  • Albums that you put you into transcendental bliss

    I've never been able to connect to this kind of music - like, I'm one of those people who can't really put music on as a background to anything verbal (reading, conversation, work). It kind of monopolizes my attention - so the more meditative and mellow something is, the harder it is for me to get with. The closest thing for me so far I guess is drum/percussion-only recordings.

    So what's a recommendation as an "in" to this kind of stuff for someone like this?

    I think Music for 18 Musicians is really accessible and captivating.  Have you heard that?

  • Beat making

    ^^  i cringed at the Queen/Ice Ice Baby sample at first, but i really like the way that came together.

    i make a lot of mixes but generally only put together one beat every 2 years or so when i find the inspiration+time.  it's never been my thing tbh, even though i can play a few instruments (badly).

    but i've been working from home and with my kids for the last few months (we're traveling as a family, working/home-schooling, so it's weird for everyone), and recently discovered garage band with them.  we all find it very fun, esp with the sampler.  i also like how i can just make a quick one minute long thing and move on without having the capacity to do more with it.  garage band has a lot of functionality, but it's all really basic.  i tend to over-produce my mixes (by habit/compulsion), so it's liberating.

    here are some things i've done in last month that i like.  quality is really variable... like, the rihanna/sza sample is off my cell phone speaker...
