https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | I'm not really that good at writing music but I like to make it anyway. I've been using GarageBand for instrumentals and Notes for lyrics. I don't think it'll amount to anything and I sometimes wonder if I took music theory classes, which I don't want to take, whether I would get better and whether it would be worth it. Basically what it boils down to is "do I want to waste my time doing something that will help in the long run but that I really don't want to do and that I don't need or do I want to teach myself and get better agonizingly slowly but have a lot more fun doing it" | news flash.... the fact that you "don't want" to learn "music theory" is a sneak preview that you are not going to learn it if you expect someone else to teach it to you. that's just the nature of "music theory" and/or ... the nature of learning in general, i think! you can't just go to the doctor and get a 'shot' of 'music theory' and know it. besides ..... it doesn't really exist!! the way "music" "theory" (if there is such a thing) works is .... it's really just how you choose to make sense of the musical world you live in. Every "music theory" class really is just an extrapolation of what seems to be the principles among a CERTAIN SET of music that was popular during a certain time period. If you go to a classical school, they will teach you things that relate to what was popular in europe several centuries ago. if you go to berklee, they will probably teach you a lot about what was popular in the 1940s. there could be a class based on only the last 20 years of music, and it would be different still. there is really only a small amount of stuff that is really actually established and unchanging. like note names -- europe named the notes with letters a few centuries ago, and it really stuck. the entire world uses those notes. do you know them? (A, Bb, B, C, etc) |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | do you believe in ghosts bill? have you ever had an encounter with one | you know, a few weeks ago for some reason i became suddenly very interested in ghosts. i figured the consensus was that they actually do exist, because you always hear about them. so i went searching online for like the "most reliable" ghost stories and/or encounters. and i really expected to find a lot more than i found. it seems like every 'real' story is really just one persons story that has been repeated .... i was really expecting to find some good evidence and i really found absolutely nothing. |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Is the penis statue thing in 'modern woes' about Bhutan or something? | no, honestly i'm not totally sure what i was talking about. but actually, i think it refers to how there is usually a very official looking statue in the center of town, usually put there by the government. actually i think it refers to the washington monument. but ironically, i discovered later that there is a large clock tower in the middle of the town i was living in when i wrote that song (brooklyn) that looks even more like a penis |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | i do miss your songs | the ones that i have made, or the ones i haven't made? the ones i have made are still available. the ones i have not made, you have never heard. i'm not sure exactly what you mean. but i will be making many many more |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | is song 41 actually about something or is it just like an exercise of some sort? | it really fits right into the "demon-killing" writing excercise i was doing with all the songs written during that time |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Do u think learning drums is a good starter instrument for someone to get into playing and understanding music? | sure. it doesn't have to be, but there are certainly strong advantages of starting with drums. honestly i think piano/keyboard is a great instrument to be familiar with early on as well, because all the notes are right in front of you |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | will you ever make a page 2 for questions if this one gets too long | absolutely. although i don't know how long is too long. it's already wicked long and it seems to be doing fine |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | hey bill, one of the journal entries is listed 5.4.15 3:11am but on the video it shows 4.17.15 3:11pm | thank you so much. fixed it |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | So hopefully this question isn't too personal for your tastes - and if it is, I hope you choose to answer it by means other than this page - because honestly, I am baffled by you. You often mention feelings of loneliness, and I wonder if this is actually how you feel, or if it's part of the self-deprecating humour routine. It boggles me, because you seem absolutely content with being alone, and I know that personally, if I had the chance to meet you or even write together, I would grab it immediately. As a girl freshly graduated from college and trying to figure out the path of sharing my ideas with the world, watching what you do is inspiring to me. So thank you for doing what you love, and thank you for giving it out for others to see. :) | i have mentioned this before, but it was reluctantly that i decided to really start working alone. but ever since i did, it has worked very well and the loneliness is much more tolerable and organized. it doesn't feel 'wrong' like it did before, but it is still there. it is especially strong when i feel up against the wall about lengths of projects -- i want to do longer projects and i think most people want me to, but they take so long that it means nothing gets posted in the mean time. that's kind of when i feel the most lonely-- there's no one that really is with me during that struggle. |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Are you shy/lacking confidence when you meet new people? | i am supposed to be, but i'm actually not |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Does drinking bleach make you attractive? | i don't think so |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | do you see who wrote the questions? | no |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Will you make a history of Bill Wurtz video. | there is a section of my website that deals with this topic, and it will be expanded more and more over time |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Do you ever picture us as one person, a confused, forgetful person? | no |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | If you make a tumblr what color will the umbrella be? | i was trying to use tumblr for the website instead of the website. then i got frustrated with the bugs and limitations and made the website. i don't think i will be going back to tumblr |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Do you drink water? | oh hell yea |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | How do you choose the color of the umbrella for your different account? Just what feels right? | i try to make a slightly new one every time i join a different site. it shows effort |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | I want to learn how to make music, but when it comes down to it I'm so lazy, and I understand you are pretty hard working considering how you are able to make high quality music/videos so often, so maybe you don't have experience with laziness but could you offer any advice? | if you want to do it badly enough you will eventually figure it out |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | I have noticed that you have a page for questions that has been asked a few times. Do you find these questions annoying, or is that page more for "I find it amusing that people ask the same question multiple times" sorta thing? | it's just common sense to share the insanity. like if it's raining and no one else sees the rain but me, it is common sense to try to show them the rain |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | I want to make videos like you how do I start?
Do I need any video software? What do I need to learn?
(Not going to copy you, or your style, I am just inspired by you and like the way you think.) | start with whatever you have and/or whatever you can obtain the easiest and/or cheapest. this is also important because it will be the easiest to use. I AM NOT JUST SAYING THIS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. KEEP IT SIMPLE IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO START DOING THIS, and if you don't keep it simple i don't think you have a chance of succeeding. nothing ever worked for me until i started simple. start with like whatever is built into your computer, and if you don't have a computer maybe i can give you some suggestions. start ... simple .... use mario paint if that's all you have. you'd probably get projects done quicker than me |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | Do you ever answer a question with an answer that you don't actually believe because the real answer would be too boring? | oh hell yeah! |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | found it interesting that you dont use an electronic drum set. do you record the drum parts live from the keyboard then? or what is the ratio of live recording and like clicking to input sh*it stuf | i don't click input anything. it's all done by hitting record and playing. but it's midi, so i can re-do any tiny little part i want until it's right |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | in this note http://www.billwurtz.com/note200506051915.html and the one preceding it what were you referring to that you had discovered and unlocked the secret of recording rock songs in your basement? | honestly, that was 11 years ago, and i really don't remember writing that at all. 'it' may be .. the secret of the universe or whatever? and i think it's clear what recording rock and roll songs in my basement means. i think that was right around the time that i was really deciding that i might have to stop trying to find friends and really just record music all by myself. but i really didn't settle in on ANY good methods / systems of workflow until many, many years later. but i did finally get there. actually fuck it, i'm still working out some of the issues |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | i was listening to Its Going To Be Alright and i actually started crying. Thank you for making me feel good about myself. i needed it. | <3 |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2016-06.html | would you consider getting different ears like if they looked REALLy good like plastic surgery to make your ears look nice | i think plastic surgery is unhealthy, and i think my ears look fine |
