I spent today making music. I think I’m just gonna produce music in the future. I have to work harder at it though. I think I can do it since I really enjoy music. Here is the song I made today.



It wasn’t inspired by anything in particular other than wanting to practice the new synths I have attained from Ableton 12 suite. I used sampler, which turns an audio sample into a modifiable synth. I used it to create a Reese bass which was surprisingly simple. Basically, you take a sample of anything and loop a tiny part of it to the point where it sounds like a bass. Then, I added OTT and saturation (which I actually don’t know what it does other than make things sound good?) I’ve learned that I really don’t know that much about sound design. I basically just flip knobs until something sounds fine, or watch a Youtube tutorial. I want to know what I’m doing and why. That’s the only way I’ll be a successful producer. That being said, every sound in this song (other than the vocal and shaker) I created utilizing synths. Call this my first attempt serious mixing and sound design. It’s pretty bad, but that’s okay because that means I’ll get better at some point.

Speaking of music, my favorite album ATM is Kim Petra’s “Detour.” I’ve been swagging around the streets with it playing. It really helps me not give a darn about what people think about me. Also, I have found My favorite song ever, “Freak It:”


This album + Nirvana is what I’ve only been listening to lately.

SCHOOL BREAK.
I was gonna try taking bath today since I cleaned my entire dorm, but I didn’t get any bath supplies today. i’m telling you, whenever I begin to make music my entire life is under a trance. I can’t do anything other than music. I didn’t eat today until 6:00 pm which is not good. I could feel my brain shutting down.

Since I’ve been taking a break from school, it feels like I’m slowly dying. I miss my classmates the most. I received an adorable message from Lily-san pf her misspelling “がんばります。” She’s so cute. God, I am really gonna miss my classmates. They’re leaving next week. I’m gonna miss Lily-san, Hanni-san, Arui-san, Ella-san, and Jessica-san. I love them.

Tomorrow, I want to get the bath supplies to take a bath with. Maybe I’ll go to Lush or something. I also want to actually walk around and listen to the rest of Kurt Cobain biography. I’m at the stage where he's attempting to rid of his addiction since he's having a baby with Courtney Love. He’s such an interesting guy. I’m gonna walk around a park tomorrow and listen to it, then go get some bath supplies, maybe pick up some dinner and go to sleep. Maybe I’ll climb a mountain tomorrow IDK. IDK!!! Also, my throat has been sore for a while right now… I have some ideas why: coke zero + milk…? じゃね！
