I think there is a contradiction at the heart of this. Like quasars are the brightest objects in the universe, but at their heart is a super massive black hole, essentially the darkest.
As matter gets sucked into the black hole, it becomes super energetic, releasing huge amounts if high energy radiation, becomes brilliant, but once that matter hits the event horizon, it is gone, black, leaving the universe.
Think it is the same with artists - as they get closer and closer to solving their particular riddle, the work they produce is born of struggle, of inquiry, and it gets really bright/good. But once they figure out their particular riddle, they hit the event horizon. Their work is solved, it is figured out, and dead. I really prefer student work to professional work.

Some more TUNA! comment love:
mks: digging it man, really like how that pad/string thing plays off the acid line. Really nice contrast. Not sure about the guitar in the beginning, seems like a bit of a red herring to me. Mix sounds pretty dope. Defo enough of an idea to push this to something a bit more fully developed. At the moment not enough going on for me.
nowaysj: cool man, kinda has a cheesy horror movie vibe going on--and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Loving all the instrument change ups. Simple melody, but all the different patches working out on it sounds nice. Love what it transitions into around 2mins.

Yes, I think so. As you tire, your grasp on english slips, and my grasp on your meaning does the same.
But yes.
Take a lesson from Yahweh, the Hebrew god.
Yahweh is the becoming, the emerging, literally the cuming, the exaltation of being.
The ancient hebrew language is like trendy web naming now, no vowels, only consonants. YHWH, TNGHT.
But, the point is to become what you are. From your own origin. Proceed outward on your own axis. A fountain.

You guys are all on severe amounts of drugs.
I got a tune that's moderately developed that I'll probably submit on Saturday. Assuming I don't get ultra distracted and then listen to it too many times in a row without adding anything and wreck all perspective and desire for progression. Lil jazzy hip hop tune.

I went so jazzy I accidentally switched keys. All my instruments are playing outside, which makes them all inside the key a fifth up.
My trumpet line playing 9ths is just playing 5ths now and my horns playing 5ths are playing roots
Problems of a harmony hipster. Played too many floaty quartal chords and upper extensions and the ground shifted underneath me. Gotta peg the tent down with some simplicity so it doesn't blow away in the modal winds.
At least now I have an opportunity for a key change. Just gotta change the bass and keys around and boom, reharmonized.

Are you talking about music?
Play a drone of the root of your key as you work, so all lines come home.

Doesn't work on all chords though. For instance, playing a V chord, the root is the fourth which will probably be dissonant with the melody at that instant. Just gotta be careful when spicing up chords that you don't accidentally slip sideways into a different key. It's actually great when that happens sometimes, assuming you can find a pivot chord to get back into your original key. If not, just never play the first section again and stay in the new key. Boom, now you're making "progressive"

That's what they all say. Then one day you find yourself in the sex offender's cell block getting a make over from some fat dude named Jenny.
@Bud...alas the closet I can get to German is my rusty Anglo-Saxon...and since it is a dead language I can't say I actually speak it...
