  1. Yeah they'll tell you whatever. My daughter is two and watches (and love) The Simpsons,

    (awesome for kids/biology), and other kid stuff like Curious Gorges. She doesn't spend her day on the tv, but I've always watched tv while eating and I'm not gonna stop because I'm a parent. Not claiming that tv is good, but she's so brainy, she reasons like a 4 yrs old. I mean, how many 2 years old know the entire alphabet, already know more words in english then me when I was 8, that the hearth pumps the blood, how babies are made and differenciates metal and jazz ? haha.. I could go on and on, ..havin a kid is awesome.

    Oh, she still beleives in Santa Claus, I don't think that educating equals crushing dreams ... quite the opposite.

    I guess I'm a bad parent because we watch tv, but she doesn't at daycare from 8 to 5.

    edit: kid tv shows nowdays are TOTAL SHIT btw.

  2. My daughter is not yet 3 and always requests metal in the car (lamb of god, children of bomdom, etc). Dunno if I'm bad parenting, but she's awesome. I'll be daddy a 2nd time in february:)

    For the milk, I don't understand those who don't breastfeed their own babies. One on my gf's friend had a baby a few months ago, and she said her boobs were sexual toys, not for a baby. You would expect more maturity coming from an highschool teacher...

    My gf almost gave up tho, she wasn't able to get the milk during the 1st week, but once open it rains haha.

  3. Hahaha, guess I was a little.

    I'm building some templates but all I have for now is Miroslav, so for each instance of Miroslav, I have 16 instrument slots.

    I made one with strings only, one with percussions only, etc

    But I'm trying to make one more general with a little bit of everything.

  4. How do you compose ?

    One of my colleague loves the "Djent" thing and, that reminded me of some kind of system I made for myself centuries ago where I would put everything as 16ths and write grooves this way:

    4/4 : [4.1.4.3.]

    Where a dot equals a silence with a lenght of a 16th, and the numbers equal the uninterupted number of 16ths in a row. "tatatata ta tatatata tatata "

    You can loop it and you have a groove, which I'd call, a 4143

    Certainly, that was not any kind of official method, but enabled me to think of grooves and stuff during the day, and I could just take a piece of paper and write it down in 2 seconds.

    I had other tricks too, I'll post them later I guess, but...

    Do you have develloped any kind of method on your own that you could share ?

  5. Plan to work my way into a company as an electro/automation tech but just for the rates, probably not to end up boss/pencil-pusher. Wanna keep learning and work on the feild.

    Musically, that above job will enable me to purchase the tools I'd like to have to devellop my secret craft and, also, keep me sane. I think I'd be sad if I did music for a living.

    Finally, I'd like to get good enough to maybe do vgm soundtracks or shows, but really I'd like to play live shows with a my own stuff (metal band). Tours ? Nah.. ocassional festivals and stuff yes. I'd like to devellop on YouTube as well.

    That's about it lol.. I'll soon be 30, I'm not dreaming of living of my music anymore.

  6. For some reason I think some of my music is awesome on some aspects yet sucks on other (a good compo with terrible production or the exact inversion). I never share anything either and what I "have on the net" is not what I am musically. Most of my good stuff is incomplete songs or sketches, like way over a thousand. I accept more my music than before as some sort of "discharge system" and melting pot of thoughts/emotions, but whenever I show it to people I'm always shy/uncertain.
