Soulbass

I'm 25 so I understand your feelings/nostalgic about the ps1, especially the sounds and musics that came to ears again, again and again, when you'r stuck at a level doing 10000 attempts. I think music for video games is a very creative place.

Here is an upload : https://www.sendspace.com/file/wvpk8n Breakcore, I've heard of but not a big fan. I'm sometimes confused about many genres around breakbeat, big beat, drum'n bass and sub categories of each... As leo says in the life purpose course "do not consider yourself as a competitor, but a creator", so I refer only on my feelings when it comes to music. I think the reason why we like what we like, and dislike what we dislike, are very personal blend of what we've heard and combined with past experiences. I'm more into aerial/dreamy stuffs, contrasted with ground/raw drum beats (I'm drummer). I suggest we share our mails in PM and continue this discussion, it may not be the purpose of your thread to talk about music production

No no I listen sometime to some hardtek, but I'm more into making oldschool breakbeat and liquid funk. The last artists I've discovered are Ruby Booms, Blackmill, and Aleksander "Savant" Vinter. Do you know Neoretro DX ? It's a nice, free and unrated substractice synth for making chiptune textures.

A song with a self help/actualization theme is something different than a song that personally triggers your will power. Here is one of my fav help/actualization theme music :

Music in my #1 too ! I listen to a lot of different things. I'll send you my songs when it will be done I like your vibes.

I think the solution is acceptance. I mean by acceptance : doing what's most emotionally difficult, so here dealing with criticism. Sometimes I force myself to go cinema to watch a blockbuster (even if I don't like that), because friends called me. It can be a growth experience, plus the opportunity and analyse the film and understand "why did they made these choices in direction/production ?" (just and exemple)

Hi, I checked your soundcloud link on another post, could you talk about your making music process in your journal ? I'm producer too (I don't have anything to share yet).

1. I've discovered lastly the concept of "White Knight" syndrome, I don't know if it's concrete or fashion-psychology, but I'd like to know what are your thinking about it ? I did not watched yet your videos on dealing with toxic relationship and such, so maybe my answers are here. 2. Also I'd like to know your insights on neurosciences, neuroplasticity and neurochemistry. There is a lot of connections to makes with self-help. It's somehow technical, but sometimes it helps to get into how things works, to have a better understanding. (For exemple : the role of dopamine in anticipation of rewards, how to create new connections while a meditation or visualisation exercices, how conscioussness at different levels works related to brain waves...). I feel like turning our greatest weakness into a strengh, is like a way to create connection between an existing neurons-network, and a new one... Thanks !!!

Some people describe very transcendent experiences while meditating in a lucid dream, it's like the brain applify the experience like an accelerating wheel with no friction (it's why nightmares tends to generate more nightmares). If you'r used to meditate eyes closed, keep them open while meditating in a dream, because you could accidentaly wake up yourself by re-openning them in waking life. Once I felt into the "void", I think it was REM stage but witout imageries, I was like conscioussness floating in the middle of nowhere. Some people/yogis can fall asleep and keep lucidity even in deep sleep, that's awesome Digging deep in subconscious, and creative purposes is why I'm interrested in lucid dreams. I'm not experienced nough to do that, but it's possible to invoke characters that represent parts of your subconscious, and talk with them. Also the brain in slow waves makes connections more easily, between aquired knowledges, so it's cool to find original ideas.

Lucid dreaming is one of my favorite topic ! I'm not regular lucid dreamer but I did few. It is a profound experience to realize you are dreaming, and it can occur to your waking life too. The book "Are you dreaming" by Daniel Love is perfect for beginning, while "EWOLD" by Laberge is a little bit more advanced. Check out dreamviews.com, it's a living community
