is there any marvel studios scenes with a spacegirl who has abnormal boob number ? seeing as its 4am on a monday and i havent watched a marvel movie in years and i feel like there are none and that troubles me. my heart is heavy this evening.

5. something i just remembered - guide the listener - even incredibly shitty dynamics do an amazing job at making a track way better and feel polished

so just just to reframe ur experience as much as possible to recognize that ur ego wants u to live forever. and the art that u make is always about what u leave behind, bc its about giving not taking. art is giving. ego is taking. give with your art. give your perspective. bc rlly that’s all it is

a song that u make has nothing to do with the song u make and everything to do with what that song will become and turn into in the physical for you and everyone else not just for the next year, or 10 years, but as far as we know until the sun fucking explodes

there are of course songs i find and are new and im like “whoa” but tbh all the songs that are important to me are like old friends, because weve been through a lot together. a song is a much more alive present thing than u release at first when u start out making music

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

meaning: the sounds u make should be viewed as creating a phsycial environment that when experienced, the memory of said experience for listener would then be a means to the “end” of the experience of your world blooming into the intended impact. like a seed growing into a tree overtime.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

vibrations u create and gift to the world should be seen as marketing for your impact. the world is just being, and the listen walks in,world says “i am, and i am whole. “ showing up presently, in wholeness, as its honest self, as energetically whole, regardless of the content of the song

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the vibrations u create are a means to an end, the the end is abstract. because the end is not only just how it makes the viewer FEEL, but what the COMPELLS them to DO. the ACTION the listener takes as an extension of the FEELING your world gave them, is your physical, material impact.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

but even within the song, you should see your sonic world youre creating as being “marketing “ for how u see the world. whats so great about this sonic world? why should i go there? HOW WILL I FEEL after i go there? (after i listen to song)

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

as “your listeners”. this is where its important that the only listener is you. define it for the world later for marketing purposes. you can bend words to make any song whatever genre you want as long as u package it right.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

this will never end. if anything, the feeling of judgement gets much worse. the world’s expectation of what content u put out doesnt exist at first. only that u did not do that, and now u do. which is its own hill to climb. but then there are new hills, which are the expectations from whoever u see

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

quality is not marketing. quality is not views. quality is subjective. views are objective. learn what is marketing. “quality” is a word that describes how well somethjng alligns with a def. of what it is. but this is problematic bc of what i brought up earlier. u r the definer of what music is

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

ngl it is all that deep. it takes literally an hour for me to make something that is “a song”. and it would be a really good one. and tbh that was true a long time before i wisened up to the fact that it rlly is like that. u can make gold in 30 seconds.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

not the other way around. its bc of overproduction and accessible technology that the game is now entirely “what do u want” bc everything is at our fingertips. were not taught to ask this, which is why we dont. which is why a much more familiar perspective to take is “im overwhelmed bc its too hard”

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

#???. make stuff. idea. action. call it finished. reflect. move on. everything that is not this is overthinking. everything is testing, seeing what happens, how u feel, taking note, moving on. most of the time the overwhelming nature of something is just how easy it all is,

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

learning how to shed perspective will allow u to be able to shed the worlds u create in order to move on and create more, different worlds

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

because while creating worlds that are meant to feel like crack to consume, u have to find a way to not get lost in those worlds as you exceed your own expectations of what u thought was possible for yourself.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

FIND WHAT THAT IS!!! make that!!! that is your song!! the clearer and cleaner u get about what u like the faster u will be able to make things and the more u r able to let go of things emotionally in life, the more u will be able to create

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

but the fact is — if the idea of looking at what the list of boxes to check to make a good song rubs u the wrong way — this is bc u have some idea of what a song is in ur mind

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

literally the best thing u could possibly do while producing is find a way to constantly be the listener and ignore the technique as much as possible

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

being able to be the viewer of ur own world as u make it is relative to ur capacity to be aware of whats happening in the present moment in a detached way

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

i cannot stress this enough. it is incredibly easy to make a very good song. we know how to do it. the harder question is do u want to? why do u want to do it differently? what are u trying to add to the conversation? whats missing? what do u wish was there when u hear music? u r the viewer

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

discovering your definition of music requires discovering a definition of reality, and vibration, and feeling itself. what life is. what life means. i see music as unavoidably a reflection of our experience or life, and the vibrations u put into it will be felt

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

u make things bc ur soul is trying to say something. let the medium of what u create follow ur souls cry. allow ur souls cry to be malleable enough to take on different forms and change and evolve. ur souls cry will never change. it can only become more clear with each alligned hill thats climbed.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

all that to say its all completely neutral. you get to do it your way, and define music in your way, and finding the balance between your world u create for u, and the rest of the worlds response to that, is finding the conversation ur meant to be having with the universe.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the world do not worship the new thing. the world usually burns the new thing.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

a niche song is inherently literally a physical world (the general public) does not understand, and the world fears what it does not understand. people worship ancient gods. more than likely because they were backed by some institution for some societal or communal benefit.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the brain is not having to process when the snare comes because its rock, it always comes at the same time. because the listener has the safety of something understood, they feel emotionally secure enough to allow themselves into the physical world u create

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

but all the sudden if the thing u made is “a rock song” - the consumers mind says “oh okay its rock music “ and then tunes into the content of the piece moreso than the understood elements

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

but more often than not the lack of an institutional structure for such garbly gook code makes it increasingly difficult to access the average general consumer based on the fuck that they wont know what theyre fucking looking at

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

language u r speaking. if u write something is garbly gook code, it will be fun for people who love to decode things, or for people who like things that are new or cause intense feelings. this is the benefit of garbly code - it can cause people to look

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

this paradoxically will create fucking greatness every time. the choice to let go of individual ego stamped onto the piece, is what will grant it the freedom to exist as it is. the rule following just ensure that the material universe will hear what youre trying to say because it will understand the

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

this is why ur taste is invaluable. because if u ask yourself what music u like, its more than likely that it will fit into a genre, or a set of rules. its not complicated. make it. follow the rules. do it in your flavor.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

how the material physical world responds to what you decide to create depends on its contextual understanding of what u are “writing” with your music. if genre is the grammar, what are u literally saying with what genre u are choosing? why?

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the kick goes a certain place in hip hop. it goes a certain place in jazz. same for snare. quality is relative to contextual understanding.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the kick and snare are an institution becuase music is laungauge. youre talking about grammar. you ARE ALLOWED to write nonsense that does not follow grammar. but the “grammar” of music is understood through genre.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

music is what u define it to be. u have ur opinions, and i guarantee u are taking them for granted when they are your greatest asset. everything is your taste. if someone asked me how to produce id tell them to go study nature. go look at a tree. the more u see, the more you will be able to see

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

every great artist saw that ideas were separate from them bc they were the only ones with enough ability to understand that the only reason they were able to do what they were doing was because of the ability they had, which was fundamentally not within their control

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

point being: the time that goes into what u make is irrelevant. apologies to ur ego. sometimes masterpieces come from years, sometimes from minutes or even seconds. top 40 songs have been made in under a couple hours before. those people that did that were human. u can too be incredible. u r allowed

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

if u are early in ur journey u love to define things. this is that, that is this, but the truth is, u could record a garbage truck, throw it in a daw, reverse it, add a completely abhorrently dissonant drum sample on top and it would probably be the hardest shit anyones ever heard

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

interestingly were seeing a resurgence of dance music as the general public longs for physical community outside of online spaces, which is another example of circumstance creating music.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

their PHYSICAL world. so your PHYSICAL being while documenting the song, is IDENTICALLY being duplicated in a “present” sense for the consumer, as if time has not passed. the power of technological advancement has made songs a means for individual exploration and validation thru private listening

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

earnest presence WHILE making the track. because again, all music is, is documented sonic vibration, which is like 33% of our experience of life. id say most of the time the remainjng 66% are devoted to sight and touch. so if someone has eyes closed and not moving, ur song is now their literal world

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

my point is while ur nose deep in the trenches of how ur hi hat is mixed, the consumer washing dishes can barely make out the snare over the noise of daily life. why does your moment deserve someones attention? the only answer to this, in my view, is earnest presence, no matter how that manifests

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

the conversation of someones life. a song is a fleeting subtle nudge lost in a sea of playlists. u are a contributor to a sea of playlists that are creating people’s realities and inner beings. what a song is, is a moment that passes as soon as it arrives. it is gone instantly. it is transient.

100

Ratdoodle @ratdoodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

3. this is partly 2, but keep everything SIMPLE. what youre making, regardless of what u do, is basically going to be in general 2 ish minutes of someone entering a world u facilitate for them through vibration. a moment of reality shifting to one where the flavor of your perspective is now part of

when writing a synth melody, this is what i think about. after being introduced, where does the synth player go? where did he put the synth? does he pick up another instrument? was it just a backing track? he normally wouldnt disappear randomly but it could be a creative choice -it makes it grounded
