I cant sleep again and its 8 am. Been making real good progress on a beat tho, and now that Im pretty much done I am basically unsure of what to do next.
The strategy for me is make more coffee, eat something and smoke a cig. Thats default mode
Insomnia mode is just the cigs and coffee lol. These are my two modes of the evening besides chillin mode
Niceee I just made a cup myself! And whos Ed Gein?
I make mostly hip hop but Ive made a couple rock songs as well. Sometimes I sing or rap but Im not very good at that, just production and guitar playing lol
Ed Gein was an American serial killer from Wisconsin. He didn’t exactly kill a huge amount of people but his crimes were very disturbing to hear of. He was also a grave robber and made items out of his victim’s skin.
I used to be really into rapping and making beats too. Nowadays I’m more into jamming on my acoustic once in a while.
Wow that sounds interesting. Used to love crime stuff but since Ive gotten sick Ive found too much of that stuff puts me in a bad headpace. Still try to get in a true crime series on netflix once in awhile. I like docuseries a lot. A graphic novel somehow would disturb me more haha, I think its because theyre still images without narration
Really? Thats awesome! Would you mind listening to a beat of mine and giving your opinion on it?
Nice just checked it out it looks really quality actually
No worries! Ill get to uploading it now
@DrZen Night mode! Nice I think if you dont have insomnia tendencies then bein up at night is better. More peaceful and you can sleep during the day, much like a vampire
Haha no worries man this aint my first rodeo. Been an insomniac for a long time, thing is Ill crash eventually but got no job or responsibilities today in particular
I’m in what seems like permanent insomnia mode. I have to take 1.5mg of clonazepam every night to sleep. I can’t sleep without it. My insomnia is brutal. It’s been with me for about 6 months now.
i notice when i work on music late in the evening it’s hard to go to sleep cause i get hyped up. I try to watch tv before i go to bed so that i can get tired.
Very true the music got me too amped and so I spent all night making a video for it haha. I should do something more relaxing before bed
@Montezuma ty man Im so glad you liked it! I started with the piano melody and did drums last and they sounded too basic so I made em real nice on the chorus!
@schizophrenisaurus thank you man Im happy you enjoyed! This might be my fav one Ive made so far
It kinda reminded me of this awesome underground band called Zombi. Their music is like soundtracks to seventies horror movies. No lyrics, just synth and drums.
Oh nice! Ill check them out, I love that kinda stuff, analog synths are really cool to me. Id like to buy a Moog someday, or maybe a Mellotron which is a more modern one.
What kinda tracks did you make when you were producing/emceeing?
