I’m sorry why did nobody tell me that Michael Mann was this FILTHY with it? This was network TV?? In 1984?? I’m sorry Miami Vice I was unfamiliar with your game.

Without work permits they entered Germany not as working musicians but as ‘students.’ They later gained permits in Hamburg before Harrison was deported for working under age. McCartney & Best were later arrested and deported, leaving Lennon alone in Germany. But apart from that.

this is why being prolific is such a winning strategy. if you're a B average writer, you will sometimes write Cs and As by accident. you can discard the Cs and present the As. you can also study and reverse-engineer the As and improve your average somewhat. just be prolific
“For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.” Hemingway

The Belle of the balls. So my process on this one was a mix of chatgpt, machine learning and microsoft music maker. I’ve made a little script that makes photoshop talk to blender through the midi grid of cubase. – at Camberwell, London

Yes.
Since I made everyone mad on IG by saying that Boards of Canada is better than the Beatles, I feel like I should engagement farm by saying it here as well

Is the discussion ‘should AI recreate music?’ or is the discussion ‘Why is contemporary music so homogenised & formulaic that it’s really easy to copy?’
AI-generated music is indistinguishable from the real thing. A new AI Drake tune just dropped.

The price of turning pro. "So you're taking a few blows. That's the price for being in the arena and not on the sidelines." Steve Pressfield's first movie absolutely bombed. "I was crushed. Here I was, forty-two years old, divorced, childless, having given up all normal human pursuits to chase the dream of being a writer. I'm a loser, a phony; my life is worthless, and so am I. My friend Tony Keppelman snapped me out of it by asking if I was gonna quit. Hell, no! "Then be happy. You're where you wanted to be, aren't you? So you're taking a few blows. That's the price for being in the arena and not on the sidelines." That was when I realized I had become a pro. I had not yet had a success. But I had had a real failure." From The War of Art

Paul McCartney can’t read or write music. An incredibly simple 113-second display of his creative genius:

Replying to @the_culturist_
I was legally and culturally forced to spend the majority of my productive hours up to that age chained to a school desk.

Using recorded music in theaters reduced that workforce from 22K live players to 200 recordists. It was an apocalypse. By the 50s, the same had happened to dance hall orchestras, &c. There are fewer working musicians per capita today than at any time in history.
