mynintendonews.comSakurai believes increased AI usage is set to lead to unoriginal and unprofitable gamesSmash Bros and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai has participated in an interview with Japanese news publication Denfaminico Gamer during which the talented video game producer touches on a number of subjects including the growing use of AI in video game development. Mr. Sakurai believes that the increasing use of AI in games design is going to inevitably lead to a slew of unoriginal and unprofitable games flood the market. Here's what he said via machine translation: "19,000 is amazing, but I think that number will increase even more from now on.

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

this is why ur taste is invaluable. because if u ask yourself what music u like, its more than likely that it will fit into a genre, or a set of rules. its not complicated. make it. follow the rules. do it in your flavor.

this paradoxically will create fucking greatness every time. the choice to let go of individual ego stamped onto the piece, is what will grant it the freedom to exist as it is. the rule following just ensure that the material universe will hear what youre trying to say because it will understand the

the kick goes a certain place in hip hop. it goes a certain place in jazz. same for snare. quality is relative to contextual understanding.

@ratdoodle.bsky.social

how the material physical world responds to what you decide to create depends on its contextual understanding of what u are “writing” with your music. if genre is the grammar, what are u literally saying with what genre u are choosing? why?

music is what u define it to be. u have ur opinions, and i guarantee u are taking them for granted when they are your greatest asset. everything is your taste. if someone asked me how to produce id tell them to go study nature. go look at a tree. the more u see, the more you will be able to see

the kick and snare are an institution becuase music is laungauge. youre talking about grammar. you ARE ALLOWED to write nonsense that does not follow grammar. but the “grammar” of music is understood through genre.

point being: the time that goes into what u make is irrelevant. apologies to ur ego. sometimes masterpieces come from years, sometimes from minutes or even seconds. top 40 songs have been made in under a couple hours before. those people that did that were human. u can too be incredible. u r allowed

every great artist saw that ideas were separate from them bc they were the only ones with enough ability to understand that the only reason they were able to do what they were doing was because of the ability they had, which was fundamentally not within their control

interestingly were seeing a resurgence of dance music as the general public longs for physical community outside of online spaces, which is another example of circumstance creating music.

if u are early in ur journey u love to define things. this is that, that is this, but the truth is, u could record a garbage truck, throw it in a daw, reverse it, add a completely abhorrently dissonant drum sample on top and it would probably be the hardest shit anyones ever heard

earnest presence WHILE making the track. because again, all music is, is documented sonic vibration, which is like 33% of our experience of life. id say most of the time the remainjng 66% are devoted to sight and touch. so if someone has eyes closed and not moving, ur song is now their literal world

their PHYSICAL world. so your PHYSICAL being while documenting the song, is IDENTICALLY being duplicated in a “present” sense for the consumer, as if time has not passed. the power of technological advancement has made songs a means for individual exploration and validation thru private listening

the conversation of someones life. a song is a fleeting subtle nudge lost in a sea of playlists. u are a contributor to a sea of playlists that are creating people’s realities and inner beings. what a song is, is a moment that passes as soon as it arrives. it is gone instantly. it is transient.

@ratdoodle.bsky.social

my point is while ur nose deep in the trenches of how ur hi hat is mixed, the consumer washing dishes can barely make out the snare over the noise of daily life. why does your moment deserve someones attention? the only answer to this, in my view, is earnest presence, no matter how that manifests

when writing a synth melody, this is what i think about. after being introduced, where does the synth player go? where did he put the synth? does he pick up another instrument? was it just a backing track? he normally wouldnt disappear randomly but it could be a creative choice -it makes it grounded

3. this is partly 2, but keep everything SIMPLE. what youre making, regardless of what u do, is basically going to be in general 2 ish minutes of someone entering a world u facilitate for them through vibration. a moment of reality shifting to one where the flavor of your perspective is now part of

2. fake band comp: imagine each voice as an intentional human, making decisions about where their fingers go as the song progresses with the other voices - like a band. something thats lost in electronic production is u start editing before u have a chance to get messy. this helps keep it simple too

try to consider the effects of the subtle nuances of an individual’s experience of being a part of a band where they are not the frontman, battling their inner ego of playing the part, wanting attention, but doing what u need to do to serve the vibe. this wrestle is “music”. its why bands feel human

1. assume every single aspect of ur song can have more high end and similarly, u can basically cut off the super low freq of literally everything including the bass and it will randomly make it like 100x better its rlly dumb
