revisiting this after her death feels unreal. she was a pioneer, one of the most innovative artists to revolutionize pop and electronic music w her genre bending sounds and aesthetic. her art feels otherworldly and it's truly magnificent to have experienced it in our lifetimes. remember to tell people how much they mean to you and it's okay to cry.
@100 Mountains The entire industry is regarding her as a pioneer that's whether you like or not, that's how she will be remembered. Get lost you mediocre nobody.
I've witnessed too many young artist die before, but Sophies death is unique. It feels like there was a whole new galaxy of sounds and ideas living in her mind, which will be forever lost, never truly realized or build upon. Her death made me feel a sadness I might never feel again. Kinda trivial and non personal, yet so impactful and world changing as well. I miss you.
I feel the same way, but it also makes me really appreciate the parts of her unique understanding of music she did have time to share with us… Her musical innovation she left with us is truly a gift 🥲❤
I actually will never truly get over it. The music industry will never get to know how momentous she was than if she had gotten the chance to live a full and long life. She was so inspiring, lightyears ahead of the game. And considering the way some parts of the world are turning against trans people, the importance of people like her in our future would've been desperately needed. God what version of reality are we living in bc I want out of it :(.
Everybody got to own their body Everybody got to hold somebody Everybody got to own their story Rest In Peace legend SOPHIE has done so much for the lgbtq+ community and I am forever thankful for her. ♥️
she lives in the light fragments and the sound modulations, in every hum and whirr and insect noise, and she lives in the moment when we open our eyes and the sunlight falls into our little space at just the right moment to create magic.
now i feel like crying. OMG. my inner linguist loves you. this is so beautifully expressed. thank you so much for writing this. it solaced me, which i needed badly because these days i feel as though my heart is going to burst with grief. her legacy will live on forever and we will never forget her.
fill the void Thats a stupid generalization coming from someone who hasnt probably engaged with what she puts out in the world and is too butthurt she’s as successful as Madonna at this point
Tyler Lethersin dance alone is a song she did with sega bodega (i think) but these definitely aren’t gaga’s vocals. wish they were tho, song is amazing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Unw6j4vwKFQ.html
listening the first minutes hurts a lot now. the beats echo in me as a deep sadness crashes like a wave. thank your for everything, sophie, thank you for your art, you are forever in our hearts. we love you.
Sophie’s death is equivalent to the burning of the library of Alexandria. An entire universe that only existed in her mind was lost forever, Rest In Peace Sophie 💔
Man, I love electronic music. Seriously, the way SOPHIE is able to express herself through sound design and arrangement gives me the chills. It makes me want to go out and create something cool.
“Transness is taking control.” - Sophie Xeon. This quote is probably one of the most important messages in her music. Her music honestly helped me get through the confusion and shame of sexuality and gender expression. Although I am not in an accepting place, I am forever grateful that I can find at least one person who shares my feelings, struggles, and even love. Thank you, Sophie. Rest in power.
POV: SOPHIE just kicked your ass and gave you a concussion and now you're hallucinating Edit: Can’t fucking believe the woman behind the masterpieces and the movement taking music to the far-future is gone. She was nothing short of a musical genius and it feels unreal to listen to this knowing she’s no longer with us. Rest in power, Sophie
She was the first musician that I literally cried for after hearing about their untimely death. I miss you and keep your spirit alive SOPHIE by listening to your music. 💕
Me too. I feel awful because I remember thinking it was a joke post or a troll when I heard about it on that awful morning. And then Sarah Bonito and Rina Sawayama tweeted about it and I was in disbelief, absolutely shocked the whole day. That night, once the realization finally hit me, I cried my eyes out to the last part of her Remix Album.
She is our saint now, immaterial and infinite. Deified by her legacy. Rest in peace, you've given us power. We love you and miss you, but now you are a part of each of us, forever. See you in the stars Sophie.
Almost all the unreleased / untitled tracks sounds like samples of future songs she was possibly working on. Some of them could have been some of the songs her & Evita were working on because I know they had a remix project that was supposed to come out at one point & album. I know some of the samples sound very similar to the cum remix along with structure. I also think some of these might be possibly demo samples of the abyss x songs that were rumored to be released. I would also assume most of these probably actually were finished products but were scrapped for the newer album sound
Seriously though i think it will! Not to the extent maybe perhaps. But this is so iconic. People realize that already too thats how iconic it is. Its legendary. Beyond bliss
@YourCommentIsntFunny yknow just because someone is amab doesn’t mean that they can’t change their gender, gender and sex are different things. sex is based on your genitals, and gender is what you identify as. Sophie is a woman because she identified as one. Have some respect for the dead asshole.
electronic music production is (usually) such a male dominated field, but Sophie gave me and so many others confidence showing her unique and stunning work in so many different genres. Her job was to change our lives, now it’s our job to keep that dream alive
I've always use Sophie's music as an escape to a world that is trouble-free. But today, our legendary queen left us. I rly don't know how to cope with my life rn.
@@neonserendipity thank you. her music means a lot to me, to my sexuality and identify so it's a little bit of tough to see the news. sending you a lot of hugs and love back 🫂
I only found out you passed away today Sophie. My sister was reading The Outsiders and she talked about this character called Ponyboy. I felt like listening to Ponyboy. It was 12:47 a.m. and I was dancing around in my room. My stomach dropped when I read the top comment. You're my favorite artist ever. I'm a hardcore K-Pop fan with posters of boybands around my room, but my #1 favorite artist isn't BTS. It's you Sophie and it always will be. I mean that wholeheartedly. There's something about your music that resonated inside me. I was so excited for your new music. I thought I had time to see you in concert after covid. It's 3 a.m. now, and I don't know how to process these feelings. I miss you so much...
I can relate to this comment because it's now 2:17 AM here in Greece and I just learned about Sophie's death and for some reason I felt like it was my fault even though it wasn't anyone's fault, because I live in Athens and right now I'm in complete shock because I was just searching up more of their music to listen to and earlier this day I was thinking about what's to come in the future and what new songs they're going to come up with and now that I learned that they passed I just want to find a way to bring them back and have them in this world still but I can't and I just wanna go cry in a pillow until sunrise bye
I love how the abbreviated title of this page in my tabs right now is "SOPHIE LIVES"...because she does. The soul is eternal. Her creative & energetic imprint, her spirit, her many contributions to this realm absolutely live on. Thank you SOPHIE. Rest well and keep shining, supernova
It’s interesting, as frequently happens, someone has to die, and make the newspapers for people (like me), to know about them, and seek out their art. I don’t know enough yet about Sophie, but I always mourn the loss of creatives, no matter who they are. L R.I.P.
Agreed. I never heard of her until today. I have to say that I like what I'm hearing, though. This piece is particularly engaging in the beginning. I also like that Faceshopping song.
i’ve heard about her for a while now, o never was big on her it was something i meant to come back and stream and now i feel like it a a great time to learn more about her and what she did and all the lovely work she put into it
Heard a few of her tracks having gone down a midnight rabbit hole through PC MUSIC’s catalogue about a year and a half ago. I’m saddened that it took her death for me to realise the sheer genius that she was. I find myself wanting more while listening to this knowing there will never me more. She was our generation’s Kraftwerk condensed into one person.
@@--..__ Bipp (the entirety of product) Uv Love Nothing more to say Koi hey QT Wont K remix vroom vroom its ok to cry is it cold in the water reason why - pretty decent SOPHIE starter pack right there if I say so myself...
this comment section makes me so emotional. I was so out of my mind when we lost her, lost in so many personal losses and such intense mourning and mental confusion I either didn't see the tragic news or my mind didn't register it. but I still had music. and her music. and that's a good part of what kept me going. Sophie for infinity.
Losing SOPHIE was a tragedy on so many levels. I still think about her from time to time, and it is painful every single time. Clearly, SOPHIE touched the hearts of so many people. It is completely understandable and valid for people to still mourn her, even for those of us that were complete strangers. But at the same time, I think this is one of the few situations where it makes sense to also celebrate that we were lucky enough to feel her impact on our lives in the first place. Just think about how much she did for people in the few years we were blessed with her person and work. She was an amazing person and artist, and she lives on in the work she left behind, and the boundaries she expanded on so many levels. She will be missed dearly.
Discovered this a bit late. Brought me to tears listening to this, imagining how much more SOPHIE would have created if she was still here Long live her music and soul
So I’m sure we’re back here after the news of our Trans Music Queen SOPHIE passing away.. I just wanted to say thank you Sophie for all you have done for music and the lgbtq+ community. Your music is tailored to so many peoples lives and identities. You were truly a powerful woman with a powerful mind. It doesn’t feel right to not have our queen of future music here with us anymore. Absolutely tragic and heartbreaking... fly high you absolute Angel. You were one of my all time fave musicians ever💔 A true icon.
I'm so saddened... this livestream was my hope we were going to enjoy new music soon, but after today I realize what I wanted totally was a bright future with this absolute hero. I looked to you as a bright horizon. Iconic and brilliant and beautiful. I won't let that light you lit go out. We will carry you into the future. RIP SOPHIE
@@omaewamoushindeiru6581 If pronouns are connected to chromosomes then what do you call people with OTHER sets of chromosomes? It's almost like one thing is not related to the other.
For some reason, I now always have a mental picture of SOPHIE driving somewhere on a coast line road during a golden hour when the Forever X Sunscreen track comes on. It’s almost like a way of saying “thank you and goodbye for now” for the fans that carry on her legacy and work. Rest in power, SOPHIE. You will never be forgotten. 💔
we lucky to exist on a timeline where there was any sophie at all. and there's a neighbouring timeline where she's still out there. this is my favourite music.
I was obsessed with the sonic direction she was diving into. The mix is sparse/minimal but it is so mesmerizing in the way each sound is emphasized. I love the clean, tight transients of each click, kick, synth. It’s such a subtle yet amazing effect, almost like the audio is a living organism…hard to describe what I mean lol. I was really intrigued by those wobbly and distorted 808 sounds around 12:37 god what a creative use of that sound that I haven’t heard before
If the news is true.. this is so sad. I was listening to this every other day for the past few weeks and now the title is just... awful. I hope everyone who knew her is doing OK.
unfortunately it is true, her label made the statements saying her family would like privacy and for respect they should not to have to read abt alternative theories
I didn't listen to Sophie until after i found out she passed. I really don't know how I didn't discover her music before. Every new (to me) song I listen to is an amazing, exciting experience. But it also carries this slight sadness knowing that she'll never make another new song again. This DJ set is amazing, I loveee this style so much
Felt that the saddest thing for me was I was just finishing the discography of Charli XCX and getting into Shygurl and the day I first heard Sophie’s music she had already passed 😫😫😫😫😫🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@cheesecakelasagna exactly, i feel like the visuals don’t match the music in chromatica at all... i was expecting something exciting and thrilling but got some bland pop instead..
@@haotian1630 hasn't that always been gaga's thing? i mean her visuals and concepts have always been super exciting and present as innovative, but her music has for the most part been pretty conventional. i love her but aside from the first 1 minute 40 seconds of Aura i don't remember being particularly thrilled by her sonically/instrumentally
i think about you almost everyday sophie. ur music has resonated so much with me, and i love finding songs that you’ve produced because to me they feel like new releases. i’m sad you’re no longer here with us in the physical world, but in some ways you still are. you live on through the memories of those you’ve touched and inspired. you’re impact on music cannot be understated. i know wherever you are it’s beautiful 🩷⭐️
the inspirational tone and inspiring lyrics of my forever is filling me with grief. her music helped me off of so many ledges and saved me so many times, she was an inspiration to me, she represented the future. I will miss you sophie, and I'll never forget you. Rest in Peace empress
Only found about her death now through the news and then searched for her music which is so beautiful and influential. It seems like we lost another incredibly gentle and creative soul too early... :(
i once saw a tweet that said “every trans girl should receive a free copy of ableton live 10” and as a trans person i believe this video proves the point
That's bullshit. I refuse to believe her genre had any influence in the quality of her music. Sophie's music is great, and it has nothing to do with who she sleept with.
@@canobenitez gender isn't about who you sleep with lol. also it's a joke (perhaps there's a stereotype within the trans woman community that they all are into music production). relax, find some peace.
I think about her often. She was such a gift to not only the pop/music community but to the world. Though we never met, I felt connected to her with her music. There will never be another being like her. Rest easy queen. 🌕💜
I miss Sophie so much... I want all this to be a nightmare... I want Sophie back... I need her .. I've never felt that before but I feel like I'm alone in space... She is really important to me .
A friend showed me the music of SOPHIE & I remember being so overwhelmed but in the best possible way. Had a chance to see her perform live, it was one of the best shows I’ve been too. May she rest in paradise- a creative genius.
She left us so young, but while she may be lost, she’ll *never* be forgotten. I’m sure millions will continue to enjoy the art she left behind long after she’s gone Rest in peace Sophie 💙
Sophie literally changed my life and art. finding her marked a huge shifting point the painting that shifted the art I was making and made art my life passion was done while listening to her album over and over and inspired by her lyrics. she meant so much to so many people and had such a bright future cant believe she's gone
Ngl, I cry everytime I listen to this. Altough we never talked, she spoke to me with her music, and showed me a whole new world. A world that I'll carry with me forever.
It’s nearly been a year and it still kinda hurts to think that its all over for her but she lives as a staple of pop and queer culture, and remains one of the best producers the 21st century has seen.
RIP Samuel, so much talent. Unfortunate what destiny he chose! 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
this mix is crazy. i start off crying, then i dance while singing "watch me touch myself, let me slide a finger in, let me fingerfuck myself", groove for 15 minutes, then cry again when i learn everybody's got to own their body and remembering sophie's passing. an emotional rollercoaster.
