Graphic Art & Design (Album Art, Design Projects, Jobs, etc.)

seems like a weird approach to it tbh

obviously getting stuff played/released or even the odd soundcloud likes are a nice ego boost but surely that’s not the only motivation to open your daw?

look at it more like a hobby/pastime? it’s like if u said u only play video games so other players can see all the achievements you unlocked in a way?

i do it because i enjoy the creative process. easy to take for granted but its so sick that we can just pop open ableton and pull ideas from our brain until we have a piece of music

Big up Zip drives tho

Glitchart, like allowing the technical limitations and errors to be part of the process, is so much fun. When you’re halfway thru something and maybe a bit lost, and the little technical spaz outs inspire you to take it some where else, vibes

Trying to make a holographic looking thing atm, part of a video series

to be honest it has sort of made its way into video games too which is ridiculous. I have a hard time picking up a single player game just for pure enjoyment when I can unlock more cosmetic stuff etc for an online character to show to others

great, that sounds like a mature and sort of zen way to look at it. but like I said maybe it’s just me and I don’t think I can easily change my thinking on this matter, it’s not really a choice for me.

I’m like this with pretty much everything except music lol I get into the sickest meditative state with anything musical

Like phigz said it’s just so cool that you can turn thoughts into music in some magical way if you just sit there long enough

Everything else in my life is purely for validation though :lol_og:

this happens a lot when I’m mixing records for fun

I’ve seen people selling minidiscs on Bandcamp, speaking of less accessible media.

I can relate. Also add a ton of impostor syndrome of sorts, thinking things like “holy shit i just mashed a lot of filters together on this free app from the app store and posted it with a shit-tonne of hashtags and people are applauding me for being artistic. Any idiot could do that.”

I sit down by my piano and record jams sometimes, just playing shit. No need to search for validation. I enjoy the process.

I like your style of digital camo (rounded edges)

the “regular” digital camo used around the world is kind of ugly, IMO

Thanks man. Made it by happy accident just fucking about with digital distortion images
