Have you ever thought about making music for the present instead of the past, future or some sort of stupid fantasy? Instead of writing music for the kings and queens that long dead, why not write music for the slaves? Or writing music about bullshit like fairies, knights, dragons or superheroes where your everyday's heroes are your own parents? Have you ever written your dearest music about your own loved ones?

I find two genres of music that define the present best: hip-hop and punk. And I'm not talking about Eminem shit rap or Linkin Park fakey. I'm talking about these and those.

Live for the reality, not the dream. Write music about what's real.

It's time for meme. Music meme.

Every time I rewatch this it get weirder every time. A drunk Zimmer is a rare Zimmer. Apparently Hans Zimmer couldn't pronounce the name of Ólafur Arnalds. It got worse when he was drunk... Watch til the end, it worth every penny.

For the past 5 months my follower count stayed the same (146)... or did it? Well turned out some people followed me because of my music, that doesn't always mean they like my unpopular, twisted perspectives, or okay with my extreme and radical mindset. If you have been my followers for over 3 months, you're already used this fact: once every while, I post something edgy, thoughtful, or cynical stuff that throw people off.

Now this is where it gets real.

If you have been my followers for a long time, you've probably known it by now that I don't just stop at seeing people as follower, but I treat you equally as friends. I always look after people I call friends. When they are at the hard place, I usually give more than just emotional support. After all I have been on this website like forever, watching NG grown, witnessing friends come and go.

Turned out... Posting cynical and edgy shit that throw people off is the best method to validate if your followers were truly commited to liking your contents, and proceed to upgrade them to your best friends.

Well, that was how my follower list stayed at 146 (ayy lmao my old account gained followers quicker than this one)

Having a small fanbase is much easier and truthful than having like 1K of people who don't even listen or view to your contents. This is why I cherish every review y'all been leaving on my stuff, because they are invaluable to me, and I'll make sure that they all get the replies.

Thank you to the 146 friends I have.

I have made a decision not to participate in any future competition beside donation of prizes to them. Not because I couldn't win, which prove many times if I stop fooling around and get real, I can pack serious punches with my experience. But time changed. I have wisen up to learn that contests and competitions actually slow down my creativity and not adding healthy thoughts to my composition.

Here are the problems:

• Competitions required exhausting stress to reach deadlines
• Competitions forced your creativity in tunneled conditions, therefore no free thoughts of your own.
• Competitions created selfishness, arrogance, hatred and divisive among friends.
• Competitions are byproduct of capitalism self-indoctrinated false of bootstrapping.

I'm a practicioner of open learning, freethought and non-hierarchical creativity. I see competition is just another chains that limit my creativity.

Example of music created in completely free-of-competition environment:

Mutual Aid

I Fight For The Users

Walkaway

The Extraordinary Liberator

Affinity

The most powerful tool in your drawer is not your most expensive gear.

Nor your talents or gifted bullshit.

It's the power of your creativity.

All of us have it regardless of intelligent, age, sex, gender, race or class.

Utilize your power.

This is a short guide to non-conformity of music production and composition that many composers fell in the same trap.

This is also a diss page. So buckle up.

A - Hans Zimmer "chuga-chuga" and "brawww" won't get you new gigs

Wow you bought a new trailer library? Oh you bought Zebra 2 or Serum? That's a step up! Did you know that you cam make so many other genres and styles with these tools?

Don't try to run with the prison's wall, get over the wall so you can see the other side.

B - Invest your time and labour in sound design, nerd

Sound design isn't just about making boring synth or randomly knocking some "found" instruments. Sound design is everything you can get your hands on, so you can amplify its power. Also don't be a preset pushers. If you are a preset person, at least customize your presets so they don't sound like Mac Quayle ripped a loop from Cliff Martinez. Or vice versa. That's what happen when they use the same tool. At least filter and EQ your shit, nerds.

C - Orchestra doesn't mean free pass to unoriginal shit, no matter how profession your "masterpiece" was

Often I heard shit like this, and thought to myself wow, nice you finally got 8Dio shit Majestica, at least it's time to invest in something that sound less generic. Fuck that was loud, learn to mix better too, over-compressing your stupid track doesn't make it sound better.

D - If you ever happened to make "chuga-chuga" stuff, be a bit more unique

This is a typical chuga-chuga track. This is my chuga-chuga track. You don't need millions of samples or synths to make shit work.

That's it for now. Not quite a tutorial, not fully a diss.

Before his success in Metal Gear Solid 5, Ludvig Forssell is unknown to the world. Now Forssell works for Hideo Kojima on multiple project, even become the audio director for Death Stranding. The guy didn't even have a website or Soundcloud.

This is an example of how a person who's new to composition could done something so marvelous.

Don't give excuse for yourselves to not make music. Give excuses to your life so you can make music anywhere and anytime!

Have fun!

This is a response to a message I received while back that I never answered. And a response to those who have similar questions. I'll keep it simple.

Tutorials, guides and manuals are determined instructions that dictate your creativity. To have the authority over your creations is the greatest crime of intellectual work ever. I am an open learner and a practicioner of open music. Open learning is as old as this human civilization. Open learning means you are your own master and the universe is your class. (Max Stirner got it right but I'm no spook)

In my history of creativity, I have not learned art and music through mindless instructions or manuals. But through experience, skill, experiment and exploration of sounds as much as possible. I'm proud to say to those whose rejected that you cannot create music with noises, or cannot use sound design in classical. I have proven them wrong many times, and will continue to do so as long as I am still alive. I can go from one extreme end to another without difficulty. That is the power of open learning.

I do not believe in talents. Talents are for the privileged. The notion of talents meaning you have to rely on conditioned bullshit such as 'gifted' or 'prodigy'. There are no talents in the under-privileged people, but what they have is unrestricted creativity.

Do not give up on your own creativity. Do not dictate your mind based on the idea of 'unique' or 'special'. No one is special, yet we are all different.

Stay classless!
