      I’m sure he was a chill/humble dude his whole life. Music is a tool to get out the deeper inner feelings no one sees on the surface. A lot of artists who create music with deep/morbid topics tend to be much more tame and collected.

      Took me weeks to recover. I had bouts of paranoia, a fear of the dark (something I haven't experienced since I was like 8) and couldn't even stay in my room where I first heard it. I slept in the basement and couldn't sleep until I literally couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. After years on the internet and having seen the most fucked up videos available, I finally found my mental limit: The Caretaker.

    "Does this sound good?"
    A question not much modern producers think about..

    • @TooTsaka
      @TooTsaka 4 роки тому +7

      And this is in relation to pretty much noise with the later stages, never mind music where it's easier to declare "This sounds awful," or "This sounds great". They don't try to make anything that's special, they just wanna make something that sells. Sadly, mediocre stuff seem to be popular nonetheless. What I see as the absolute worst culprits, ignoring the likes of Lil Pump as an obvious choice, is Cigarettes After Sex and Aitch. Absolutely dire work if you can even call it "work". And yet it sells. Somehow, it sells.

      I love how everyone just acts like their type of music is superior and somehow fails to see how music is subjective and its quality purely depends on who's listening. I don't listen to the radio, but I can't say the music playing on it is truly bad or anything, it's just for people looking for something different in music than I. I, of course, prefer there to be effort to be put into music, but even that isn't necessarily a good indicator of how good the music is. A lot of ambient music doesn't take much work, yet still comes out into something beautiful. And sometimes, the most well received songs are made in a day from a stroke of inspiration, being made effortlessly. In short, I'm just kinda tried of this sorta talk. No music is good, no music is bad, all music is music.

      One of the most impressive albums out there that I feel is something that can be appreciated by a wider audience if they decided to give it a try is Hippo Campus's 'Bambi'. It's simply incredible. My personal favourite: 'Anxious'. The demo version as well is incredible while also throwing out a completely different tone to it.

    I love how Kirby didn't choose Tino Rossi's 'Ce Soir' at random for his subject of dementia, as the lyrics go :
    Ce soir, mon coeur a tant de peine.
    (Tonight, my heart is aching)
    Ce soir, tout semble triste et noir.
    (Tonight, all seems blue and dark)
    J'ai peur, malgré notre amour même.
    (I fear, even with help of our love)
    J'ai peur de ne plus te revoir.
    (I fear to never see you again)
    Of course in the original, it doesn't really relate to the idea of losing someone. But with that slowed-down voice, it really sounds like a declining old-man begging for a relative to not leave him alone.

As the artefacts are similar when looking at his work in spectral format(these artefacts to clarify, are when samples frequencies bounce back due to the sample being above the nyquist frequency)

      it's Ce soir by Tino Rossi, a very popular french singer during the 30s/40s. I've listened to most of Leyland Kirby's discography, and I don't think it has been released, so maybe it was "made" specially for the live. Then, at 8.21, it sounds like the Stage 4 from Everywhere at the end of time.
