sunday - monday

drew tonight,

here that is:

feels good to do this again, hopefully i will #keepup with it. the two large heads/faces, i was looking at the cover of dogra magra that i keep by my desk and trying to capture the face she's making, though at the start i just drew eyes like that, and then realized they're not unlike hers, on that cover, so i drew the mouth to be like that.

i really like yonekura masakane's work, here's some other stuff by him:

maybe i should draw clavicles deeper....

very tired right now, not much more to say, i got some new plugins today, one i really like, this spectral compression thing. it'll be weirdly useful for guitar sounds i think because it can extract some weird artifacts out of serum/other synths and if i make really brief attack-y sounds that can help get pick attack down better i think.

here's something i ate today:

idk why i was so compelled to take a photo... but it was good, i really like the sunomono + carrots on the salad a lot, it's rather refreshing, i'm excited to prepare this in the summer, it'll be very nice then. i also did cook an egg and put it in there. good meal... i will probably eat this every day now.

here's 2 songs i made today, also, i have no idea what i'll do with them, beyond the guitar tests i tried the compressor on a couple other things. this first one it was on the drums and i really like this drum sound a lot, it's super perfect. the second one, it's all over the synths. i might mix/master these and then put them on some kind of burner soundcloud or something. again, i have no idea. not sure why i am thinking i need to do anything at all. anyhow, in the second one, i'm really fond of the texture it extracts from some automation on a sine wave, and the sine itself too. i imagine there's better ways to do it, than the way i set that compression up, i probably didn't need to fiddle so much i think other people do similar things by having the same thing running a couple times is all. listening to the first one again, i want to make the chiptune-y bass hit a little harder, so if i go back into these songs, i might distort it and do some other stuff to it. maybe just regular compression? idk... and the last thing about either, but in the second, there's this really subtle thing that happened w/ the compression, or a couple really weird things, one is that there was this low rumbling sound that appeared when some additional layers get introduced, but it's not loud at all, it feels really percussive and asmr-y somehow, i'm really fond of it, it's such an odd and totally accidental thing. the second is that there's the particular high end it creates, that really soft airy quality in the thing, it feels super reminiscent of glitch music, that aspect. it felt crazy to get that sort of sound because i've always wanted to, but it's difficult to get such a crisp/pristine sounding high end.

actually not the last thing i'll say about either, the first here is a really funny amalgam of things, kept thinking about lfo's freak while making it, which probably has a lot to do with all the drums i program, honestly. when i started it i didn't think it'd go as far as it did but the drum sound was so good it made me start doing electro drum patterns instead of that plodding beat at the start, and then when it got faster i was like, i need a big ugly square wave bass, like in freak. idk. that song is fucked up how good it is, and how i always go back to it when i'm making stuff.

oh yeah, and then the dolls i found on flickr. they aren't anything crazy but this account is really cute/cool. it's just mostly this woman's dolls, but then some photos from her life, there's one that's like her at comic-con w/ her family, it's very sweet basically.

here are some dolls / doll photos i rather liked specifically:

okay, i am very tired now, it's 1 am,

so,

Tatsuya Nakadai in The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan (Masahiro Shinoda, 1970) Cast: Tatsuya Nakadai, Shima Iwashita, Tetsuro Tanba, Shoichi Ozawa, Fumio Watanabe, Suisen Ichikawa, Masakane Yonekura, Jun Hamamura. Screenplay: Shuji Terayama,��based on a play by Mokuami Kawatake. Cinematography: Kozo Okazaki. Art direction: Shigemasa Toda. Film editing: Yoshi Sugihara. Music: Masaru Sato. I think I was culturally ill-equipped for The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan, a wittily stylized film that presupposes an acquaintance with Japanese history and culture that I don't possess. From my own culture, I bring a knowledge of 18th-century portrayals of London lowlife, such as the pictures of Hogarth and the satire in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. Buraikan has echoes for me of those, as well as, in its portrayal of the puritanical reformer's zeal, Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. But for much of the film I felt at sea. That said, I like Tatsuya Nakadai so much I'd watch him read the Tokyo telephone book.
