    Thanks so much for watching and engaging!
    Hoping that these videos are vaguely useful/inspiring in some way... I've got a bit of a list coming together, but if there's something you want to see from the era covered, or a tutorial on a particular bit of kit I'm using, please shout below!

      I'm actually learning quite a lot and I'm already seeing a bunch of stuff I can use for my own music. Are you planning on doing stuff from another era? I think some Oneohtrix Point Never tracks would be cool

    This goes to show how deceptively simple electronic music is. A lot of trad musicians look at electronic music and think "I could do that easily", but they really couldn't. This is a genuine skill.

    • @bleepsandboops
      @bleepsandboops  9 месяцев назад +6

      Thanks! As a trad musician, this is so true! Very easy to dismiss electronic music as presets and drum loops but it's waaaay more complex than that!

    So good. I originally heard MHARTC in early 1999. My roommate at the time bought it on vinyl and he was at work one night, so I decided to give it a listen. I have no idea how he had heard of BOC, but it really did change my life and this is by far my favorite song. The fact that it’s so short just leaves you wanting more.
