Psychedelic Mindscape 

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 💖😄

Thank you, Lisa! It's very much needed and appreciated!

Thank you! I made all these tracks during wonderful quiet nights, which made it a very calming experience, I think the vibe comes through in the music somehow. It's great that it brought you calm and peaceful energies. I'm not good with instructions either, but sometimes, like with software like Cubase, it's really good to just try out lots of things for yourself and listen what happens anyway. I had a walk at sunset myself today too, it was very nice. To have an inner life that matches your ambitions and needs, it's difficult if you're an artist, I think sometimes. On the one hand we share a lot, on the other hand we need to stay outside of a lot of the world, to keep that introspection and the looking at the world from a distance, to be able to "paint a picture of it", to have a different perspective. I'll check out your music some more again soon too, I've been mostly listening to a lot of podcasts lately and a house DJ set here and there, mostly while walking. But I will soon!

@@observingsystem Well I envy these nights of peace and intoxicating sounds which led to the creation of this beautiful work. I was listening to the latest piece by an Argentinian who also makes very good ambient music, Aldo Amodei from the DOALTRONIC MUSIC channel, and I felt the irrepressible need to listen to your latest piece again, probably for the peace it gave me. And since today I had a lot of problems... I put it at the beginning of the message, the drug is starting to take effect... Haha, now that I've told you about Aldo I'll have to I tell him about you. 😂He leaves great comments!😉 I'm not surprised that you're not a fan of protocols and instructions (and sunsets), and you're right about Cubase, sometimes you have to test things and see what is happening, but I don't know about you but I'm a craftsman, I get my hands dirty. I like to feel the music, to taste it, to caress it, to feel its sometimes rough skin that needs to be polished, I like to get lost, to go back, to discover side paths, to reinvent the piece in the middle of creation. I often see my creations as initially babies that I give birth to, and I try, as I did with my daughter, to help them access the merciless outside world by following their own soul, so that they does not lose their sensitivity, but that they acquires an awareness of themself which allows them to channel it.All this to say that I don't need very complicated software to make music like an engineer. However, life meant that I ended up with Cubase… It’s your software too, so if I understand correctly? You are also right I think about your analysis on the artist and introspection. In itself this vocation or nature is ambivalent and it is an opportunity: to draw a “truth” or authenticity from our depths or by distancing ourselves from the world and sharing this treasure establishes an existential breath which in theory should install in us in an existential completeness, but as you say, it is not always obvious. These are two opposing modes of existence that it may take an entire lifetime to contain in a single consciousness. But the artist is also a human being and he encounters plenty of other opportunities to cut himself off from himself. I'll stop there because I could go on forever on this subject. And regarding my channel, absolutely don't worry. You go if you want and when you want, so it’s always a happy surprise when you come to see me. Especially since I don't publish often because I keep the pieces in stock for a long time before releasing them because I struggle to be completely satisfied. Anyway, my channel is a long-term project, I'm not in a hurry.

Oh yes, quiet nights are the best. I'm grateful for all the promotion I can get, of course, thank you! Well said about music creation, I do the same, a lot of changes and taking time and going back to it again, etc. I use Ableton, but it's the same principle. Creating art in any form is a curious thing, when you think about it. We're a species that feels compelled to express ourselves in multiple ways. There's something inside the mind, it needs to be brought into the world and communicated. And if it's understood that's a really great thing, but it's already really nice to be able to get it out and start the next project too. I get impatient with it a lot. I used to go work on another thing and another, not finish anything, but I got more goal oriented about it. And there's always remixes. I will and thank you for understanding!

@@observingsystem I actually think that we are a very particular species, despite all our faults. The latter I think are due to the fact that we unknowingly serve a cause greater than ourselves. Like all other creatures or creations, we serve as a medium for the expression of the immeasurable power that animates the universe, but we are the only ones who can become aware of it. But conscience is a heavy burden, and we prefer to avoid thinking about this cosmic responsibility (conscience is unfortunately a source of responsibility) or to cover it with religious beliefs which reestablish our passivity in the face of it. So I think we are a species that wanders aimlessly, prisoner of historical cycles and the laws of nature, among other things, even if obviously the globalist elites try to deviate from this blind flight in directions that serve their interests, but prisoner before all of our conditions of emergence, those of an animal species, subject to survival, to the ego, and to all these automatisms which unconsciously lead us. We are therefore driven both by this expansive impulse and by the repression of the consciousness of our uniqueness and our responsibility, an excess of energy and an excess of consciousness, basically. In addition, survival exhausts us and life in society restricts us. Some flee into addiction, sink into violence, others make art, sublimate their frustrations or perhaps as you say, get closer to the core of things and feel that they have the capacity to express the unprecedented. Art is therefore at the same time, when it is not just a means of growing one's ego or of earning one's living, two laudable tropisms, a quest for understanding, of revelation, an apocalypse therefore, and a sublimation, a means to manage all these tensions that eat away at us and edify us from the inside. This is how I would summarily explain this strangeness that you speak of, and I also notice that we have the same way of living our art, in profusion, by carrying out several projects at the same time, by changing them suddenly, by letting us change in return as well, in an organic way and connected to imponderables that are beyond us.

Beautifully said! Art to translate feelings and emotions we can't escape, but also can't express sometimes. I think art is a way we relate to people as well. People identify with the art they prefer, it's a way to distinguish ourselves, not just as artists, but also as the people consuming the art (I don't like the word "consume" too much in this context, but I can't think of a better one at the moment). Like a sort of tribe, we like electronic music, we wear a certain type of clothing, we think certain ways, we have an overlap, these are my people. I think people always look for that and in this society it's hard to find and maybe we need art more than ever before for this.
