      Does make it less accessible though. It's late at night and I cannot listen on loud volumes, but I don't hear anything in quiet passages either. So either I need to constantly adjust the volume to be hearable, but not wake up the other rooms, or listen to something else

    Thank you. I'm a struggling trans youth.
    I have to go to church tomorrow and it's caused me to have a panic attack because there is no community for me in that church. After all, I'm Queer and Trans in the middle of the deep south.
    I thought I should just try praying the Trans and gay away again then join the church so I have to be Cis Straight but seeing you out and proud with a successful career makes me hope for my future.

  • @superflyghtheart

    As simple as it is, I really like the editing of this video. I really feel like it encapsulates the feeling of physical work. When you start, all of the little physical sensations can seem enormous - thus, the beaver is framed completely, a focus on the human (or animal, in this case) experience of doing physical labor (whether it is gratifying or tedious could go either way - the physicality of the self is my main point here). But as the video goes on, steadily you get more and more sucked into your work. "You" as a physical body begin to melt away from your perception, as the task before you becomes your whole world, and "you" merely become a vector to completing the task ahead of you. A set of hands, an almost invisible force constructing the life that the projecting is taking on, the machine the beaver is working on takes up more and more of the frame. Then, when your work is complete, you can just sit back and look at it. That's it, you did it, and there it is. I think what you've just accomplished takes up your whole world as well, but in a different sense. It's a feeling of stepping back, and, for better or for worse, taking it all in. Whether hollow, relieving, or gratifying, the weight taken off your shoulders makes you feel almost dreamlike sometimes. Floaty. It leaves you in that quiet contemplation now that your hands aren't busy. You reflect.
    I think the music reflects that too, and I think that's super neat.
    (Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I also also like how slow upward pan is to begin with. It's the sensation of watching a kettle boil. If you aren't paying attention, you've suddenly skipped ahead in the video's progression, but if you are, you can't even tell it's moving, which is another clever metaphor, I think.)

    I have finally been able to summarize my thoughts, this is lovely, these are my new favorite tunes that I listen to while I work. They are very quiet and energizing. :3
    When I visualize this album in my funny neurodivergent animator brain kinda sounds like music from the northern lights, music from an intense drawing session, or music from an echoing cave. Thank you for giving me these experiences! :D

      Writing is like a pool, it's hard to get in, cold at first, but once in the water you find that you can float. Naturally your mind will suggest swimming and your body will follow. Eventually you will get so accustomed to the feeling you will wonder how you ever lived on land, where everything is so heavy and restrictive. Then the next day you repeat the process, it never gets eaiser, but the freedom, the floating, will always keep you above water.

    This is really cool, it's not really something that I would normally listen to but for some reason this is really doing it for me. I think I've seen others comment this on other albums/tracks of yours but so far this is really tickling my brain in a way that is surprisingly similar to ASMR. The way the sounds move from ear to ear, the way they gently fade in and out; approaching and retreating. The way it changes texture and pitch, it is all very reminiscent of ASMR to me and it totally hits that button in a new and interesting way. Very surprised I like this!

    Art is experience with emotion.
    It's been a couple of years since music has brought tears to my eyes. This did that.
    I'm afraid I had to stop listening, since the emotion this evoked was too powerful.
    At 9:19 I experienced a panic attack that I could stop at the press of a button. The ringing, the racing, the ticking clock. Every sound, every micro-agression, every shadow.
    With a tap, no with *my* tap. Silence. Safety. Control over myself again.
    And then tears.

This is the first album to have been released since I found you, too, so I made sure to give it my undivided attention for my first listen, and I am so glad I did.

    I really liked this one. It managed to replicate mechanical, electrical, and background sounds pretty well and use it for ambience and details. I really liked the wind you could hear in "Good Job, Beaver!". It does feel like music playing when you work on a task. That album art is pretty nice. I like that beaver. I take issue with "Focus, Beaver!". It feels very out of place with the album cover and the rest of the music. It sounds great, but it's way too grand and spacey.
