• Just for fun. Life Game

    Never busting my ass for any work include this blog or my music or anything else in that matter. I just do it because I like it because I have time because it’s interesting for me. I don’t care what other people can think about that. It’s like a video game or something, just doing what I like. If it will became any really impossibly hard some day, I’ll just turn off the console, I’m free to do that too, experience is everything.

  • Artificial values

    Never “marry” ideas, even if you’ve invested a lot in them, we humans are very complex creatures and it’s normal to make mistakes sometimes.

    It’s better and easier to be open and say “I was wrong, OK, let’s move on, at least I learned something new” than to constantly destroy the path by those wrongly coordinated movements even if “you put so much efforts there” so that they became an artificial value to you.

    Also, don’t care what others think about your way – first of all, they care about their own personalities most of the time, secondly, why the heck should you mind what those heads think at all when you have your own detailed view to decide on; so, just be careful buying the double represented views of others. It’s a precarious thing to correlate your values and ideas with others.

    Freedom is the fuel of good value creation, so – be there. Remember to guard against the delusional, enslaving thinking of the masses, it’s so often corrupted. Listening only to selected people can help – those who have proven by real results that they have good brains and honest morals (for example, those who’ve never been caught telling nontruth deliberately), but even they can be wrong…

    So, the critical thinking, open mindedness, openness to death, and not being afraid of someone saying you are wrong are the keys here.

    Always be ready for the worst. Anyway there is nothing to fear, you will die some day.

  • Aesthetic Reflections

    Aesthetic culture works and develops through infinite cycles of self reflection returning to what was good.

    Like a double filter that takes worthy thru time, call it, whatever, but not exactly like the ouroboros concept.

    Sometimes, significant eras shift due to technological/science changes, leaving behind only a little in terms of aesthetics. As a person from 2023, I find much of interest in the 1960-2000 timeframe, but very little in the 19 century, except perhaps some little in literature.

  • Prisoners

    Are prisoners really so bad? Are they not just a part of us, a part of the whole tree of life?

    Could we have our own faults that these people are wasted? Greedy, closed, selfish, naive, conceited… that leads to toxicity that damages souls around us, and then we imprison them, but then later their children somehow get luck or power – the circle.

    In our archaic society we like barbarians tend to overestimate luck, believing in wrong illusions.

    And then those who got great luck by some chance start to act “superiority” to others, while we are all technically equal.

    On the other side, those who have more brain than average can not be gods, they just naturally do more work to help others.

    From a perspective view, there should be no prisons, don’t waste people, build a better open society, re-educate them or something. No prison, but maybe an open hospital to help those crazy brain damaged people.

    Most prisoners today are just a result of a wrong society. You got luxury, you got drugs (bit pharma and mafia lobbing, actually), you got corruption, you got money.

    Badly organized society highly increases amount of bad people.

  • Don’t hate

    Too much polarization

    You can’t absolutely hate stupid people, just like you can’t hate a wrongly prepared (e.g. with ms installed) laptop – a laptop itself is usually a good machine, masterpieces could be made on it, as well as those people’s brains are generally good… every human is a beautiful, complex creature, just a lot of wrong, corrupted information got inside to some of them, and instead of hating, we better to find ways to be open, to correct them, to reinstall a proper quality self programs.

    It’s so easy to hate and say things like “genetic junk dummies”, “evil”, but it’s also so inefficient and wrong, I know it’s hard, but we can’t make enemies of each other, we have to find ways to stabilize rather than just destroy the relationships.

  • No ostentation, but honest

    There is no need to constantly run to be the best – everyone is different.
    Striving for the real quality, that is another story.

    Don’t push too hard, all you need at first is just to be honest with yourself and others.

  • Got this thing some days ago

    Natural tape magnetic distortion and that noise… nice. It was surprisingly well preserved for a thing from 1970s, almost like a new. It got a speaker and a microphone inside, good design overall; gonna give it a try for my own sampling/recording soon. Not as a main tool for tapes’ handling but rather as a distortion/re-distributive unit.

  • False political concepts 2

    The concept of “power”, “authority” – very often it is misinterpreted and being abused by retarded over others – passive ones.

    It is wrong, you who abuse political influence, you just don’t understand the system of people, it is a complex relationship structure, it is not a herd of sheep to lead, it is always just the people delegated to you some functions in contract agreement for the convenience of today, do not exaggerate the importance of this, especially if you are a policeman or a government clerk.

  • Events, not things

    The world is made up of events and chances, not things.
    You don’t really own anything.
    It’s just some events (often random).
    Groups of atoms came together this way, not that way.
    It’s all a flux.
    Everything will change.

    Accidentally I found this track I totally forgot about, but I was surprised the bassline there is quite good and interesting, complex, not sure about mastering tho.

  • Lost & Found: sx64 (2017)

    I think, that was not bad album in general, today I checked it on a sone speaker, sounds well, expect a couple of banal (in my opinion) tracks. I remember that album around end of summer in 2017, after relocating to a new city, very far away from the previous one.

  • Complicated questions

    Open Source in capitalism? Free information is a big virtue and a mega important factor for our progress, obviously. But how to make a living out of it?..

    Today’s money system is bad; those greedy, mad, overgrown corporations…

    Money is a temporary, archaic concept for energy distribution.

    Open is better, information’s nature is to be free. Just imagine the whole internet would be a product from Google or Facebook… nightmare.

    Universal Basic Income is the answer. Donations and folks’ support can be the factors to continue.

    No doubts virtual reality will take a huge, definitive role in the future markets.

    Humans just love illusions so much.

  • Korea

    North and South Korea – identical people, but what a huge difference in the quality of life there.

    That’s everything you need to know about freedom and unfreedom, open and closed systems, democracy and communists. No more words.

    Never judge people by race, see the organization of a system they placed in.

  • News: swhq and optmay in August 2023

    After many changes, I can finally say that it’s done, the new 2023 Big album for sleeping called “Harvest-23”. Initially it had a human on the cover, but then I found a better version of the design and corrected it.

    Also, yesterday I released a new album as swhq – Simple/Blitz. I did careful mastering and it blasts quite well/balanced out of speakers, it’s always much harder to balance tracks for speakers than for headphones. Sadly, I miss that level of knowledge on some of my past work, for example some albums in 2018 as a.a.z.s..j. TBH, I would rename previous swhq album “What is that?…” as part of the BLITZ series, those all tracks I do very quickly (expect mastering), sometimes during the day I feel energy and realize it as those tracks.

    After 199 albums it becomes harder to maintain originality and style of each new one but I keep focus on the quality at first, and yes I was able to found a new tone for that fresh swhq despite I already used some middle oranges before.
