Music is interesting
I found myself listening to the work of John Luther Adams as performed by the Seattle Symphony today. I find 'Become Desert' and 'Become Ocean' to be enthralling.

found myself listening to the work of John Luther Adams as performed by the Seattle Symphony today. I find ‘Become Desert’ and ‘Become Ocean’ to be enthralling. These are very ambient pieces that paint a gorgeous image in the mind.
I also often find myself listening to Boris and other Harsh Noise/Drone metal.
In terms of vibe, I don’t think two pieces could be more antithetical to one-another, and yet?
I guess the lesson here for me is I need to find more drone music options.
I wonder if there’s a way to backdrive a pickup with the input from the other pickup for an infinite (enough) sustain loop on a guitar. Well, I mean of course there is but I don’t know how to do it, or if it exists yet.
Y’know, I’ve been playing the guitar for 22 years and I’ve still never recorded myself. I really should, I think I’m pretty good. Idk, maybe I’m shit but the point is I’ll act like it doesn’t stink anyway.
Some time ago, my father got me a copy of Ableton Live 9. Over the years, I’ve run out of activations on it, and I’ve long lost my account to the sea of buried memories. Nowadays, I try to use LMMS and Tenacity but I don’t have any idea what I’m doing. I’d probably figure it out if I actually sat down and chose to learn them, but so far I’ve just been playing.
I’d like to be in a band, it’d be really nice. I’ve never had the courage to ask people to form a band with me. I’ve had a couple of friends jam with me before though, I’ve got one who is great on the keys, another who’s a beast on the bass. Just need a drummer and another guitarist or a vocalist, I can sing any range from Bari to Sop2, one of the many benefits of trans-feminizing voice training.
A million songs floating around in my head
maybe if I'm lucky I'll write one 'fore I'm dead
they say a song's like poetry
but for some reason they never flow to me
I just lack the rhythm don't you see?
It's never been an issue of skill.
with master technique or whimsically
this shit just never comes to fuel me
I've got chorus and chords to fill infinity
it's a damn shame, none of them match.
A million fuckin songs
none more than a minute long
Can't possibly be that hard right?
If you made it this far, drop a sub or a like or some shit idc.
Love y’all,
Nora.
