    The way you do your break downs is so valuable. No screen, no plug-in presets, no piano roll, nothing technical. The way you leave all that out and focus on sound and feeling is what people really need to see. These are excellent

  • @JustPete781
    @JustPete781 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    That first loop sounds like the audio version of schizophrenia so I can see how it can induce a panicked reaction. That flutter effect (maybe the 606) adds a little bit of mania to your beats. It’s like one of those dreams where everything is normal but something feels off. Like some ghoul could pop out at any time, like a looming jumps scare that never happens. Same feeling you get when you watch Atlanta

    @andrewfucarino9613 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Peace man, this is one of my favorites with Mach and West, and seeing the emotional place that this instrumental came from really is surreal. To me, Pray For Haiti was a huge moment in the year for hip hop in 2021. I remember hearing WSG say “wait till you hear pray for haiti” on Westside Gunday in April and I got more excited for a release that I maybe ever have, and it met every expectation. You’re such a huge part of that to me and I really appreciate how much you’ve shared of your process. Makrel Jaxon is my favorite on the record, I’d love to hear a little of the story behind that beat. Genius to use the sample saying “c’est meilleur to switch the lingo”, boils down all the switches between English and Kreyol on the whole album.

    @Emirattii ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Pray For Haiti is one of my most favorite albums that have dropped within the past 10 years. The production you provide in this album is absolutely incredible. Listening to this album on vinyl is even better so I highly recommend getting a vinyl record of this album and listening to it on a record player. I immediately get dragged into a very specific universe with these beats. Each individual beat you make on this album gives me a certain type of feeling. It would take ages to describe everything I see and feel from these beats. The passion being put into them is very visible and we are all very grateful to have you expressing your artistic visions through these wonderful beats. Thank you Conductor and I hope you carry on sharing your music with us. What you have is a one of a kind and we are very appreciative to listen and see what you express to us with your magnificent production.

    It is so affirming to see such a prolific producer with all this DOOM stuff all over his self and studio. This honestly inspires me to keep creating, even though I am not talented enough for the music game, this feeling/vibe based production just proves that instinct and emotion can satisfy you as a producer, without anyone rapping over it. I appreciate you Conductor!

    @keithprice1950 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I suffered through about a decade of crippling anxiety, panic attacks and social anxiety. Was the darkest time of my life and I was starting to have thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore. Tried meds, hypnotherapy, CBT, 10 day silent meditation retreat...nothing worked.
    Then I got married and became a dad. Anxiety stopped. I guess that all my focus shifted from myself and onto my wife and kids. So even though being a parent can be crazy stressful at times I never feel anxiety anymore. I'm thinking about my kids.
    That said, when I was dealing with intense anxiety it was probably the most productive time of my life muscially. When I was pacing up and down my living room feeling like my heart was going to leap out of my chest and I felt like I was suffocating, if I just started digging for a sample, chop it up etc it would help me to calm down. Then slowly my focus would shift to the music and most of the time I'd get through it.
    Toughest night of my life was in a cheap hotel in Bangkok. Was on my own because my girlfirend (at the time) had just left to go home and I was staying on backpacking by myself. Had a full blown panic attack, ceiling fan whirring, horrible light that wasn't even bright at night, bars on the window. Just a grim, cheap room. I was on the verge of running down to reception bare chested and asking for an ambulance but I'd been getting into meditation and remembered what I'd heard about not pushing feelings away. So I pulled a chair into the middle of the room under the ceiling fan, sat down, closed my eyes and just sat there with the thought that I wasn't going to move. Counted my breaths and fought through it. Took a long time but eventually it passed. And despite it being a horrible experience it was a turning point because I discovered that I could deal with it alone. After that I never had a full blown attack again. I still had anxiety a lot but I could now keep it from getting to defcon 1.

    Your description of your process making this song is wild because it perfectly describes the experience I had the first time I listened to Folie a Deux, but in reverse. The "bubbles" seemed like a portal into the e-piano sample, like a spaceship going through warp speed and coming out the other side seeing stars and all types of shit. It's kinda wild that it was like going in the opposite direction for you. Shouts to you for staying in that moment and building something incredible, this tune gave me deja vu as if I heard it once before years ago and it got lost in the ether. Genius brother.
