effortlessness
Effortlessness is the key to good quality style. It’s not just about order and neatness, but also about feeling free and unburdened. Top quality always feels easy and simple. And it is, but remember the attempts, values, focus, and experience lying behind that. With that freedom of movement, you are getting up and through. Iksnx Acid…

Operators of the mind
I played this melody with my fingers on a korg a few months ago… Feels hypnotic. It’s not an arpeggio or a speed-up tune. I remember being surprised by how quickly my fingers moved. However, it wasn’t easy to find a matching bassline and other elements for it. The track started with the drums, and…

Aesthetics is shaped by the mind
I’ve tested and noticed it countless times, and it remains true: beauty arises within the perceiver. While objectivity may create harmony and order, the essence of aesthetics is shaped by the mind. And experience, experience, experience, there is so much deep meaning in it.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It is difficult to say that it is just ugly or that this work is frankly bad (if a person made it from the heart, not to order or for the sake of money or fame). It would be more precise to say “I don’t quite understand it”, “it’s not to my current taste”, “it’s…

Processes of creativity
Loosen up style of creator action in music production (or other art) for example when you are relaxed and you don’t care about anything, you kind of allow yourself more…. that kind of music sounds more interesting and deeper, but there’s more marriage among it. I recently came across one of my older works, from…

Freedom and limitations
Absolute freedom is an illusion, like if transport in the city moved as everyone wanted it to – spontaneously and without rules. In movement (and life is movement), reasonable restrictions on the flow are necessary, you can’t just let everyone move freely and chaotically. The same with aesthetics and ethics where limits are needed, they…

The two sides
In general, all forms of creative art can be divided into two categories: dark and light, i.e., warm and cool, serious deep and lucid – affirming and joyful.In short, there are two extremes of feeling and emotion, and two extremes of up or down.Black and white.Minor-major.With shades and combinations varying from one to the other.But…

Culture, information, entertainment, style
Don’t underestimate highest importance of culture and entertainment, as it is said – “bread and circuses”, 50/50, but actually it’s about 30/70 bread/circuses. Not for nothing even monkeys have a lot of leisure – in the world and in nature in general it is not common to work yourself to zero, leisure is immanent and…

New DAS
Finally I found time to prepare and release the new long-waited DAS album I’ve been planning in my head for over 4 years or so… this is the real sound of DAS – very experimental. It consists of tracks made at very different times, some just recently, some a couple years old demos. DAS by…

Contours is the style
Borders – the definition of style.The structure of a flow.Constraints create flavor.It is not the water that gives a river its name, but its banks.

Electricity in music and life
The cell is powered by electricity from both sides of charge, and it’s quite powerful. If we were to compare the size of an atom to that of cell, then the concentration of electricity stored there in atoms would be equal to that of a lightning bolt. Life essentially is the continuous process of transferring…

On tastes in music
Music is subjective. What you may like, others may not. There is simply no bad music except that which is made without inspiration (for commercial gain or the pseudo-values of celebrity vanity) or without professionalism and a focus on high quality (even amateur creations are better when crafted with real originality, balanced mixes, and good…
