🍛When she was in her early 20s, my mom made a little recipe book that she would pass on to her kids—she abandoned it after a few entries, but gave me the book nonetheless. I wish I knew how to cook, so I could finish the book and pass it down to my own kids, but the most I can do is a good scrambled egg, and rice (I can cook other things too but these are what taste the best). I’ve always admired those people who eyeball ingredients and use instinct to decide whether their stew needs more flavouring or not; those people who walk into a kitchen and cook up a storm because it’s second nature to them. Not to mention, I’m a super picky eater so often times I prefer to prepare my own meals at home, than to have someone else do it for me. If I can just learn how to cook food—the type of food that my kids will know me and remember home for—my entire life would be complete.

i just got the teenage engineering ep 133 ko ii (whew, what a mouthful.) i don’t yet know all the functions but ive had a blast making a few beats with my limited knowledge. i love the fact that there seems to be no eq—your samples are as they come, with the exception of pitch and amplitude. in the world of DAWs i feel like i am sometimes overwhelmed by options (this sound would be better if i Eq’d it. or maybe the transient has too much attack. or i think it needs to be sidechained to blah blah blah etc). of course these capabilities are incredibly useful, but when making music i feel like you can make a banger with really simple stuff. with the ko ii i just play the audio directly into the machine, sample it where i want it, and play the chops. then i play the drums in by hand. and that’s it and it sounds fucking great
