fuck yourself and fuck capitalism and fuck your mom as well. Go fuck off into a corner and come back to me crying when you see the error of your ways.

If I could get my MacBooks fixed, I would only use GarageBand or Ableton. Ableton costs a lot of money, but once you get a license, you can use it. However, the license is not steady and can be lost. I would rather just use GarageBand on a MacBook, but I can't right now because I spilled beer on my MacBooks.

I am looking for a free and useable DAW without the signing up process, which is increasingly harder and harder. Imagine that. A bunch of stupid fucking monkeys signing up for access to DAWs to jump through a bunch of hoops

Go fuck yourself Mark Levin

Seriously, I'm noping out. Most DAWs require signup or verification to make art. That's capitalism. They sell you a shitty product at a cheaper price than the real ones like GarageBand or Ableton, and with hoops you have to jump through. Music is dead and it will forever be dead until someone kicks the Republicans in their tiny balls and gets rid of the fluff and jumping through hoops. None of this is good. End-stage Capitalism leads to a burning out of the populace until no one can pay or stand the ads or the consumerist culture and then all culture turns to shit.

This is your grave.

You can simply pirate software or use free open source software. There are literally dozens of ways to get around rental subscription usury today, you do know that right? Stop being a pleb, you are only inconveniencing and taxing yourself by doing so.

 >>/81480/
I tried pirating Ableton and got a virus (just now) that fucked up my whole computer and I downloaded Malwarebytes to fix it. I used to pirate Ableton, but not anymore. I pay for what I need now. I want to get my MacBooks repaired, then get some nice external speakers, and attach my MIDI controller to it, and get to making music.

Ableton simply doesn't work in piracy anymore. It comes with viruses that fuck up your entire PC, from preventing downloads, to destroying your computer shortcuts, to screwing up your web browser.

You have to pay !$600! for Ableton, but it comes with a license key, which you have to keep hold of. Things like WaveForm are so alien to me I can't use them.

The best non-intrusive music-production software is definitely GarageBand.

 >>/81478/
Capitalism is simply supply and demand. Boycotting shit is just as much capitalism as choosing to buy something would be. Capitalism is not just up to merchants, it's up to the consumers as well.

Now.... if you get the federal government involved to destroy consumer choice and interfere with supply and demand, for the interests of corrupt lobbyists and special interest oligarchs - as they have been doing for 30+ years now - that's no longer capitalism. That's no longer a free market. It's a rigged market. That's what we have today. If you want out of that unfair system you should boycott it altogether. Pirate or jailbreak proprietary software or use open-source software instead. Have physical backups of all your favorite media. Use bootleg operating systems and/or open sourced Linux alternatives. Nothing wrong with not going along with a rigged unfair anti-consumer choice market.

 >>/81481/
You got to be careful what you are downloading that's true. Have you tried open source alternatives to Ableton Live? Perhaps you could find older versions and install it on an offline air-gapped computer and do not update it? I still have the ORIGINAL Garage Band and the "Jam Packs" installed on Mac OSX 10.7 only I keep that system 100% offline, never update anything on it.

I have the most experience with Ableton Live, but the pirated versions are all plagued by viruses.

But honestly, music is pretty dead, bro. All of it is starting to sound the same, and black people like the same "beat" type stuff. Pop music is basically dead. When did you really last hear a Taylor Swift song? Not really, it's been a while.

Music died completely about seven or eight years ago. Now it all sounds the same with no originality or creativity.

All of the unique sounds have already been curated and used by people like Justice and Skrillex and Deadmau5. Music is essentially dead, bro.

A.I. will make music in the future, but it will be soulless and "art for art's sake".

 >>/81482/
You're missing my bigger point. It's so commercialized that art is being killed in the process. Every time you go on Soundcloud to listen to music you have to listen to radio ads. Every time you go on Youtube you have to view commercials. Unless you pay for upgraded versions. Art is completely monetized so much that it sucks the soul out of art. The next step is A.I., which is making music in a less fully-realized form, but in the future, could perhaps make an Elvis song where he's singing a Taylor Swift song.

The computer and technology is taking over human ingenuity, and replacing it with cold, sterile music for robots. That's the replacement.

 >>/81483/
First I need to get my MacBooks fixed. Then I'll just use GarageBand, but I spilled beer on my MacBooks and screwed them up. I'm going to see if I can get them repaired.

 >>/81484/
I used to dabble in creating music but no longer care to because as you said, everything has already been done 1000 times over before. The only thing unique now is AI that will be able to recreate and remix various artist styles of music.

What is nice is all the available open source software today. Have you heard you no longer need to pay for Adobe or Microsoft Office to do all the same shit anymore? You can do all that for FREE today. Github.com/storytold/

Perhaps you should check out Soundcraft sometime? They're constantly updating it to be better and better, no cost to you, can run on Linux, Windows AND Mac.

Music is dead, basically. Justice and a few other artists still maintain some relevance, but overall, music is dead. It's like how rock music started to die, and then Disco came in, and then Van Halen brought back rock music. That's because Eddie Van Halen was innovative.

I'm just looking for something to do. I like watching movies for a period of time, and then I move on. I like playing video games in between for a couple of hours maybe 3 or 4 days a week, but I'm honestly bored of video games. Probably the last video game I will play is Grand Theft Auto 6.

I'm looking for a creative expression. I have guitar gear, but I want perfect guitar gear which I don't have.

To me, it was here through a form of bricolage art, combining music with images and informative posts.

Levi-Strauss described the bricoleur as a polymath essentially, combining all the arts into one.

A jack of all trades, so to speak, but a master of all.

I have a feeling the next type of music that will hit it off for at least a while is a type of music that is reminiscent of Van Halen pop-rock. Somewhere in between Blink-182 and Van Halen, or in between Iggy Pop and Van Halen.

Something is waiting out there in the aether waiting to be discovered and shown to the public, but it's very, very undisclosed and hidden, hard to be found, but waiting to be found.

This black guy is right. He's saying music is dying. Check it out.

If you look at the way Zoomer girls are dressing, it's highly likely that the next big wave will be some sort of protest music such as a type of pop-punk-rock sort of thing

Honestly I don't know what it will be, but I'm trying to imagine it. I imagine a type of group that hits it big with a female singer, a guitarist like Eddie Van Halen in his ingenuity, and a big band 80s rock ballad sound.

Almost a band with a female singer that FLIRTS with the male listeners. That's what I foresee.

Nobody ever talks about this guitar ever, but it's such a killer. It comes with 24 frets, Grover tuners, an Original Floyd Rose bridge, either EMG or Rockfield Black Betty pickups, and an ebony fretboard.

All for $700 brand new

When it came out I had to have it, so my dad bought it for me.

I prefer I think the Stratocaster body style, however. I'm not much of a "deep heavy metal" guy. I like Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen and Randy Rhoads's Ozzy era.

I recommend trying to find an older refurbished Mac PC with something older than v10.8, keep it offline. Use another laptop or PC to find legit software for it (obviously do virus scans and make sure the sources are legit first). Once you get the legit software you need throw it onto a portable USB thumb drive and transfer it to the old Mac PC, install it offline. This is what I did many years ago. I fetched all the proper activation serials from various p2p networks and blogspots, some from torrent sites. Note this was YEARS AGO, before the whole forced registration/subscription bullshit we see today. I have tons of perfectly working cracked software, all can be used offline and never updated. Works like a charm. Any modern operating system or software that forces you to register and pay for subscription avoid like the plague. Either find cracked older versions/ pirated bootlegs or find free open-source alternatives. You are not going to win this battle playing by their rules.

People wonder why I had "freak outs" sometimes in the past. It's because I could see culture changing in real time to be more about black people and gangster stuff, and the powers that be killed off rock and metal music. The 70s and 80s were a magical time because whites and Jews got along just fine, and they made the best music of all time.

Instead of party culture where people got drunk and made awesome music, they started glorifying violent negro culture.

Now everything is completely ruined and it's all their fault.

What I liked about Justice's first album "Cross" was that they made it like Bricolage art, which, as I've said, was referred to in the book "The Savage Mind" by Claude Levi-Strauss.

They made that album by combining samples from lots of different albums and making a collage of sound. Like how the first track contains a 50 Cent clap sample, and the theme of Godzilla.

Other samples include The Brothers Johnson song "You Make Me Wanna Wiggle", where they chopped up the vocal bits. They made the entire album like a collage and I've always been infatuated with that.

When they made that album they were at their height because they were limited by what production equipment they had available.

They used a Roland Juno 106 for the synthesizer bass riff in the first song "Genesis". It had a particular sound that no other synthesizer could make when it came to the low end on that song.

It's no coincidence they use the Cross as their symbol.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/860115857902?_skw=iMac+computer&itmmeta=01M7D7DQQTN017SBD726ACP5HY

Both these iMacs should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 which is THE BEST Mac OS before Macintosh started going to shit, planned obsolescence. If you can't find a pirated OS of it online then just buy the installation discs online and make sure you have an activation code for it. DO NOT UPDATE THE OS OR ANY SOFTWARE AFTER YOU HAVE IT. Keep it all offline and you should be able to find everything else you need on P2P file sharing networks, torrent sites. I can help you out with that if need be.
