    ‘How can this be? Universal harmony, life, the wonders of music? Still everything to die?..’

    So what? In the end, you will die, and so will the universe.

    ‘But… is there any salvation?..’

    Yes, there is. It lies in exploring the world, for instance, understanding dark energy; doing meaningful deeds, creating values that inspire, doing best quality stuff.

    To build a portal to another dimension, or to start a new universe. There are possibilities.

    Regarding your life, yes, you’ll die, but that doesn’t make life meaningless. In fact, recognizing the inevitability of the end gives life meaning and empowers us to live truthfully.

    The key is to have correct motives, reasoning, and morals, to not end up in a dead-end situation.

    Generally speaking, it’s simple – aim not for profit but for the quality, global quality that genuinely benefits everyone, and do so honestly, not deceitfully.

  • My Tools

    For making music, I use Korg Triton workstation, Sennheiser HD-280 headphones, Samson monitors, and Pioneer CT-F650 deck – for audio cassettes/Lo-Fi… It’s quite a basic setup, to be honest. I also have “Roedy Black’s” posters near my place – help a lot, by the way!

  • mjttnetworkmusic200 – S.A.M by Iksnx

    By the way, I’ve made a new album. Pure Iksnx beats, minimal downtempo Lo-Fi grooves. I’ve decided to postpone the anniversary ‘best hits’ compilation for a bit, but I’m still planning to release it soon.

  • Positive Mindset

    In life… I try not to stuff my head with things like ‘must’, ‘absolutely, obliged, do it’… such things don’t work well. It’s better to think ‘this is interesting’, ‘this could be nice’, ‘anyway, I’ll have to do something during my day; after all, infinite pleasure can be a disaster”

  • Thoughts on quality

    Quality… it necessarily comes with experience, because without good experience behind there is no good quality in front. Good quality is something that has been learned and touched many times, and it’s also always honest – honest here means quality for quality’s sake.

  • The Mirage of Variety

    There exists something known as the mirage of variety, where a person strives to obtain everything – tasting all the dishes, pursuing all romantic interests, visiting all countries, listening to every track, acquiring all the movies, and so on. To begin with, for real – it becomes boring quickly, one can’t experience everything, it’s same the same after all, resulting in a waste of time. Instead, focus on the essence. A human being is not a machine for experiencing tastes. A variety of experiences is important, but even more crucial is critical thinking about what’s happening, the path you’re on, and your ultimate destination. The human mind and time are both limited.

  • Oldschool

    It’s okay to look back and take the best ideas as prototypes for the new. This concept embodies the Renaissance, an infinite eternal return, and self-sustenance – reliable and proven mechanisms of evolution. We can observe these principles in culture, in mother nature, and in our state of being. I’m primarily referring to culture, but technology is also relevant. The new, such as modern pop music or social networks as we once knew them, may have reached a dead end or started off as problematic, only gaining popularity through propaganda or a misplaced emphasis on profits over quality. Therefore, it’s valuable to look back, extract the best, and redevelop it.

    Don’t believe anyone on the internet today; do not let your emotions take over the reason. Always double-check facts and sources. There is so much misinformation everywhere these days.

    In this modern internet-driven world, we face the dark age of information overload, resource mismanagement, supersaturated ignorance, and greed. Why is this happening? It’s simple: we lack bright minds and genius people in politics. While we’ve made remarkable progress in science, art, and business, politics remains in crisis, yet it’s still a crucial field. Politics is key important thing for the balance of society, management of information and resources flows, rules.

  • Edges

    There must be an edge… otherwise it’s difficult to catch on to the essence (ideas, products, everything)

    Limitations are an amplifier of creative power, not only on the part of the creator but also on the part of the consumer.

    Always be aware of the limits and edges everywhere.

  • Cultural Code Determines Ways of Life

    Just as DNA directs the essence of an object’s physical development, the cultural code with which an individual is programmed determines their destiny or the destiny of a whole group. A barbaric cultural code leads to decay and suffering. The brain can reprogram itself with other, better codes; a clean ‘freedom’ environment helps reprogram bad elements faster.

  • Style Analysis: Braun, Rams

    This is good design, good taste. See, the first thing is the function of the product, no fancy stuff; it is simple. Principles? Minimalism, focus on people’s comfort to use, a lot of attention to all the details and their harmony, how they resonate together, those little color parts…

    There is a nice visual style cinema related to that kind of aesthetic I’d recommend to watch, Play Time – a 1967 film directed by Jacques Tati.

  • Contemporary but real Jazz

    Jazz can be not only vintage and classic (78rpm.archive.org collection, for example) and also purely modern (a radio stream link to check). Not jazzy beats, not barely listenable pseudo-intellectual avant-garde, – real jazz as we used to get it, but modern. The first thing that comes to mind is a straight beat there, more solid, bright groove, but still a lot of sax/piano improvisations come as the main ingredient though.

  • Creators, Be Aware

    Artist, painter, musician… Your job is not only to create but also to suffer, to gain a perspective from all angles of existence, to tell the truths of life. A glamorous creator evokes a feeling of deep repugnance… as much as any money-grubbing idiot does; what can they truly tell the world, what benefits can they bring? Showy luxury seems like a thing of resentment to me, both in terms of input and output

    Personally, I feel okay and am thankful to fate for various hard trials, including the lack of fame. It gives me more strength to work harder, to remain original and true, and to live a happier, deeper, more balanced life.

    Such activity as music does not necessarily mean the scope of market needs, often it is just a hobby, “a talk with god”, but it happens that people manipulate it to gain sales. Anyway, the market is just a representation of people’s needs. The monetary system as we have it today is evil and very inefficient, one day we will obsolete it in favor of other open exchange formats, but still, as long as we see music to be a product to fill needs, it can be distributed in different ways.

    Remember simple formula: bad music is music that was made without pure audio pleasure inspiration.
