Speed dating
8 March 2010
Matt Shadetek just wrote up an article for Dubspot where he explains my theory of Speed Dating. This is where you make lots of quick sketches and then only finish the best ones. This way you don't get stuck trying to "solve" some problem with a track when the truth is the track's whole energy and fate was determined in the first few minutes.
He explains it quite well and talks about how he and Rupture write together.
Thx for the shoutout. Another benefit of this is that you can take more risks and try something outside of your comfort zone, because you know its only 20-60 mins effort, and you don't have to marry her. and its a pleasure to have hundreds of strange little sketches in your pocket.
Another benefit of this is that you can take more risks and try something outside of your comfort zone, because you know its only a 20-60 mins effort, and you don't have to commit. Humans cannot be at play if they are worried about longer term consequences. Also its a pleasure to have hundreds of strange little sketches in your pocket.
The downside is that you can get addicted to the rush of initial creation and you avoid finishing anything. Wow do I have a lot of cool unfinished tracks and unreleased material. Its depressing when I think about it that way, really.
I should release a sketch album, but iTunes would charge 99c per track. Only an album would make sense.
If you're Kool Keith then you just sell them to some gullible label and they have to edit the things together (and replace the beats) to try to get their money back.
If you're J Dilla then you call them Donuts, each one very short and containing a world of genius. Then you pass into the afterlife, somebody else does a bit of editing and we all sit back and dwell on the innate perfection of the ephemeral.

The last year is on quarantine for me. Partly because I really want ...
