https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | So I recently baked a cake and the fact that I am in possession of said cake makes me very happy.

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how do you record percussion? clicking around in a piano roll makes me want to pluck my eyes out, but i'm not good enough at keyboard to use that as a midi controller. i guess a drum machine could work. and i guess i could just stop being lazy and get gud at manually inputting the midi events. what would you recommend? | you need dynamics (loud/soft). the problem with inputting midi notes with a normal computer clicking device is they are all the same loudness. that is precisely what will make it sound like crap, in that case. so whatever your input device is, make sure it knows how hard you hit it. that's the whole secret to good drums and percussion |

How can I "not exactly" be Spider-Man while still feeling fulfilled? | it's important to remember that there was no spider man before spider man. just as there was no you before you. actually, being you is exactly the kind of thing that someone later will wish they could do, but can't, because of course you will have already done it |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | i was listening to movie star and harmonising for fun, and in "maybe we can just go back home" if you sing the sus4->third on "home", it is approximately the nicest thing ever. why are add4s so nice man | i'm not sure, but what you described doesn't sound like add4 |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I asked you yesterday about similar-sounding chords, your response seemed kinda sarcastic to me but it helped | if your question is the one i think it is, i was stone serious about the response |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I kinda took from it that I should just do stuff and there is no heuristic I should follow. That being the intent or not, thank you for your response! Do you have any heuristics you tend to follow when finding chords for your songs or are you more guided by how the chords make you feel? | i have no idea what the word heuristic means..... ok i just looked it up and i still don't know what it means. but the thing about writing, and a lot of writers tend to say this: writing is total magic and none of us actually know how it happens. and most of the time, the best writing happens when the writer does not even seem to be in control. whether that helps or not, it's the truth as far as i can tell |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what do you appreciate more about movies now that you've made some of your own? | my appreciations and grievances about movies have not changed as a result of anything i've produced. i've always had an urgent eagerness to show how i would do certain things, and that's only grown stronger |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is the tendency for the West to engage in self-criticism at the level of the collective caused by its status as a guilt society at the level of the individual? | the phrasing of that question is almost incoherent without some brackets to indicate order-of-operation, but i'm pretty sure the answer is no. and by that i mean, it doesn't seem to be an individual tendency -- it seems to be more inspired by the collective conversation of the era. but now that i re-read your question, i just found another way to orient the brackets, and thus evaluate the meaning of the question entirely differently, so i don't know |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | How many times in your life have you said the word dastardly? | 0. and i'd like to keep it that way |
