But if you have 16 machines, why would you try to sound like you didn’t have any machines?
– Why not reduce it to 8, or 4, or a Binary number like 0?
My advice, and you don’t need to read it…you can stop now…
-Next time make some music that your Mammy would play on her Walkman. This is the wrong kinda Retro.
‘Art for art’s sake’ is a song by 10CC, not a manifesto.
(I know I said 16 machines and it’s 18 machines, but my ‘binary’ joke wouldn’t have worked as well if I didn’t use prime numbers. You wouldn’t get it.)
I wholeheartedly support every and any aspiring musicians with all of my heart in ‘real-life’.
I actually like this, but you’d never know, would you? Unless I explained it….
(And that’s what’s wrong with this song… You need to have it explained first.)
This will be deadly!
It’s pronounced Reish.
But anyway yes could be very good.
This will be really good. Better with a J before you go in
Is Neil O’Connor the hipster from SomadULL
That’s Dr. Neil O’Connor to you.
