sensory overload when producing
Re: sensory overload when producing
I too recently became a dad and can't possibly begin to think of the nightmare you have encountered. I suppose words won't help much but my thoughts are with you mate.

Re: sensory overload when producing
music was and still is my escape from the general sensory environment i'm in. i use it to atrophe at least part of myself from the world so i can hold my sanity. just being forced to read billboards, internet ads, listening to people near me talking, hearing footsteps, stresses me out. this is why you'll find me wearing headphones in public when i am alone. i lost my father when i was 16, and music was probably the one thing that kept me from committing suicide at several different points. things got pretty fkked up but i can happily say music was the one shining light, a grace, and provider of solace to me. it is a dimension of infinite proportion for me, and as such makes a great escape from reality.

To me, techno music, with its steady, relentless machine rhythms, is unusually comforting... Because it captures an ideal: the ideal of flawless and enduring efficacy.pafufta816 wrote:music was the one shining light, a grace, and provider of solace to me. it is a dimension of infinite proportion for me, and as such makes a great escape from reality.
Computer programmers know this: machines never make mistakes. This gives them that austere beauty.

I know what you mean, sometimes something falls into place and I feel an urge to get up and wander around the house for a bit in a weird, excited way.oblioblioblio wrote:Does anyone else get to a point when they are working, where you get a sound exactly where you want it, or get surprised by something, and you like it so much that you have to run away?
Some heavy sh!t in this thread, respect to all...
