new production space demo for a shortened version of "sorry"
----------
i'm working on a set of songs for my friend ben's new band and then using that template to do microkorg midi mapping and vocoder stuff. this is a print of a new prodstyle map for my sister alofa's band, ikea graveyard. i built these drums, guitar and bass for her upcoming project from a production group template i wrote for ben that i'm trying to really get feeling perfect.
i finally found a ride so i'm going back to carolina next month to get my electric guitar, horns, printer, paints and merch out of storage. im excited to see that after a few months in a more stable environment with my new epileptic vitamin regimen that my psychological health is improving. instead of my expected monthly tonic-clonic seizure, i had a debilitating migraine instead that only had me away from the instruments and mixing board for one day. to everyone keeping up with me here and listening to my music, i cannot thank you enough. to everyone waiting on shirts and tapes, i got you. i just need a little more time to get things to my new apartment.
making money online through music is safest for me right now due to my epilepsy. im seriously broke and need help with groceries. if you can help me make it to the end of this month, thank you.

the organ here is a microkorg voice i created after making the most basic 1 oscillator sound with lfo detail that i could. i call this the "sinewav organ" that i use as a blank voice template to create new korg voices. i've been using the microkorg for about ten years now and i've been through the manual and horrifying preset sounds so many times.. so..
the last two months i've been creating my own manual and rewriting all of the awful basic techno voices on the microkorg. i'm planning to use my new thrifted cassette player and some remastered percussion samples to create a new multi-textured drum machine+live drum sample set for a new darkwave/house project. i'm also going to redo more old bulldog eyes songs more like "the old way" i did them. it'll include and combine classic drum samples that music lovers recognize with percussion samples i recorded and produced myself.
the microkorg's vocoder has two inputs, so i'm planning to retexturize the sample being processed by input 1 with the sound/texture being sent to input 2. i have a really serious pink noise generator and a very cool image-to-harshnoise generator that i plan to print to tape and then run thru the vocoder from the cassette player. seriously can't wait to get thru with this stuff after planning and drawing it all out the last few weeks in my notebook.

im having financial problems after my paypal was locked last year. people bought so many shirts and tapes so fast when i was evicted in august 2022 that i was labelled as "suspicious" and my account was frozen with all of my money in it. this has honestly messed up my entire workflow for more than a year (and i was already trying to get on track) and i'm still trying to get back on track. my genuine apologies to everyone waiting on merchandise orders.
a few months ago i moved all of my things (all the merch stuff, printing table and printer) out of storage into an airbnb i was renting. the guy i was renting from was an older musician who i did some audio/video production work for who seemed chill at first. after he saw the attention i was getting online and he heard my music, he wanted me to do a greatest hits type compilation for him. after a visit home to family he came back and told me "he wasn't looking for tenants" and kicked me out. this was after he told me he had people living there for six-to-eight months.. this dude had me spend almost six hundred dollars to run back and forth across carolina, get my things out of storage and i paid to junk old furniture.. just to kick me out after six weeks? even though he told me i could move in and offered me a job..
i'm recovering from a lot of actually incredible mistreatment the last few years as an epileptic and i hope people can understand that its actually destroyed me emotionally, socially and financially. when my leasing agency took me to court the judges dismissed the cases immediately both times and seemed very openly disgusted by the people i was renting from. my leasing agency told me that since i'd broken my arm from a seizure that year that they'd help me with a payment plan.. and then evicted me with police force with no prior notice.. after we'd already met concerning late payment scheduling since i'm considered disabled in some sense. the stress and anger from this is what led to my next grand mal seizure episode which broke my upper left arm purely from the muscle contraction. i'm working hard and thinking hard despite all of that because music is just more important..
if you read this, thanks again.
much love.

i know smth u dont
on a beachside coast
barely floating
did u feel blinded
by light of insight?
a safer late september
dements yr december
im so sorry
im so uptight </3
