Still a tiny potato no matter what

Posted by zybor - September 2nd, 2020

15 years ago: What if I could be great one day like Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer...

The sad 2020: Actually fuck that, I'm still a fucking loser stuck on this funky site!

What's that feeling? Jealousy? Envious? Depression? Admiration? ALL OF THEM, YOU MF

No matter what my followers tell me how nice is my stuff, no matter how many friends told me my work is unique, it could never change the fact that I'm still a loser who stuck on this community and can't go elsewhere. Not because of my work suck, but it doesn't fit the type of industry music demanded. I make stuff because I wanna express myself, not wanting to bend to certain rules or requirement.

The fact that I even made it into NGADM and NGUAC latest rounds is pretty telling and took me by surprise, because my work are not the type that fits conforming music for affluence contests. My work are for the weirdos like me who enjoy extremity in sound design and experimentation. Still, I don't think I'd go far with such work because, again I don't ever fucking want or need to do industry standard music. I don't need my work to sound nice or right, because those are borintg.

I want it to be unique. To leave long lasting effect in anyone who's brave enough to enjoy it.

... I guess that's why I'm still a tiny potato, even on this site. :(

We're all just mobile flesh potato's with different brain waves pulsating around
We'll all either age and rot like one, or go splat in spectacular fashion

Potato and yam are friends

HEY! You were just born in the wrong era. If you were around Ireland from 1845 to 1849, people would die to have you!

In today's day, this reminds me of what Josh Homme had once said "If you wanna be famous, then it's okay if the music is fake, because fame isn't real."

At least I'd be helpful to the world and be something that tried to prevent a genocide (Irish Famine was man-made by British Empire)

Thanks for the honest words. Sorry for that review. I honestly don't know how to leave an interesting review like normal people do. I guess from now on I'd leave a one-liner :3

@Mooke one-liner's are boring. Your latest review was actually my favorite of yours. I appreciated the imagery that you provided. I should be the one to apologize if I made you feel regretful of it.

Don't worry about it :)

I like to read everything you write.

It made me smile to see that you made it into later rounds of competitions.That means other people are enjoying your music more than you expected they would. It's nice to see changes in tastes and people opening their minds and ears to music that isn't "Standard"TM or whatevs. So so much about music is subjective and can't be so easily categorized. You do you, potato!!!

zybor 2020-09-05 21:44:49

Thank you for your kind words. :)

You're always so positive, it's so nice to read what you wrote.

Humanity is a temporary event in the history of the universe. We're only surviving on our space ship we call "Earth", and we sometimes we don't realise that it's all going to end at some point. We're not really important. And if we're not important, then whether you're famous or not becomes kinda irrelevant.

If you're a potato, humanity is a potato field.

Normally I'd try to come up with some witty response to something like this, but damn you really hit my soft spot.

Well said lol.
