Creators are burned out, consumers are doom-scrolling content addicts.
Creators want to create, "consumers" want intimacy and meaningful interaction.
Everyone is wasting a ton of energy not getting their needs met.

This is from Tim’s sister Anna. Tim’s cancer treatment and knock-on collapse of his business Endlesss have plunged his family into crisis. I’ve started a Gofundme for them . Donations and retweets are hugely appreciated ❤️🙏

It takes most of you well over 100 hours to make a track. Based on Spotify stats this means on average it will take 150 years of royalty payments to recoup minimum wage for your time, assuming you get all those royalties. Maths below 👇

Gentle reminder that you are being mined for indignation and disgust, the most successful emotion at getting you (and others) to stick around. Just for today, don't let this emotion get in the way of your efforts to understand and empathise. Tomorrow, read this again.

Electronic music has always been folk music but industrial economics made it about scale.
Feels like we're at the cusp of reclaiming it as folk music.

Crazy how deeply creativity is owned by big corporations. We name creators after the platform they use eg YouTubers. Imagine artists being 'galleryists' or DJs 'nightclubists'. Even more crazy when you consider they don't offer tools to create the 'content'.

The media industry stole the -ing from music.
Dancing is the most wildly intuitive expression that everyone does and some do professionally.
Music(ing) used to be like this until the industry convinced us it was a 3 minute long thing made by professionals.

This is important and so overlooked. The unsung superstars of culture are always the tools / toolmakers: piano, electric guitar, autotune, serum +++. Always end up disenfranchised from the impact they have.
Great news, I am particularly excited about using art sales to raise funds for art tool development
