This Universe Is a Cage

Author Comments

And so is this planet.

Part one of potential series of tracks using FL studio's basic genre templates that are all pre-setup and ready to go. This is from the Jazz template. I'm trying to use only what they give me (minus effects). I did record a shaker and used a very basic synth in the background. This started a bit more traditional till I self-sampled and looped some segments of the original piece. I have some other things in this file that may be finished, one in particular I really like a lot that comes off the tail of this track. Thanks for listening. <3

I think you honestly might be my favorite artist of all time, I don't know, it's just something about the sounds you use that I love.

I'll never really know how to answer comments like this, but here I go.
I can only hope to be "one of your favorite artists of all time."
Inspire you in innocuous ways...

Sometimes you hear people say things like "Oh man! I used to listen to that xyz band in xyz time"

I just want to make music for any time. For any listener no matter their nostalgia, era, time frame. I'm sure what I make now might seem quaint for our "era" or whatever...

Kinda like how we look back on music from the early 20th centaury. (which still is wonderful). I'm always curious about the future though. When does our "current era" of like 150 years start to become obsolete? Or have we become a template for future generations?

Don't stop searching for music....or entertaining musicians you already like and their new work. Even further, look into the music the musician you liked, liked...if applicable.

There's so much stuff being released every day. I can only hope I can somehow cut through the monotony of creation and make something people feel is a bit more unique.

If you have found my tunes on your listening journey, I am humbled...all I have are references -- if you so seek.

I'm really glad you could become endeared to my little tunes on the internet

idk what to say except your music is i think some of my favourite music ever. and this song made me almost tear up. idk what it is its just the sound mixed with the emotions this track is filled with it just hits different for me. jazz + electronic stuff together done well just does something to me man.

i don’t like jazz but this song is nice. l liked the first part and gradual growth of the music’s melody(0:00-1:02)

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Jazz can inform one to a lot of exciting musical ideas. I think there's something each genre can teach you/something you can find that you like. I don't really try and focus on a genre, I just try and make something sound good to me in any given moment.
