Huge addiction backlash on sunday, smoked almost a bundle of cigarettes and drank a lot of coffee. Today i am doing pretty well though, meaning i feel good... More clearminded for some reason.

4 am currently, but my goal is 12 pm to 7,7:30 am

@Bojan You say this because it is difficult that your family respects your desitions? Yes, you may be playing the victim, but anything that is weakening you just drop it here. You certainly can draw boundaries with your family members. If not, what else would you do? Just think about the things that you can do to actualize your life. Forget about the impossibilities. Good look.

Yesterday i downloaded "lmms", a program similar to fl studio but it's free code. It has all you need to work with plugins and samples -midi-. https://soundcloud.com/siroseinana/jumping-clouds This is the second track i made. I plan to do much more. Basically having in mind something that i would like to do musically and then trying to acomplish it. This song was fun to do. The only thing that keeps me from doing amazing music is laziness.

Genre: doomcore https://everynoise.com/engenremap-doomcore.html this is pretty cyberpunk

In my opinion, it is the red to blue ascension. You gotta communicate with a fairly amount of agression, not with the intention to hurt, but because they will only understand most things if there is violence in the middle. And they must see that you believe in a betterment of society. Requires mastery as f**

Idea for enhancing experience of music #1 Listening different kind of music. Exploring with openmindedness https://everynoise.com This is a map with quite a few music genres of the world. You can click in the genre title and it will reproduce a song demo of that particular genre. If you put your mouse over the title it will show you the name of the song example. Some genres that I found new to me: forro instrumental (the word "forro" means a "condom" and an insult also in my country) classic russian rock nepali indie chinese instrumental (iconic) laboratorio - i like this one a lot - probably, in the future, when people ask me what kind of music do i compose, i will say "laboratorio" Though most of them are just subgenres of pop, rock, indie, punk, etc. The mainstream. So it's a challenge to find radical new stuff.

Doesn't a special mask solve this problem?

I don't feel the LP statment is "solid" as i have little experience. But it is related to creating audiovisuals, my own style. I am also considering to be a teacher that helps people guiding them to express their own voice through music. My zone of genius is composing music, and i want to include visuals as well. So for now, my LP statment would be something like: "Creating amazing audiovisuals that let people see the beauty of creativity in art" I don't know how it would generate money by the way i am just focusing on being so good they can't ignore you P.S... what is yours?

Dan Mayo A drummer who I'm absorbing stuff from

Its 23:40, about to go to bed and today i've realized something important: The fruits one wants come from the work spread over time. Not from an isolated moment of hard work; an attitude I have deeply ingrained. This kind of teachings are easy to know. In my case, virtually all my life i've been knowing this one, but I'm just beginning to integrate it. Plus i am also mastering the art of cutting off the infamous distraction habit. For example, in order to sit for an hour in the morning tomorrow (and from now on), i have put a lot of signals with clothes and written sheets pointing to my meditation mat so when i wake up tomorrow i won't have chances to forget about it. A sheet on the mat says: ¡Green tea and let's meditate! Objective: To meditate every day one hour in the morning after waking up and one hour before bed. I keep taking cold showers every day. A lot of improvement made. I found the following quote over there and really liked it, it expresses what i feel about this discipline: "Feels like I understood the trick with cold showers again. It is about opening up to fully and embracing the resistance instead of clenching ones teeth and just pushing through." From "My meditation Journal" of @Thittato

Have I try the excercises I invented yet? No. I want to but no done it yet. Resistance i guess. Fear of frustration. But anyways, the wanting to create something amazing is still there. 3 days have passed since i started this journal so is not a big procastination. Yesterday i started "modern armony" with a music professor. I want this person to be my mentor. He is the guy i mentioned before in my other journal. I already know him a bit and he has a lot of knowledge and passion. Before the next class with him im gonna re-read the mentor section of the book "Mastery" by R. Greene. We didn't embody the roles yet, its a matter of time and correct decisions from my part. He needs to embody the confidence of a mentor. I intuit he would love it. Both of us will grow from a dynamic mentor-apprentice relationship. I gotta keep showing interest. Social intelligence is a necessary skill in this process. Being able to abandon the naive perspective and to embrace a realistic one.

First post on brainstorming different small bets (mini projects) in which one has to compose musical pieces within certain rules. Inviting others to post their ideas as well. Idea #1 - For drums - the idea behind this exercises is to develop better skills at coming up with new beats Producing 20 different beats using any tempo and time signature. 20 beats to put some number. The idea is that one experiments more variations until boredom. Use songs with drum bases that you like to get ideas. Call it stealing if you want. Important: divide the 20 beats in 2 categories: simple and complex, whatever that means for you. Or better yet: use the questions i wrote in the previous post -see above- to make them. Idea #2 - Again, producing 20 different beats but this time with drums and electronic beats. A combination of both. The phases in this exercises would be: first to create the beat, second practicing it in the instrument until it sounds good, and third recording everything and mixing. Idea #3 - This one would be like the mother of the previous two. This exercise consist of producing two songs using three different beats each one. The structure, bridges and every detail will be free from rules so you can unleash compositive creativity. For example you can add effects in the recording, creating a build up and then exploding, etc. But the main character of the songs will consist of three distinctive beats. Idea #4 - editor - not clear yet, but probably something similar to the anterior ones but with added voice. I don't know how and i will start with the previous exercises so i can imagine better this idea.

The heart of the beats ¿What personality does a particular drumbeat have? ¿How many personalities can I create with the beats? ¿What emotion do they express? ¿What are its relatives? ¿Where do they come?

Studying and aplying concepts of the book "Mastery" by R. Greene into my practices is a must do habit. Idealy this would be a daily practice to all the different activities i want to do. A concept extracted from the book: Chapter.Keys to Mastery/Step Two/Part C Using the current. That is the dialogue between our thoughts and reality. The constant flow of trial-error and improving. Scientific method in other words.

But, as the title says, people pleasing is a different thing, right?
