taking a solo in a jazz combo/ensemble always feels so unfair 😭 horn players can just focus on improv, but keys?? we gotta improv AND accompany ourselves. why can't anything be easy.....

is it just me or does nostalgia sometimes feel haunting? like... it's a lovely reminder of a pleasant time/perspective long past, yet it's persistently haunting that you'll never find it again. a snapshot of an era you deeply crave to return to, permanently out of reach. anyway happy thursday LMAO

very frustrating that none of my favorite activities are reliably lucrative. could've been passionate about computer science or finance, but i'm cursed to be passionate about music and learning scottish gaelic instead

alright, bandcamp, maybe say that BEFORE i write them all out rather than get saucy w me after the fact

A screenshot from the Bandcamp website where I'm given the option to add multiple genre tags. After entering around 8 tags, I receive error text saying "OK, settle down. Please limit yourself to 5 tags, no more."

today's thing to overthink: to find work, what is the ideal ratio of "able to write music in any style/genre" to "having my own distinct artistic sound"

"wà" is another form of "to be" (location) but "wá" means "to come"! so many important words are the same with small changes in pitch or vowel pronunciation!!! it's a fun challenge, and it reminds me of learning mandarin, but the essentials all being so similar is an immediate steep learning curve

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 26/12/2024

i love learning languages, but my own tribal language (yoruba) is probably the toughest that i've studied. "ni" is a form of "to be", but "ní" means "to have" AND "in/at" "mo" is regular "i", but "mọ" is "to know" "n" is the negative form of "i", but "ń" is the present progressive tense marker

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 23/12/2024

ofc, "bad" in an artistic sense is ridiculously subjective and amorphous but that somehow doesn't stop me from being afraid of it. in fact, that makes it all the more frightening because i can't see "bad" coming until it's suddenly here

my teacher brain is infecting my artist brain teacher brain: do thing in a way => develop habit artist brain: write bad music => develop habit of writing bad music i'm too afraid to make things because they might be bad!! i gotta write a ton of music and get better!!!

i've seen a lot of negativity on this in the past few years but i'm gonna be honest..... i love "wonderful christmastime". it's one of my season faves. the synths are fun and it's goofy and it puts a smile on my face. forgive my whimsy

this takes a lot of inspo from animal crossing OSTs, btw! - pop dominant voicings (sus11 or sus13 slash chords, e.g. Fmaj7/G or Bb/C) - unresolved (often dominant function) chords sustained on weak beats - tonicization/modal interchange, pedal tones analyzing and writing it is so much fun...

Proud to have worked on the score, sound design, mix, and title theme for this episode of Animation Station at @shockwaveanimation.bsky.social! I'm especially proud of the title theme; such a rewarding end product. Here's a little peek behind the scenes! #indieanimation | #2danimation | #composer

i'll always have a soft spot for shows i grew up with like little bear, charlie & lola, miss spider's sunny patch friends, max & ruby, etc. and that lives on in the widespread appreciation of bluey! shows that have something for parents, too. plus they're just super soothing hahaha

If you made it down here, I'm wishing you success and artistic fulfillment. I kinda just wrote this for myself (I gotta do that more on socials), but if you related to this, I hope it helped to show you're not alone. It's rough out here, and we've gotta be rough back. Good luck!! (7/7)

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

But y'know; everything's a journey. It takes practice to focus on your own enjoyment and identity as an artist and less on a vague perceived perfection. Hopefully over time I can keep practicing to just be more open about who I am and what I like to make and what my work sounds like! (6/7)

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

It's difficult to curtail this, and I've tried many times to just let myself be okay with my work not looking great or sounding great for the sake of just creating/experimenting. But it's tough! Especially with the job market I'm trying to break into, it feels like every little thing matters. (5/7)

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

So when I make things, it's a TON of effort to perfect it as much as I can (within the timeframe I have, if applicable). So while everything that I do is charged with an insane amount of thought, my progress is inconsistent and exhausting. And that strangles the enjoyment out of what I do. (4/7)

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

This is both in regards to whatever I generally write on social media and specifically WORK that I post (and it's why I rarely actually post anything haha). I'd like to create something new every day, even most days. But it's exhausting to put all of my work under such strict scrutiny. (3/7)

100

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

Not only am I afraid of feeling/"realizing" that I'm not as skilled as I'd hoped, but also putting it out and being perceived as less skilled than I'm capable of. The perception angle primarily comes from anticipating potential employers' eyes, but I do also consider my peers to some extent. (2/7)

100

yemi kanmi 👑🎵🔊 @yemikanmi.com · 03/12/2024

Feelin vulnerable; maybe others can relate to this: My biggest artistic struggle at this point in my career is letting myself try. I'm deathly afraid to let myself create anything potentially less than my best work yet. 🧵 (1/7)

The game industry is rough right now for a lot of people. It sucks. Business can be brutal. But I don't believe that means WE should be brutal. Times like these are all the more reason to be kind to one another. If we give up our humanity in order to survive, what is the point of survival?
