Grear subject and presentation Oora. Your point on "who decides value" is spot on. To me, art and truth are one and the same. YOU are the only one who can decide what is true to yourself. And the beauty of that to me is that it frees you up to create without fear. The fear of you, and what you've created, being judged. Not to say that you don't listen to what others think or say, but take it with a grain of salt and put it in the proper perspective. Relax. Be in the moment. The moment is truth. "The truth shall set you free."

Beautiful mindset you have here . I remember when first start doing live back then , my mentor always said "Pick or play any song which only need 60% of your true skills . With it, you can enjoy the performances and having fun with audiences . People didn`t want watching static doll in stage, which would be happen if you choose songs which need your 100% music skills " Making music in studio or own spaces should be founded by thinking how those creation will be playing in live stages? After while and keep using those mindset , It will forcing us trimming any unneeded parts in our composition , including use of any ( unnecessary ) fancy tools we`ve had.

I really feel like saying "you can do all this on a daw without having to spend a lot of money" is a mantra I'm really kind of tired of hearing. It's like of course you can if you want to take it literally. But it is particularly in styles like this were its not really appropriate. I'm kind of sick of hearing from people that have amazing desks, spring verbs, expensive synths and pedal..."oh you can do this too with your daw and a volca bass". Well I have myself a lot of gear and I'm not going to stay this to someone starting. I definitely do better music because of my expensive gear. Probably because I'm not really talented or a genius. I don't think it's really honest to say that. Then why do you have so much stuff?

You know once i did a track called 'what happend to my tabla'. It consisted of a drum machine typically heard in drum n bass, however the midi was doing patterns and fills typically found being played on a tabla rather than a drum...rather than the drum going amen break, it went dha tirikit dha dha tirikit...etc...and that was the only track. And instead of the bass in drum n bass, i had a tanpura drone....(which is typically used in indian classical performances As a background accompaniment which singers use to maintain the notes being sung.) Thats it, that was the entire track....a drum doing tabla patterns and a tanpura drone in the background. Myself, I think it was a pretty minimalistic yet interesting track....was it interesting enough for the listeners or did it add value...im not too sure... But i completely understand what you're saying....does it keep the listeners interested till the end, does it have replay value. The bar has been raised too high i guess...every track has longer and longer risers and insane beat drops....i don't think its rewarding enough for me to even try and match that level.... especially when my music is heard by all of ten people in the entire world.😂 Im more content making generative fart noises...do visit my channel and listen to the 'alien farts in a sci fi lab' atmospheric track...cheers, a fact ill try to remember from this video...keep it minimal BUT keep it interesting enough for the listeners till the very end.

I think it's because you naturally exchange self-control for the power you get from the attention of the audience. Everything is a battle with the ego. Sublimation is the key, when we focus the theme of the performance on the elevation of critical personal and social values, everything soars. This is why some comedians become incredibly successful, because they weave humility into their act, which is what I think an electronic musician does with minimalism because they step aside to leave space for silence.

When I first started dj'ing Musik had just come out. I thought of those records as really complex because it was always complicated to make those tracks work with anything. I had heard dj's playing Helikopter mostly but you just don't hear much Plastikman in dj's sets and it's usually close to a train wreck when you do hear them. I don't think that digital dj'ing has made it any easier because it's still really difficult to make the third song. The music was really on a different level. You can't equate minimal to simple which is what pretty much defines the "style."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_music I think most people confuse this actual specific type of music with the literal definition of using less instruments or something like that, but essentially minimal music is following the Wikipedia, and has essentially three elements, some sort of drones some arpeggiated parts. It’s interesting how people throw around terms without looking into or delving into the history of music and how things have developed. I really enjoyed the essay. When it comes to synthesis in modular synthesiser, the Berlin sound takes elements of classical minimal music.

Good philosophies about music. You are dead on that music is like language and communication. In linguistics there is a great weight on how you say things. If you speak more slowly and repeat key points you make your message more meaningful and assertive rather than trying to rapid fire some random words and see if anything sticks. In music I have found out that sparse compositions where you almost like make listener to anticipate next note or small phrase of notes makes them so much more powerful. Of course there are exceptions to the rules like in every aspect of life. Arps and drums naturaly make constant circulation. They just need other kind of attention to keep meaningful. Arps must have some movement in voicing to keep it alive. Drums just need compositional tricks to keep them coming and going in natural manner to keep them interesting. Drummer of Lamb of God, Chris Adler, once said about double bass drumming: You need to play them just enough to keep audience wanting to hear them more. If you just blast songs through with them audience grow tired of them. You are right about that going with the feel. It is good approach to never try to aim for anything. Of course you can choose rough idea by your mood if you like to start fiddling around with ambient or maybe do some techno or whatever is your cup of tea. In techno for example there are those strongs idioms of that genre, four on the floor and off beat hi-hat. laying out foundations of that specific genre may help to set the mood. At least for me right after that I start feeling out different pads to lay down some carpet of sound which evoke some feelings and thoughts. It also gives good harmonic foundation for the track to give really solid feeling of scale that you have selected. Constantly droning root note gives that relation to melodic notes played on top of that. Ambient is a different beast altogether. There might be a structure and rhytm but many times there is not. I have always been huge music listener consuming electronic music, rock, heavy, funk, jazz and whatever fits the feeling. Also playing drums you could think that rhytm being integral part of the music choice. Once I started playing around with synths and using lots of time finding and honing some specific tunes out of a synth I had grown more interest on how the actual sound itself sounds like. There can be really minute changes which can make a big difference if you just pay attention to it. Ambient can be pretty demanding genre in that sense to find those subtleties. I think that it really comes to a personal preferences ( and aqcuired taste) how minimal you can push it and still get a sense of it being some kind of music or even listenable thing. Still there seems to be almost always that constant slow movement in the sound even if we are talking about most structureless ambient tracks which keeps it alive. Many times there seems to be unintentional rhytmic structures in ambient tracks as well which are coming from LFO, frequency beatings, reverberations and delays etc. It is like looking at the clouds. There is nothing intentional there but once you start paying attention all kind of patterns and stuff might start to emerge if you just give it some time.
