thanks for the response!

    Already working on the next batch of songs, with all the time in the world. :)

I think this is why I love it so much... we're all busy. We've all got stuff. But through it all, you (and others around here) take the time to create, to build, and share. And I appreciate it.

since you will reject compliments.... I will hide them cleverly in the following insults:

I hate it.

the transition between track 1 and 2 is awful.

the crunchy synths over the beat at about 8:38 makes me so angry

the riff at the beginning of 4 is so bad... it's not catchy, funky, or fun at all.

the vocal processing throughout is raw trash

I found the descending tones around 20:15 to be miserable.

The driving beat and synths at 29:26 are forgettable and atrocious

the vocals in Juke are simply the worst.

the end is so bad I would never listen to it again.

.

.

except the opposite of all of that.

QUESTIONS:

Talk to me about hardware, synths(hard and soft), instruments and software used to create this.

Did you do everything (instruments, vocals, etc)?

Did you use any pre-recorded samples from elsewhere? or is all of that of your creation?

Which instruments/parts did you play live vs. using loops, sequencers, etc?

Would you share some pics of your studio setup?

.

.

.

best of luck in the ongoing global meltdown.

thanks for the rec. I have a short trip coming up in the fall and that sounds like just the right thing.

pretty jealous of both of you... you're both people I'd like to meet IRL.

The world is complex man... but in some ways... it can be simple.

My kid came home from Brazil yesterday after having ben there for two years. It's great to have him back. He and I are currently sitting on the back deck, him with Nintendo Switch in hand, me "working" (not checking hubski of course).

life is grand.

sometimes I think about this post and go back to look for posterity.

it also looks like Youtube finally got busted for having some unofficial Carl up in it.

Life is moving fast.

Family is good - my son will come home from Brazil in 6 days - the first time I've seen him in two years.

Work is good - I like the people I work with and like what I'm doing. If I could get this startup profitable... it'd be that much better to not worry every quarter will be my last.

Work is good - another startup I'm a part of, more part time - is super fun and engaging. A great group of creative people who are doing a cool thing.

Creativity is ok - I've been a little stagnant in this area for a bit, but just kicked off an audio project with a friend that should hopefully scratch an itch.

Homeownership is ok - It's great and all... but sometimes things like "stabilizing and leveling basement floor slabs" becomes a project you have to do - and it's $10k and then you roll in new paint and new carpet and a few other things and that adds $5k and the next thing you know you've wiped out some savings... but in the end... the house is in better shape for it.

Life is good. On balance - I am privileged, I am blessed, I am fortunate. All of the downs don't overwhelm the ups.

I love all of you.
