Upsetting my whole family and putting everyone I know against me (a meandering piece by cro)

Much to the disapproval of my family and everyone I know, I think avant-garde jazz is brilliant. Granted, I've only started getting into Sun Ra recently (and jazz in generally a few months ago) but I think it's incredible.

It started late 2021 when I was discovering the harsh noise scene. I loved the strangeness of it all and the fact that there was a whole community on the internet surrounding it. It was enlightening to know that the internet was big enough to cater to this specific niche, and even if you hate the concept of harsh noise - you can't deny that it's fascinating that whole communities would gather around to celebrate such a thing. But I found that people liked it for many reasons. Some found it catered to something that helped them relax, and for others it was to fill up empty space. Some thought it was fascinating to break all musical convention. I thought it was brilliant to see so many subgenres spawn from something I had originally believed to be static. Harsh noise, drone, tape noise, cut up, melodic, rhythmic. It was cool. Then I discovered the other side of noise music, a kind of 'noise inspired' corner of the genre. Here I found noise rock, pop and hop - all genres I have grown to love. In particular I took interest in the music of the noise rock duo "Lightning Bolt" with their strange tones and aggressive drums, the noise hop artists "Clipping" and "VoidDweller" and (though briefly) the music of noise pop duo "Black Dresses. Anyway, I'm getting side tracked.

On one of these noise music subreddits I found a video that was of a little something called noise jazz - made by sun ra. This video left little impact on me as I was left temporarily intrigued, but to no avail. I would go on to abandon noise music in the next months and focus on rock and hip hop. Then, I would discover the weird world of internet subcultures and that's a whole different tangent that I won't go on to save time (if you've read this far, I've wasted yours enough). This would pique my interest in surrealism which would culminate in me going to an exhibition which revealed me once again to noise jazz. Or surrealist jazz. Doesn't matter. This didn't effect me either. A while later I decide to get mildly invested in jazz and succeed in getting a couple of John Coltrane CDs (awesome guy if you didn't know). Then I buy a book a few months later, on krautrock. This book would compare Sun Ra to Stockhausen (who I think sounds like a dick, but who am I to say?) and then I started listening to Sun Ra.

Oh my god. That was a whole of lot of nothing and recommending a bunch of artists. Now let's take a break to look at who I'd recommend:

Earth (their album Earth 2): it's not exactly noise but it's a wonderful doom drone album and I like that genre name.

Merzbow (Venereology NOT PULSE DEMON): Good album. DON'T LISTEN TO PULSE DEMON FIRST.

Clipping (every single clipping album): I love clipping so much.

Lightning Bolt (Hypermagic Mountain): You're just going to have to listen to me and stick with it, this album truly lives up to its name. A magical experience.

Black Dresses: I haven't listened to that much but Forever in your heart is a cool album.

John Coltrane (Giant Steps): It's a basic pick but it's a classic for a reason.

Sun Ra - Lanquidity: OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD AAAA

The reason I think a lot of people really hate avant-garde jazz is because we hold music theory so close to our hearts that anything different seems like shit. But if you can (and I know this sounds annoying) open your mind and just listen to the textures and composition of Sun Ra, you might just find something cool. If you need any consolidation - death grips sampled him on exmilitary so you know they're good.

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

#writing #art #music #games #things i have to remind myself of daily #anyway ive found those things you're worried about sharing are often the most powerful things you CAN share #i hope you write #<- i would like to replace that tag with something that is less conversational #it makes reblogs awkward #anyway good morning. i have so many things to do today but instead i am crafting a memorial to my partner's best friend in my fanfiction.

regina spektor is a violent zionist, but i don't think it's constructive or honest at all for people to be like "well her art was always bad anyway." some terrible people have made great art. This idea that artists with unsavory morals can't make good art (1) only feeds into some people's mindset that if they dislike something, that MUST mean there is something ideologically wrong with it, and (2) some people then take longer to realize the true colors of their favorite artists because... good artists can't be ethically bad right?? and so they hang on to their faves and pretend they are so righteous and defend their every move when sometimes. sometimes you just gotta accept that your favorite art was made by somebody you don't agree with, and you have to identify how much you are willing to support someone like that and what lines you have that can't be crossed

#personally i've stopped streaming regina spektor because i don't want her to financially gain from my support #and i also can't get myself to listen anymore to her music that i've already previously purchased just bc i've been so turned off by her #like as a person #but she's had some bangers and i mourn for them #on a smaller scale like. doja cat for example. love her art. not sure about her as a person #but it hasnt crossed the line for me personally and so i continue to listen to her music #somebody shut me up

my most recent random thing ive been thinking about is the idea that Doctor flirts with Rose in gallifreyan the way some people flirt with their partners in their home language even though their partner doesn't speak it and i have been obsessed with this thought ever since

#doctor who #tenth doctor #10th doctor #rose tyler #dw fanart #doctor x rose #tenrose #timepetals #dr who #doctor who fanart #dw #also who cares what gallifreyan sounds like #it wont stop me from thinking about this #also the hc that it sounds musical just makes it cuter #gallifreyan #he says things in it that he would be scared to tell rose in english #ten x rose #northernfire art

TWO THANGS

when I say "love" with no descriptors, I don't mean romantic by default

when I say "art" with no descriptors, I don't mean visual by default

#relevant to my recent posts . everyone should live like this in my opinion but life isnt perfect.......... #adddna #I'll admit I tend to give visual art examples because I enjoy making visual art meself #but i say art and mean writing and music and sculpture etc #and i say love and mean the general concept of humans caring about each other a whole whole extra lot

Zorella, the centaur pop queen ✨

Thank you to everyone who helped me by voting on her final design in the poll from last week! I'm so so so happy with how she turned out 🥰

#I imagine her music sounds something like a happy medium between Sza and Ashnikko :3 #but maybe more EDM #her style is very raver girl so it fits #it was pretty funny designing basically a lingerie harness for a horse body LMAO #that was actually what inspired her design #I was thinkin about how it would be cool to try to combine strappy harness-y raver girl fashion with horse tack #I'm deffo gonna draw her more bc I already have so many fashion ideas for her #also I've realized that I rly love doing graffiti designs lol I got carried away with her name #it probs distracts the eye too much in the composition but w/e it was fun 😂 #my art #character design #original character #OC #centaur #OCs #eye strain

I had the idea of the brothers sharing their music tastes with each other. Then it turned into this.

In case you can’t read my handwriting the songs are:

-“Black Bear Road” by C.W. McCall

-“Lay All Your Love On Me” by ABBA

-“Candy Paint” by Post Malone

-“Numb” by Linkin Park

-“Hurt” by Johnny Cash

(Also to be clear, Floyd is happy that Branch has similar tastes in music, not that he’s sad.)

(Also also, I think John Dory would have a complicated history with country music since I love the idea of JD and Delta Dawn being exs lol)

(Also also also Poppy gave Branch the boom box, that’s why is has some stickers on it)

Listening to dbhc Etho’s playlist got me thinking about Joywave’s Destruction again, and even though I talked a little bit about this scene last year, I never really properly got to tell what exactly happened here… So, this is how it starts: Doc and X try to get Etho back online at the start of season 9 after his tragic shutdown at the end of season 8. Haunted and glitched out over the Last Life memories that made him shut down, Etho wakes up not… quite feeling like himself. Complications ensue.

Most of the words written here are lyrics from the song— HIGHLY recommend y’all give it a listen to see the full vision here >:]
