secrets of synthesis, Wendy Carlos, music
Took the time to listen to Secrets of Synthesis by Wendy Carlos, essentially her lecture CD about working with synthesizer timbres for good orchestration.
A few particularly interesting parts to me:
* I constantly heard timbres and sounds that reminded me of the Final Fantasy 6 soundtrack. This interests me mainly because I always thought of the SPC mostly as a sampler, but I really do have to conclude those sounds were synthesized then sampled.
Somebody once told me
There's a statue in the Gobi
That's mostly gone from over the knees
Visage lying in the sand
With a sneer of cold command
Cuz the sculptor knew how to please
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Empires falling and statues crumbling
Check out the words he left behind
On the statue in the desert that nobody can find:
@byttyrs prrrow?
@byttyrs mmmrrrap? mmmraow?
re: pol
leftists: education should be free
someone who went straight into politics from their top ranked private college fully paid for by their wealth parents: ha! next youll be telling me we should buy everyone a free helicopter!

Hillary Clinton went on Howard Stern's show and compared free education to "chocolate milk for everybody." This is because she lost too many times, so now her job is to churn out girl boss books about bombing Kosovo and hang around telling everyone to go fuck themselves for wanting to make society incrementally less shitty.
Do you believe the US, Europe or even India are Democracies just because there are elections?
Q: Who participates in elections?
A: Those who have the money to campaign and win.
Q: Where does the money come from?
A: Who has the most money to spare? The Rich and Industry owners.
The result is a democracy where you the working class are given a false choice of choosing who the rich Capitalists (Bourgeoisie) tell you to choose from. This is called a Bourgeois Democracy.
#Communism 101
The concept of "freedom" as defined by noeliberalism as any idea is worth having and the best ideas are the ones with the most money and influence behind them is so deeply corrupting
"girls and gays" --> defends astrology extremely sincerely, wanted a gay best friend when she was in middle school, sells MLM schemes on her Instagram account to her friends
"Women and femmes" --> has a PhD in underwater basket weaving studies, regularly convinced by fake r/relationship posts, lives in either Portland and/or Brooklyn, despises anti Italian sentiment online
It's incredibly sad when I look up in the winter while walking through New York City where greenery is a scarce and precious resource and see tree after tree on the side of the street that must be 20-30 years old and they're COVERED in mistletoe.
Those trees, which could have lived for decades longer, are being killed. Why? Because Christians went and imported a deadly plant from Europe that has no use other than as a Christmas ornament to the Americas.
Don't make the problem worse.
