hi im fucking obsessed with orbweaving and your other album & EP.

im so curious about your creative process- is there anything you can share about how u go about songwriting, finding your style, collaborating vs working independently? do u produce any of your own stuff? sorry too many questions ok ily bye

Hi thank you sm for listening 🥹

1. As far as songwriting goes, I can go a few ways. The thing that happens most often is phrases or lines or choruses, etc. come to me independently, randomly throughout the day. I write them down all in one place. Later on, this could be days after, or a year after, I take all of the phrases and lines that work well, with each other, thematically and string them all together into a song. Kind of like picking berries from a bunch of different plants, and then afterwards, putting all of the different berries in their own buckets. Does that make sense? Sometimes I can write a song in one day, sometimes it takes me two years to write a song. Regardless, whether not, I have actual lyrics or something, I tend to think of concepts for songs way before anything is on paper, when I’m developing an album, especially. Like, I know that X album is going to have a song about XY and Zand I keep that in mind when things come to me.

Finding my style has been predicated on years and years of obsessive listening. Music, particularly the kind of music I listen to, is my autism special interest. I tend to have two different kinds of influences, textural influences: Slowdive, my bloody valentine, Godspeed You black Emperor, grouper, duster. And then I also have a influences that “teach”me more about lyrics and general songwriting. Carissas’s Wierd, Giles, Corey, Lisa Germano, Songs Ohia/ Jason Molina, Low. Some of these artists can fit into both camps. It sounds really cliché, but I tend to think of the artists that help me develop my sound less as influencers and more as “teachers”,as much as listening to bands and artists I love is just a part of daily life, catharsis, and such, I am also learning, even if it doesn’t feel like it. As far as finding my style goes, Knowing what to do with everything I’ve learned, it’s been a lot of years of sitting up in my room and fucking around on my guitar. Knowing what sounds good, doing what doesn’t work well. I don’t consider myself a technically proficient guitarist, but I consider myself very emotionally proficient. When it comes to instrumentals, I’d much rather engender feelings of loss or heartbreak or nostalgia or devotion, rather than composing something “impressive”. Though the common denominator in all the music I’ve made is an ethereal type of sound, it continues to evolve. The self titled, and the violet EP were very classic shoegaze, the releases, before that, many of which I’ve taken off the Internet, are much more arcane, sometimes “folky” form of that. The material for Orbweaving, and the material for the solo LP I’m releasing this year still have moments of a heavy layers and lots of ambience— but there’s also some more sparse moments, more of a “slowcore” kind of deal. I really want to move towards having my vocals more so front and center, as I become more confident in both my singing, and my songwriting.  I was born into a family where everyone was naturally impressive singers, and it just so happened that I was the only one that wasn’t, so a lot of my older music was subconsciously, built around, hiding my voice. As I continue to develop it, it feels good that I can remove a veil of two if that makes sense.

Working with others, is relatively new to me, when I was in high school and college, I never really joined anyone else’s band (aside from an industrial band I was in for about a month) and though I had a live band playing for me much of the time, all of the compositions we’re done by me. I honestly used to tell people that Vyva was “a band” because it seems like people respected me a little bit more versus if I promoted it as a solo project. I was a band Kind of a control freak and that way, so working with Madeline opened up my mind a lot.  I’m much more in love with the idea of collaboration now. Since working with her in summer of 2021, i have done live guitars for a couple SRSQ tours, and have been working on some of the guitars for Ethel Cain’s records—so working on Orbweaving opened up a lot for me mentally. For me, collaboration is a lot about relinquishing, having faith in the other person or other people you’re working with. It can be really hard, but I’m glad I’ve started moving towards that because it feels wonderful.

Everything up until “Orbweaving” I produced at home, the only thing I needed someone else’s help with was mastering. Me and Madeline did a lot of mixing together when I was in New Mexico, but in the following year, she finalized all of the mixes on her own. The upcoming solo LP, l enlisted the help of a producer to record me in a studio and mix the record. Also to record drums (the instrument I feel the least confident with, used to do all of it digitally) and some of the bass. The process, pandemic obstacles included, took about two years. I’m only just getting it remastered, because I wasn’t happy with the first round. Some of the guitars I recorded on my own at home, and there are three features on the record (teehee) that for recorded by the vocalists at their respective houses and places of living. In general, though, very much my first foray into having someone else take the reins on my own record. For the next album, which, because the solo LP has taken so long, I have almost completely written, I want to do a mix of a studio work with a producer, but also try to get as much recording done at home as I can. I have a lot to relearn when it comes to mixing my own music.

Okay so I am going defend jarah B even though ... I pretty agree with everything everyone’s saying about it being too rush... the cheating was not it and the only thing that made it really work was the fact that Chase and Maddie were literally made for each other. BUT I think it’s implied that they’ve known each for a while, small island and all. I kind of think they were it was being implied that they had been having this sort of bantery argumentative type relationship for however long he was working on the boat. It was also implied that John B had a bit of a subconscious crush on “so ya know, I’ve seen her around” *he says starring longingly at her while she stands pointing at the sea in a flowery sundress, honey colored hair flowing in the wind*.... etc etc you know get the picture. And then you can tell by the way sarah interacts with him that she’s definitely intrigued by him, she wants him to know it wasn’t her who ratted him out, she insists on helping him on his “mission” ( my PLTC brain cites part of this interest as her wanting to know what the big deal was about kiara’s best friends, also explains why she feels so comfortable around him to start with, if he was kiaras friend he has to be at least somewhat trustworthy) now I hate the cheating and I have no excuse for that. She should have broken with topper as soon as she got with John B but the start of their relationship definitely comes down to their two sappy personalities being in an obnoxious honey moon phase. But once everything starts to go to shit I think really latch onto each other because John B just discovered the truth abt his dad and literally almost got murdered. These are traumatic things for anyone let alone a sixteen year old and for Sarah, her whole WORLD crumbled. She had to choose between her family and the truth/“right thing” which was not making John b go to jail for a murder he didn’t commit. The way ward was grabbing her in the plane scene was pretty shocking, especially since she had such a close relationship with him and trusted him so much. I’m pretty sure he slammed her head against the wall one point even, he wasn’t really trying to hurt her but I did think he did accidentally hurt her. And then her brother literally murders someone in front of her and she clearly wasn’t close with rose. As much as I HATE the “I’d rather die than be without you” line cuz it was cringe AF but I understand why she felt like John B was her only lifeline and she was willing to die to keep from being forced back under her fathers roof.

Anyways a lot of things could have been better with their relationship and I really wish they’d stretched the whole plot of obx out for long but 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s my take Jarah b

Okay I absolutely love this take and I very much appreciated being challenged on this 😅

I totally agree with all points made here. There’s a reason why Jarah are such a successful pairing and I’m not at all denying that they’ve had brilliant chemistry and beautiful moments together. The ‘rush’ of their relationship can definitely be explained by their collective trauma and the fact that they are rebellious teenagers who fall hard and easily for each other.

I suppose I struggle to find their relationship appealing because a) I don’t relate to either of their lives/situations, b) I’m not a teen anymore and don’t look back at that naivety fondly, and c) I’m not a fan of cheesy romance. I watch OBX for the adventure, the thrill, the vibes, the suspense, and most of all the friendships. And I felt like a lot of Jarah scenes were unnecessarily dramatic, cringey, and drowned out those elements that I love about the show. The cheating was ugly and their scenes were timed badly in overlapping with the Pogues being in trouble, so that stressed me out too. It also felt unrealistic that John B would just leave behind his childhood friends and Sarah her whole family within one day of (understandably, crazy) chaos. That’s why I usually skip their scenes when I rewatch the season.

That being said - absolutely ALL the power to anyone who ships them! I think most people do, actually! I would love for season 2 to change my thoughts on their relationship and individual characters. And I’d love to hear other people’s perspective on them, because it’s an interesting aspect of the show how much the opinion on them seems to differ. 💛

#they are the main couple after all #ily carissa #you should’ve written the show #then i would’ve loved them 😅 #ask #john b #sarah cameron

[rudystree]

Okay but fr tho the way people will find a way to blame ANYTHING that they even slightly don’t like about the fandom on Elaine. Even it’s things she has .. literally no control over??? Like her follower account? The people aren’t not following Deion because they follow her lol. She gained a following because she was literally living with the cast and chase even mentioned her in an interview, so they found insta and there found bts pics BAM she’s suddenly got thousands more followers than she did before because people are hopping that she’ll post more of those cast pics. Then rudy starts commenting on all her pictures and speculation of their relationship starts to grow and videos are made on Tik tok that bring casuals flocking to her ig to see for themselves. And right there she’s gained another couple thousand, (I’m guessing idk how many people followed her at Tim don’t quote me lol) at the end of the day her follower count comes down to two things.

1. Bts pictures of the whole cast

2. A relationship with Rudy

If she felt comfortable posting more pics of Rudy the way mariah does madison I’m sure she would gain even MORE followers.

None of that has ANYTHING to do with Deion, who had a small role on the show that people didn’t even dislike they just .... didn’t care about. He doesn’t post pictures of the cast and therefore doesn’t as many followers as Lilah, Mariah, and Elaine but that’s not their fault. And hopefully with season two kelce will have a larger role that will bring Deion more of the attention he deserves!

as always, you summed it up perfectly.

no one needs to like her or her relationship with rudy... but it’s just so rude and unnecessary to constantly put her down for no reason.

she clearly can’t control the fandom’s reaction to her. but imagine having to constantly read that you’re not worthy or important enough.

#deion was such a random comparison imo #but alas #it’s just so unfair #ily carissa #everyone read this and then read it again #ask #elaine chats

[radbirdsheep-blog]
