Everyone needs to stop using 80% of their items in their lives. The majority of products are made by underpaid workers in terrible situations. Perhaps just empathize with folks who can never afford such a product. No need to attack other companies. That’s where I totally went from loving the video to feeling eah…. huh. This is about you and your viewers. One day a person will get a product like this and have the courage to say…”damn this is way overpriced and so many people would buy and get to enjoy this product if it was affordable “ I appreciate your honest effort to be creative. It’s a great channel either way.
"You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant and the trees don't even notice you. You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be striving for your lifestyle. Comparison is the thief of joy so stay kind, keep loving life and enjoy you. Life is all just a big game of perspective, and there are no winners.”
Just adding my heartfelt thanks along with so many others, you took me to church with your message! It's a little disheartening at times to feel we're releasing our heart and soul into the void, but aren't we all compelled to do it, even when it doesn't make sense? Thanks again, I'm truly happy the algorithm decided to place your channel in my feed, I feel like I have just met another creative ally in the fight to put good things into the world! Cheers!
Thank you so much for this masterpiece of music&message. Obstacles are tough sometimes but once made peace with accepting that they will always exist and understanding the path of their simple and toxic ways of getting in our heads, they become almost non-existent. And this video was a perfect message to me on realizing this. Thanks again, much respect. Love hearing your music!
I appreciate your sharing. I'll be honest, I previously felt skeptical of you because of unrecognized jealousy of you and your studio, but we're all on our own path and that's part of what makes us unique. Keep creating and sharing, I enjoy what you do. Much love.
I greatly appreciate your positivity-forward attitude 💜 I always strive for that myself, trying to only comment if I have something positive to say. In this world of music and art, there is no need for personal attacks and negativity; the stakes are low and we are all enjoying a hobby/passion together. And I fully understand that feeling of one negative critical comment being the only thing you can think about for the rest of the day, even if 40 people said they love your song. Working on getting better at dealing with those, though luckily pretty rare for me, I imagine with the volume of comments you get it's pretty tough to deal with. Just keep being positive and spreading the music (on whatever machine it is, who cares!)!
That was a masterclass in how to respond to negativity with authenticity and grace.. wow! And thanks for the reminder; making music is the best way for me too to transform troublesome energies, proven many times, it's just difficult to get started when the mind is preoccupied with complications or stress - but it's so healing to dissolve and flow into harmonic soundscapes like that. Beautiful and inspiring words and music as always, thank you for shining your light so brightly! ❤
I have been following you for a long time and remain happy with what you make and how you make your music. A video like this, in which you show your vulnerability, is very valuable to me. I too am full of insecurities. My head is full of ideas, but I can't get them out. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. This explains a lot. My creativity, but also my insecurity. I continue to watch you and your creativity and tranquility remain an inspiration. It helps to always go one step further. Go ahead and keep sharing this! Thanks!
Thank you for your brutal honesty. It's really refreshing to see someone being so open and humble and it really got to me. I was sort of prepared for the typical fight back or mock style video that I see all the time but you really stepped up and owned it. You have my respect! Edit: In writing this I totally forgot to say that the music was really beautiful as well.
Been watching your channel for a couple of months and I just want to say that I really enjoy the way that you share your thoughts, information and your music. I always walk away with more inspiration and a will to play around with my music. Really appreciate your art, looking forward to the next video!
I've been following you for a while now, and your channel has become my very favorite place to hang out on youtube. Especially lately, the direction your videos have moved towards, talking about the art of all of this and why we make it has helped me find a calm place in myself where I can create without fear. That is the value you bring to this community. Thank you for sharing your art, your philosophy, and vulnerability. This is a perfect response to toxicity. Looking forward to the next video.
You are a genius! First time in the channel and wooow! As an artist to another I can only say, Thank you not for only for teaching us with your great music and videos but this with amazing lesson, and the hardest challenge of every single artist.
Thank you for sharing this video, it seems to me, rare that something so honest, gentle and vunerable is offered on such a platform. I have enjoyed many of your videos, taking inspiration & excitement from them. Regarding the OP-XY product you reviewed recently, it played no small part in my purchasing the unit - I found your demonstration comprehensive & your enthusiasm enjoyable. You make great music, great videos and offer - to those of us open enough to receive it - insight and passion. Keep creating & believing in yourself.
Wise words that come from your heart, dear Oora. I've only come across your channel for a few days because, as an acoustic musician, I'm slowly but surely venturing into electronic music production...Your honest and calm, very personal videos help me get an overview of the huge jungle. You are a great person, keep it up and stay with yourself brother... Expressing your feelings in music is one of the greatest gifts I have been given. Much love to you Manu P.S: you make wonderful music, I don't like Patreon too much, but who knows...;)
I'm marathoning your songs, congratulations on your work, it's fantastic. Don't stop producing, your music conveys a lot of feeling. Stay well friend and congratulations
This resonates immensely with me, and I can imagine many others! I feel a lot of empathy for you receiving that type of attention and, even though it isn’t anything to do with me, I am sorry! Don’t stop creating! I love your art! 🥰
Your words touched me deeply. As did your response. I am very lucky. I rarely feel jealous, though I do feel saddened by the state of humanity and the injustices. From my chaotic upbringing to striving (somewhat successfully) for stability, its been a long life, but one of far less pain than many others I've cared for. I feel I'm blessed in too many ways. But my stupid brain still insists that I'm not good enough. I use music, storytelling and art to ground myself and remind myself of the astounding miracle of simple existence. It is the creative - the act of doing - process that make us human. Our world is full of people who wish to put others down to fill a void. I see all manner of comments but generally ignore the negatives because... well... I'm looking for... I need... The beauty and magesty of human creativity far more than I need negativity and outrage. Your response to your recent situation was magnificent and heart warming. I gives hope for a better way. I wish you stay true, and squeeze every drop of joy from the good fortune you've work so hard to nurture. ❤
Well this probably moved me more than anything i heard in music and YT all last year. The voiceover, the music, the combination, the culmination. I didn't expect what I got when clicking on this video AT ALL. What beauty. 🔥
I find that if people are truly honest, open and sincere that makes them engaging. It also is a good base from which to set out to create engaging art. But, the flipside it exposes vulnerability which there will always be malicious people drawn to attack. It's easier for them to teardown than create. Music is a great place of refuge; but I find it's can be helpful to have more than one outlet - the natural world is another place to just be. And each one makes you appreciate the other more. On that note, I really appreciated the lovely film-like tone to your video - and the tone of the narration was really nice. It was a nice counterpoint to those really beautifully satisfying electro-plastic Perfourmer arpeggios.
Thank you, for everything. Your work means a lot to me. It may resonate in ugly ways for some people and that is but a reflection of themselves. I am happy I get to stand where I stand and be able to appreciate what I appreciate. I am grateful for the work I have out into my life to be able to watch, listen, question, follow and lead. Keep your truth at hand querido. It sounds awesome. It’s a good one ☀️
So amazingly well-put...thanks for a candid perspective into what it looks like to be on a receiving and of a hateful comment (I can totally relate even though my channel very small). Also props on perfectly syncing the duration of playing and talking :)
Thanks for your years of inspiration! I got a Perfourmer and oxi because of your excellent sounds. I know how those negatives feel, I could have 99% like ratio on a video, but I feel the one percent that hated. Grateful that we have the pure language of music to silence the fears.
Federico, I discovered you some time ago talking about making tape loops. I was so enchanted by your genuine passion for what you were doing. I was disgusted by the comments on the OP-XY. It took a lot not to go off on the whole lot of them. It was truly gross behavior on their part. You certainly *do* display an enthusiasm for music and the tools that you create it with. It's infectious. Imagine that, sharing what you love with other people in hopes of inspiring them. Keep at it. Side note: I'm loving the OP-XY, already one of my favorite tools I've ever used.
A dignified and mature response to the verbal and emotional storm of last. You're a good person, Frederico. Don't let them tell you otherwise. You indulge us in your creative world and beautiful music. Billions of people on this planet, and there's always ones that misread your intentions. Don't let them get to you, it's just not worth it. Just continue doing what you do best, for the people that care about it.
Thank you for your open and candid thoughts! I share your thoughts and think it's great that you speak so openly and also make great music :-) Peace and Love from Leipzig
That was one of the most beautiful and honest videos I've seen for a long time. Thank you for your honesty and for daring to share your vulnerabilities. Much love ❤
Loved your message but above all loved your raw and pure performance! I How beautiful it is to completely dissolve in the flow of creating music? I recognised that in you. Keep up the good work.
Enjoying your channel for the unique vibe and perspectives you bring. No way I’m forking out for new te stuff when I still enjoy cheap gear. I’m interested to see what it can do though cos I find the new gear can challenge me to figure out how to do things with the gear winking at me on the shelf.
This is beautiful. Your music is gorgeous and inspirational and I really appreciate you discussing the haters. I've had them too. Anyone will have them that endeavors to be great or at least do something with their lives. It's sad that no one ever informed them about what opinions are or what objectivity or subjectivity is. Oh well. I really enjoy your channel and your music. Keep it up
Your channel is awesome. Love your jams. Ignore the ignorance :) Sadly there is a lot of it in the world. They are usually not that brave in person. Keep it up man 🖤
What a great answer you make with your video. You are inspiring, and a great musician and producer. Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot for all your videos, I have learned so much. The music you have played in this video was really great. The full video content is very inspiring. with love
Thank you so much for your response - it also hurts to watch your videos and then see negative comments appear and your words need to be said. I love your videos showing your workflow and you give fantastic insights into how to create amazing music. It is so hard to be an artist and musician and live from a synth! Peace x
I just wanted to say that I love your channel, especially the recent videos with you just jamming, wonderful music. I appreciate you and what you do, and I am sorry you've had to endure hateful comments. Please know there are many of us who don't comment but love you and what you do
Thank you so much for being honest with your journey and sharing your story with us. Its our personal artistic expression that allows us to cut through the noise and be fulfilled.Much respect and love x
What a an important Video Oora. Thank you for that! Sometimes i see you in Marheinekeplatz, and wonder if its ok to approach you and say thank you for all the content you are giving us. Maybe next time i will.
I took a lot from this video. I've been having a hard time getting things down musically for quite some time now. I saw one of your previous videos and genuinely enjoyed it, but I was scrolling and saw the title/thumbnail to this video and had to dig to find it to watch it. Regardless, you have a sub from me and a lot of the message with this video resonates with me. I used to sit down and things would just flow from the angry or sadness I would experience and I appreciate you brushing the dust and reminding me why I love making music again. Cheers!
Two things that some people overlook: 1 you can't eat gear (trust me, I tried), 2 it's way easier to get a job or save some money to buy a piece of gear than working your ass off while building a channel over the years to get it for free.
Videos like this are why I love your channel. Gear reviews and demos are a dime a dozen these days. These kind of heartfelt, philosophical-leaning and introspective videos are something far fewer people do. Thank you for doing what you do, and for sharing your art and yourself with the world.
Beautifully said. I subscribe to about a dozen synth channels and you are one of the most sincere of the lot, and I truly appreciate that. And this video “seals the deal” on your sincerity. Thank you. I hear you on your feelings of jealousy and sensitively to malcontents. You should know that those folks you may be jealous of do not have your super-power of sharing your ideas, and the the people you call haters are like gnats that you can’t let bother you and can easily be swatted away. I’ll be looking up your Patreon shortly. Peace.
Addendum: I specifically chose the word “malcontents” to refer to those who you called “haters.” I think this is more accurate and defuses the the power behind the word “hate,” and those sniveling, chronically dissatisfied commenters don’t deserved to be risen to the power of hating. In short, in common parlance they are trolls.
I’m so glad you’re sharing this. Yes, of course people can disagree on things, and sometimes it might be important to voice opinions. But the way they are communicated matters a great deal. Every video of yours I see is filled with true love for what you do, and that’s what matters. This one gave me goosebumps and hope for humanity 🖤
I'm actually sipping a refreshing tropical drink and relaxing in a lounge chair underneath the luxurious SHADE you just threw on the haters. Thank you! Haters gonna hate Creators gonna create
Here is a positive comment for you....I appreciate your views and your philosophy and your teachings. The way you can create music on the fly and in the moment makes me a little envious, but I won't let that stop me. We are after all, all the same in the end. But the choices we make on the way to that end is very important. I truly enjoy your videos and your music. Cheers!
Hi Federico, I just watched your video on TH-cam about dealing with haters and hate comments, and I wanted to say how much I resonated with it. Your perspective on staying true to yourself and focusing on the positivity around you was truly inspiring. In a world where negativity can often feel overwhelming, it's so refreshing to see someone approach it with grace and authenticity. You’re creating something meaningful, and the impact you have on your community is evident. Keep doing what you’re doing! For every hater, there are so many of us who appreciate your work and the heart you put into it. Wishing you all the strength and positivity as you continue to rise above. Much love and support! 🌟
Aww dude, I liked that jam. Keep making them. Loved the voiceover, loved the inner thoughts and honesty. You be you. The beautiful studio you have and the instruments you have accumulated are and inspiration. This was the perfect way to deal with the haters. 😊
Above it all, you are a wise man. Thanks for the valuable information I’ve gained from you over the years, lots of synths & some life. Keep doing what you do so well ✌🏻
Thank you OORA !!! Your channel is very special and unique!!! You have inspired me countless times; both with your music and with the honesty you present as an artist!!!!
Hey Oora - following you since a while. Thank you for the video - it really touched me. You are an very special "animal" - teacher, content creator but most of all true artist. You music is phenomenal. Thank you for your honesty! Up for a coffee in Berlin ;)
what a track, and what a message, love your stuff, you made me laugh about the bad hair line, mine is way worse! I can't be bothered about haters at my age, I just feel sorry for them. You introduced me to the Perfourmer, will always remember you for that.
I really enjoyed the music, the fact that you quietly shared your emotions and thoughts. Focusing on what’s good/constructive/positive helps me a lot. Everything that tries to drag me down is like cold rain, I won’t let it touch me much or I get cold as well…
Well said. Unfortunately haters will always exist tis the nature of the human race well for some anyway. Personally as with most here reading the comments, I enjoy your channel and the videos and the music you put out. So keep on doing it for those of us that do appreciate you. Have a very merry festive period and heres to your continued success in 2025.
one of the best videos i have seen in a while. we are all angry, scared and confused. some are so far gone, they do not even know anything else. buying a cool device might be the only thing left for some people to feel anything. youtube influencers do become a substitute for real friends, real interaction. it sucks, if that is your world and now you cannot be part of it anymore. but it is an illusion you have been trapped in. only calling it out, might make a difference. silence will drag us down deeper. being a musician and influencer does take an incredible amount of work and time to keep the lights on. nothing to be jealous about, really. how many years of no return until you get send stuff for free? if you find yourself often raging on the internet, just leave it be for a while. feel how addicted you are. realize and change. stop watching for new gear and use what you have to make music! remember the cool tune from your favorite retro game, remember the beatles song that you like, the sonata from beethoven or that sick mr. oizo or prodigy tune? realize what "gear" they were using. you have all you need. the difference between them and us is: they did not waste their time screaming into the void of the internet.
Having had a call with you a while ago via patreon and generally knowing your content you come across as one of the most sincere lovely people, your music and taste are great (a rare thing actually). If you have an opinion and a personality in life somebody somewhere will hate you and give you shit. It's a sad truth, but wear it as a badge of honour :) In the end the only thing we all have a truly finite supply of is time, what I would do to go back and change so many things... but life is that strange windy road that happens while you think you can take the straight path :) Being yourself is really what counts, these haters are so very often conformists who want to punish others for not conforming to whatever 'rules' they themselves slavishly abide by. Badge of honour man :)
@OoraMusic What a brave and sincere video. What an impressive performance. I'm a journalist (and amateur musician) and I'm afraid I know exactly what you're talking about. I'd love to do two things at once right now: Bow down and give you a big hug. Stay the way you are!
Wonderful video again. You are a gem on this platform and in the music world. "producing emptiness that we pay with our most valuable resource - our time" struck a deep chord. I'm happy to see that no one can take your craft and that you can find refuge in it. Bless
Greetings from South-Africa. Your music is truly very good. Inspirational. I only use Ableton, so your equipment is way more at this point in time that one could ever dream of. Keep it up.
Wow, such beautiful music! ❤ Well said! It’s so sad you had to deal with hate despite your dedication to creating content for others. I tried starting my own channel around the OP-1 Field release, but it was disheartening to face so much negativity from people upset about the device’s price. It’s also sad to see so much hate toward a company I admire. My experiences with them as a customer have always been great. Their products are unique and excellent, and I wouldn’t want them to change just because some people wish they were a different kind of company. I feel the same about the OP-XY. I was hoping for an OP-Z upgrade, and it went beyond my expectations. I hope you keep making content-I’ll definitely be here to watch and listen!
Bravo, well said, personally I love your videos they leave me inspired. We all have the ability to create abundance but only if we raise our frequency at the same time. please Keep them coming !cheers
interesting video. A real artist struggling to pay the rent because he decided to not follow to path of the system but fully dedicate to what he loves, sharing joy and his talent with the world. Sounds like an real artistic life. I discovered your channel yesterday night in bed before sleep and couldn´t stop watching. I salute your courage to go out in this crazy world, you are already one step further than I am, can´t wait to discover more of what you shared.
Omg ... "Now this is how to clap back at the haters .." lovely music ,intelligent honest thoughts and feelings ..while watching you do what we love doing ..... Thank You so much for the simple act of artistic bravery..I've followed you for years now ,,I've not liked all your music ...but I love your passion and honesty .. See you next week old friend ...even if the haters are still there .."See You Next Week!".
I hope you are well today. I've been struggling, but from it I've found a renewed vigor and have a new direction to go. I spent 15 years trying to be a pro drummer, but it never went anywhere, so I gave up and tried to live a "normal" life. I've never been more unfulfilled, less happy, or more dissatisfied. That's all ending. I've bought a bass guitar, I'm taking lessons, and plan to return to the stage in big way. I say all this to say thank you, honestly. Part of my reawakening to my passion for music was seeing your videos. Maybe someday I'll shake your hand and get to thank you in person, but if not, thank you again. I truly love what you do.
the haters seem to forget you're a human just like them. thanks for the music and the talks I enjoyed both. keep it up. you're doing better than you think
Let me be 1 of 1000 of the postive comments. Thank you for your music and honesty. Keep it up because i appreciate your videos. Im giving you a e-hug from New Orleans, LA

Thanks for your years of inspiration! I got a Perfourmer and oxi because of your excellent sounds. I know how those negatives feel, I could have 99% like ratio on a video, but I feel the one percent that hated. Grateful that we have the pure language of music to silence the fears.
hope you are enjoying them both!
Well done for making this video, focus on creating, growing, and sharing what you love. Wishing you the best.
Federico, I discovered you some time ago talking about making tape loops. I was so enchanted by your genuine passion for what you were doing. I was disgusted by the comments on the OP-XY. It took a lot not to go off on the whole lot of them. It was truly gross behavior on their part. You certainly *do* display an enthusiasm for music and the tools that you create it with. It's infectious. Imagine that, sharing what you love with other people in hopes of inspiring them. Keep at it. Side note: I'm loving the OP-XY, already one of my favorite tools I've ever used.
A dignified and mature response to the verbal and emotional storm of last. You're a good person, Frederico. Don't let them tell you otherwise. You indulge us in your creative world and beautiful music. Billions of people on this planet, and there's always ones that misread your intentions. Don't let them get to you, it's just not worth it. Just continue doing what you do best, for the people that care about it.
thanks for your words
Thank you for your open and candid thoughts! I share your thoughts and think it's great that you speak so openly and also make great music :-) Peace and Love from Leipzig
That was one of the most beautiful and honest videos I've seen for a long time.
Thank you for your honesty and for daring to share your vulnerabilities.
Much love ❤
This the first piece of your music I’ve listened to, the first video of yours I’ve watched. And it was very good. 😊 Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Loved your message but above all loved your raw and pure performance! I How beautiful it is to completely dissolve in the flow of creating music? I recognised that in you. Keep up the good work.
thanks, happy you saw that!
Enjoying your channel for the unique vibe and perspectives you bring. No way I’m forking out for new te stuff when I still enjoy cheap gear. I’m interested to see what it can do though cos I find the new gear can challenge me to figure out how to do things with the gear winking at me on the shelf.
This is beautiful. Your music is gorgeous and inspirational and I really appreciate you discussing the haters. I've had them too. Anyone will have them that endeavors to be great or at least do something with their lives.
It's sad that no one ever informed them about what opinions are or what objectivity or subjectivity is. Oh well. I really enjoy your channel and your music. Keep it up
thanks so much!
Your channel is awesome. Love your jams. Ignore the ignorance :) Sadly there is a lot of it in the world. They are usually not that brave in person. Keep it up man 🖤
Well said!
What a great answer you make with your video. You are inspiring, and a great musician and producer. Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot for all your videos, I have learned so much. The music you have played in this video was really great. The full video content is very inspiring. with love
Thank you so much for your response - it also hurts to watch your videos and then see negative comments appear and your words need to be said. I love your videos showing your workflow and you give fantastic insights into how to create amazing music. It is so hard to be an artist and musician and live from a synth! Peace x
thanks!!
I love what you do! Very deep and beautiful music! ❤
I just wanted to say that I love your channel, especially the recent videos with you just jamming, wonderful music. I appreciate you and what you do, and I am sorry you've had to endure hateful comments. Please know there are many of us who don't comment but love you and what you do
I know and I thank all of you :)
Thank you so much for being honest with your journey and sharing your story with us. Its our personal artistic expression that allows us to cut through the noise and be fulfilled.Much respect and love x
thanks Brett
What a an important Video Oora. Thank you for that! Sometimes i see you in Marheinekeplatz, and wonder if its ok to approach you and say thank you for all the content you are giving us. Maybe next time i will.
Beautiful music and message! Thanks Oora for sharing your passion and vulnerability with us.
I took a lot from this video. I've been having a hard time getting things down musically for quite some time now. I saw one of your previous videos and genuinely enjoyed it, but I was scrolling and saw the title/thumbnail to this video and had to dig to find it to watch it. Regardless, you have a sub from me and a lot of the message with this video resonates with me. I used to sit down and things would just flow from the angry or sadness I would experience and I appreciate you brushing the dust and reminding me why I love making music again. Cheers!
Two things that some people overlook: 1 you can't eat gear (trust me, I tried), 2 it's way easier to get a job or save some money to buy a piece of gear than working your ass off while building a channel over the years to get it for free.
100% !!!
Keep spreading the love, creativity & music. You are awesome.
Thank you! Will do!
Videos like this are why I love your channel. Gear reviews and demos are a dime a dozen these days. These kind of heartfelt, philosophical-leaning and introspective videos are something far fewer people do. Thank you for doing what you do, and for sharing your art and yourself with the world.
Beautifully said. I subscribe to about a dozen synth channels and you are one of the most sincere of the lot, and I truly appreciate that. And this video “seals the deal” on your sincerity. Thank you. I hear you on your feelings of jealousy and sensitively to malcontents. You should know that those folks you may be jealous of do not have your super-power of sharing your ideas, and the the people you call haters are like gnats that you can’t let bother you and can easily be swatted away. I’ll be looking up your Patreon shortly. Peace.
Addendum: I specifically chose the word “malcontents” to refer to those who you called “haters.” I think this is more accurate and defuses the the power behind the word “hate,” and those sniveling, chronically dissatisfied commenters don’t deserved to be risen to the power of hating. In short, in common parlance they are trolls.
Beautifully said, presentation, and music! Instance subscription. Thank you.
I’m so glad you’re sharing this. Yes, of course people can disagree on things, and sometimes it might be important to voice opinions. But the way they are communicated matters a great deal. Every video of yours I see is filled with true love for what you do, and that’s what matters.
This one gave me goosebumps and hope for humanity 🖤
I'm actually sipping a refreshing tropical drink and relaxing in a lounge chair underneath the luxurious SHADE you just threw on the haters. Thank you!
Haters gonna hate
Creators gonna create
ahah loved that
Here is a positive comment for you....I appreciate your views and your philosophy and your teachings. The way you can create music on the fly and in the moment makes me a little envious, but I won't let that stop me. We are after all, all the same in the end. But the choices we make on the way to that end is very important. I truly enjoy your videos and your music. Cheers!
Hi Federico, I just watched your video on TH-cam about dealing with haters and hate comments, and I wanted to say how much I resonated with it. Your perspective on staying true to yourself and focusing on the positivity around you was truly inspiring.
In a world where negativity can often feel overwhelming, it's so refreshing to see someone approach it with grace and authenticity. You’re creating something meaningful, and the impact you have on your community is evident.
Keep doing what you’re doing! For every hater, there are so many of us who appreciate your work and the heart you put into it. Wishing you all the strength and positivity as you continue to rise above.
Much love and support! 🌟
Thanks for writing me this, I appreciate!
Thank you for sharing this and your honest videos and music. I say honest because its completely great to see someone enjoy making music so much.
I appreciate that!
Love your channel and music, it always inspires me. 💯
I’m grateful for finding your art and channel. Thank you for your creations!
Very nice (both music and words). It needed to be said, and we can _all_ learn something from it. I think I will keep coming back to this one.
Your channel, videos, and art make me smile and feel at home when I’m tuned in. Thank you so much. ❤
You are so welcome!
Aww dude, I liked that jam. Keep making them. Loved the voiceover, loved the inner thoughts and honesty. You be you. The beautiful studio you have and the instruments you have accumulated are and inspiration. This was the perfect way to deal with the haters. 😊
Above it all, you are a wise man. Thanks for the valuable information I’ve gained from you over the years, lots of synths & some life. Keep doing what you do so well ✌🏻
Thank you OORA !!! Your channel is very special and unique!!! You have inspired me countless times; both with your music and with the honesty you present as an artist!!!!
happy to hear that
Hey Oora - following you since a while. Thank you for the video - it really touched me. You are an very special "animal" - teacher, content creator but most of all true artist. You music is phenomenal. Thank you for your honesty! Up for a coffee in Berlin ;)
thanks for you kind words. in italy we say too “different animal” :)
Loved the honesty and the music too, Oora keep inspiring and pouring the positive energy into the community 👏🏻🔥
You've got my support, Brother! This the most creative message I've heard this week, Outstanding exploration!
I rarely feel like one like just can not express my fondness of a video. Thank you once more!
what a track, and what a message, love your stuff, you made me laugh about the bad hair line, mine is way worse! I can't be bothered about haters at my age, I just feel sorry for them. You introduced me to the Perfourmer, will always remember you for that.
I really enjoyed the music, the fact that you quietly shared your emotions and thoughts.
Focusing on what’s good/constructive/positive helps me a lot. Everything that tries to drag me down is like cold rain, I won’t let it touch me much or I get cold as well…
thanks!
Federico sei un grande.. grazie per il tuo video. Mi ha fatto riflettere. Hai un grande talento. Amore dalla nostra Italia ❤
Grazie mille!
Well said man!!! Sad to hear that the haters affected you! I subscribed, I want to see more!
thanks Amil
fire performance man! i love what u do, and how you explain things u like about gear and such. love the peacefullness and calm vibes. much love!
I shared your music with a friend this morning.
When I get low, I look to the stars above in the endless night sky.
thanks :D
Well said. Unfortunately haters will always exist tis the nature of the human race well for some anyway. Personally as with most here reading the comments, I enjoy your channel and the videos and the music you put out. So keep on doing it for those of us that do appreciate you. Have a very merry festive period and heres to your continued success in 2025.
one of the best videos i have seen in a while.
we are all angry, scared and confused. some are so far gone, they do not even know anything else. buying a cool device might be the only thing left for some people to feel anything. youtube influencers do become a substitute for real friends, real interaction. it sucks, if that is your world and now you cannot be part of it anymore. but it is an illusion you have been trapped in. only calling it out, might make a difference. silence will drag us down deeper.
being a musician and influencer does take an incredible amount of work and time to keep the lights on. nothing to be jealous about, really. how many years of no return until you get send stuff for free?
if you find yourself often raging on the internet, just leave it be for a while. feel how addicted you are. realize and change.
stop watching for new gear and use what you have to make music! remember the cool tune from your favorite retro game, remember the beatles song that you like, the sonata from beethoven or that sick mr. oizo or prodigy tune? realize what "gear" they were using. you have all you need. the difference between them and us is: they did not waste their time screaming into the void of the internet.
Great track and great points. Love your stuff, please never stop!
you too mate! Great jam in the last video!
Having had a call with you a while ago via patreon and generally knowing your content you come across as one of the most sincere lovely people, your music and taste are great (a rare thing actually).
If you have an opinion and a personality in life somebody somewhere will hate you and give you shit. It's a sad truth, but wear it as a badge of honour :)
In the end the only thing we all have a truly finite supply of is time, what I would do to go back and change so many things... but life is that strange windy road that happens while you think you can take the straight path :)
Being yourself is really what counts, these haters are so very often conformists who want to punish others for not conforming to whatever 'rules' they themselves slavishly abide by. Badge of honour man :)
@OoraMusic What a brave and sincere video. What an impressive performance.
I'm a journalist (and amateur musician) and I'm afraid I know exactly what you're talking about.
I'd love to do two things at once right now: Bow down and give you a big hug.
Stay the way you are!
Appreciate you! Beautiful music, brave vulnerability and message here!
thanks!
Great video!!!!! Absolutely hit home for me in so many ways. And awesome track to!
thanks!
This piece was awesome. Lovely and inspiring. Keep up what you're doing cause is fantastic 🧡
Thank you so much!
Wonderful video again. You are a gem on this platform and in the music world. "producing emptiness that we pay with our most valuable resource - our time" struck a deep chord. I'm happy to see that no one can take your craft and that you can find refuge in it. Bless
thanks for your kind words!!
thank you for sharing your thoughts and your approach to questions which I agree are extremely relevant today
My pleasure!
Greetings from South-Africa. Your music is truly very good. Inspirational. I only use Ableton, so your equipment is way more at this point in time that one could ever dream of. Keep it up.
thanks mate!
Hey Matteo, thanks for sharing your feelings.
It takes courage.
All the best
Well said sir - Keep doing what you are doing ❤ from Thailand 🇹🇭
thank you for all your efforts, your advice is greatly appreciated, keep sharing, keep caring, one love.
thanks!!
Thanks
thanks for your support 🖤
Wow, such beautiful music! ❤ Well said! It’s so sad you had to deal with hate despite your dedication to creating content for others. I tried starting my own channel around the OP-1 Field release, but it was disheartening to face so much negativity from people upset about the device’s price.
It’s also sad to see so much hate toward a company I admire. My experiences with them as a customer have always been great. Their products are unique and excellent, and I wouldn’t want them to change just because some people wish they were a different kind of company.
I feel the same about the OP-XY. I was hoping for an OP-Z upgrade, and it went beyond my expectations. I hope you keep making content-I’ll definitely be here to watch and listen!
thanks for your kindness!
Great video, beautiful track. We appreciate your thoughts and your work!
Life can mean what ever you it to mean. You are the creator of your own reality/ perception.
Bravo, well said, personally I love your videos they leave me inspired. We all have the ability to create abundance but only if we raise our frequency at the same time. please Keep them coming !cheers
thanks!
interesting video. A real artist struggling to pay the rent because he decided to not follow to path of the system but fully dedicate to what he loves, sharing joy and his talent with the world. Sounds like an real artistic life. I discovered your channel yesterday night in bed before sleep and couldn´t stop watching. I salute your courage to go out in this crazy world, you are already one step further than I am, can´t wait to discover more of what you shared.
Thanks for writing me this beautiful message!
That's Beautiful Man Keep On Inspiring! Love and Peace..
thanks!
Omg ... "Now this is how to clap back at the haters .." lovely music ,intelligent honest thoughts and feelings ..while watching you do what we love doing .....
Thank You so much for the simple act of artistic bravery..I've followed you for years now ,,I've not liked all your music ...but I love your passion and honesty ..
See you next week old friend ...even if the haters are still there .."See You Next Week!".
thanks mate :D
I hope you are well today. I've been struggling, but from it I've found a renewed vigor and have a new direction to go. I spent 15 years trying to be a pro drummer, but it never went anywhere, so I gave up and tried to live a "normal" life. I've never been more unfulfilled, less happy, or more dissatisfied. That's all ending. I've bought a bass guitar, I'm taking lessons, and plan to return to the stage in big way. I say all this to say thank you, honestly. Part of my reawakening to my passion for music was seeing your videos. Maybe someday I'll shake your hand and get to thank you in person, but if not, thank you again. I truly love what you do.
thanks noah. i wish you will find your way this time. hold on!!!
the haters seem to forget you're a human just like them. thanks for the music and the talks I enjoyed both. keep it up. you're doing better than you think
More importantly, haters forget THEY are human - and what that means.
Hating is a bad choice.
Let me be 1 of 1000 of the postive comments. Thank you for your music and honesty. Keep it up because i appreciate your videos. Im giving you a e-hug from New Orleans, LA
thanks!!
You are one of the best out there. I am super appreciative of your skills, voice and heart you bring to everything you make. Thank you friend 🙏
You are so welcome
every single time I can finde pure inspiration here. thx mate, well done :)
thanks
Thanks for sharing this honest, and very relatable video ❤
thanks!!
