transfem xennial musicianmanic pixie dream girl ;)beacon of lovebelligerently niceyes i'm bald, no i'm not a fucking nazi

too old for stupid childish games, just here to support people 💜

hi i'm joelle, a nonbinary musician from WI, USA

here's some of my music if you are curious: https://etherphon.bandcamp.com/https://soundcloud.com/etherphon

the music there right now is a tad old, but it deals with my struggles/realizations about my sexuality and gender, thus some of it is very busy and noisy because I had a lot going on in my head at the time (still do but yeah) and this sort of wall of sounds music was soothing to me at the time. I am now working on some more ambient music as well as maybe some vocal pop music :) I have a lot on my plate at the moment though

video art selfie :)

  • Oh I love that movie, I think we rented it like 50 times when I was a kid

  • I mean it gets the basics right, it's certainly much better than GO, the other American rave movie, in that regard lol. I also grew up in the boonies but was luckily close enough to a larger city with a great local rave scene in the 90s to early 2k. Maybe it's not quite bad enough to fit in this one after all, perhaps I should have said GO haha

  • I guess maybe Groove (2000) it's a completely unrealistic presentation of the whole rave scene at the time, but it still feels cozy lol

  • The closeups... yes I can still see them etched in my mind lol. John K was a bodily fluid artisan

  • Probably dextromethorphan powder, it's absolutely disgusting, sulbutiamine powder is pretty bad too

  • I did notice something like that, until I decided to take care on what I commented on, if it's not that important to me I usually don't, such as on the majority of news because what can you really say anyways. There is a lot of political grandstanding and but if you stay away from politics it's mostly good

  • What kind of music do they mainly like to sing? It would help in figuring out what their needs are, some pedals have more special effects which would be good if your friend was into more experimental music, or have different delay chips used for the loops which can be more hi-fi or lo-fi depending on the chip and the clock rate they use and all that, some let you adjust those parameters. For general use I think it's really hard to beat the Boss RC-505 or RC-202, they are well tested and have a good community around them as well.

    The TC Electronic Ditto X4 is a lot smaller, it's not quite as flexible as those but it's cheaper and easier to use I think. If your friend is a little more experimental you can check out the Alter Audio Time Tosser which is dsp based and allows you to mangle your loop/samples a bit more. The Chase Bliss Mood is also worth a look if they are into lofi/warbly kinda stuff. You could also look into something like a TC Helicon VoiceLive Play which is a pedal effect specifically for vocalists and includes a looper, I have no experience with this one tho

    If you're not familiar you can go to reverb.com which is a marketplace for musical gear especially, but a lot of vendors sell stuff there new as well, you can find deals on b-stock and some good sales sometimes. If you want good support I would buy at sweetwater probably

  • That sounds like exactly my experience actually, originally I had joined for a single purpose server but when I lost interest in that thing, the general servers for example twitch streamers or just general severs I didn't have the best experience, but I also was a different person so maybe it might be better today who knows. I did get tempted to re install it to join to audio and music making focused communities but after all the headlines lately I don't think it's worth it

  • Yes it's difficult there is no one size fits all advice for these situations as there are always a million of variables which is why you need to trust your heart I suppose

  • Yeah that's true, I suppose I mean to face it instead of avoiding situations where it could occur

  • Sad but true, so the better equipped we are to deal with it healthier we will be

  • Agreed I've tried to tone down my ranting just so I don't add to this already toxic stew and attract arguments I don't wanna be in. I don't really have much to say about the kid stuff since I'm not a parent

  • It's always a tough situation since rejection can hurt a lot, but at the same time if you never tried at all you may never know. So I think it's worth it to pursue your desire in almost every (romantic) situation if you believe your feelings are true, because the unknown can haunt you for a much longer time

  • I'm noticing a lot of comics I used to enjoy I now find pretty depressing, self-defeating and conformist, huh

  • I'm so glad I never pursued Oracle DB as a career, I was considering it at one point in the early 2000s, even went to school. I would have been making a good $100k+ a year instead of struggling along, but at least I still have a soul :P

  • stealing IP’ is the weakest one in my opinion

    Tell that to all the artists who are finding themselves in the training data, a lot of musicians are now finding themselves in those data. Calling it stealing IP is a bit of a misnomer, since that only really cares about the copyright holders, they are outright stealing culture from us

  • Well now I just can't get out of my head the picture of a Red Lobster fleet of pirate ships invading Greenland shouting "When we say endless we mean it" and that's completely fucking ridiculous but I guess that's what's happening? I have to say that's really Long John Silvers territory
