How making music made me a better person

your music is very nice

I have gone through very similar stuff. Very insightful!

bro your music is so big in my life because of how much i love your videos

shows picture of 2nd album
music is from 1st
Seems legit.

Thank you Philip for this video! I am precisely what you described with electronics, I know a lot (studying at uni, reading technical books, etc), but I have never really finished a project (Not quite, but compared to the amount I have thought up or started, I have finished almost none), always dreaming about all the great things I could do, but once I have the knowledge or a plan, I can't get myself to actually sit down and do all the necessary work.
And, though only in my head, I am always critical of people who do finish pointless little projects. I guess I have to accept that I too have to start small.

these songs are perfect for in-game music!! Menu or not.

warowl's are better :p

You know deathmetal is good too

Your website is offline, oh no.

I know how to play an insturment. Is my music better than yours? No.

Honestly i habe been doing music for 10 years right now and can tell you: there is no "right way" how to make music. It is an art and if you like it its good enough.

Thank you very much for the... How do you say that?... Wisdom you gave. I'll never forget it!

The link in the description seems to be dead. I find your music quite enjoyable. I wouldn't listen to it normally but I find it works great as a background for something else like your videos or games

What tools did you use?

How do you not know how to play any instruments? KlikYS Philip.

Isn’t it annoying how the words “polish” and “Polish” are undistinguishable, especially if “polish” is at the beginning of a sentence, so, therefore needing a capital letter, bloody frustrating

Your music is like synth bagpipes played by an asthmatic

What software did you use to make music?

I love the music that you and your Dad made. Its real nostalgic and has something that other songs don't have, but i can't put my finger on it...

Your videos make a lot of viewers happy. Wonder how it makes feel you.

Recently I've bought all your albums on Bandcamp, love to listen to them while taking a walk or working out. Even your first songs, as simple as they might be, have this "something" that makes me want to go back and play them once again, and I certainly wouldn't call them rubbish.

That first song is unironically a banger.

It's kinda crazy how the video is so engaging even though he only uses 3 pictures in a 5 and a half minute video.

I remember watching this video a few years ago and I took the same approach to making YT videos. I started out small and short 30 second clips and I've made a new "season" of 1-minute + clips using techniques me 3 years ago had no idea existed. 10/10 Mr. Philip

i really like your music tbh, i can't really make music personally, but i fell inspired to start making it

I have an album I made exactly like this

how does one learn how to use FL studio

197th - 6 years later xD

Crossing those islands is really good

3kliksphilip x Eminem when

My fav is the Atomic amnesia (the one he use in case millionaire videos)

Really wish I hadn't ever heard my brothers music, not that it wasn't good, far from it, it's just that it set some level of expectations for my own, and so when I did make music, I was always disappointed to see it sounded nothing like my brothers. Going in blind really is a gift.

I unironically enjoy the music. Like, really.

At some point the latter tracks in this video get so catchy I realize I was listening to them instead of trying to hear what Philip was saying

hey, thats 5 minutes with phil

this is good

I 100% agree agree with you that anyone who can and feels like it should absolutely try writing music of their own regardless of ability or funds - there are DAWS such as LMMS and Cakewalk that are out there, free and I've been using them for years, and an entire genre has popped up about having 0 musical knowledge. Start out small with a simple chord progression, lead line and bassline doing roots using a MIDI-focused DAW such as LMMS and you may find yourself having enough fun to want to do it again. And again. And 3 years later you're on a course studying to become a studio musician. Or you may have no fun, but at least you tried and know now. Your first song will be objectively rubbish, but you'll soon learn somehow why it sounds bad and improve upon it. Music is more accessible than ever, at least as a hobby. Take advantage of that.

still one of the most personally impactful videos i've watched from you. thank you philip

I thought ravein was rave in until yesterday

I watch this regularly.

This is the beauty of music. I hate the idea in the music community that you need to "understand" music to make music. We all start somewhere and have to build ourselves up. And at the end of the day, just because you follow the rules of music doesn't mean it's going to sound good to you. Understanding a basic amount of music theory myself helps a lot but it's not at all needed to get you started. What truly matters is your ambition. And I 100% agree that it's important to limit yourself in terms of the programs and instruments you can use when you start making music. I personally limit myself to only around 5 plugins, because if I end up using more, I just keep searching and searching for hours trying to find the "perfect" preset. And we all know there isn't. To me, it's all about making the weirdest or dumbest sounding preset and making it sound like the greatest preset you ever heard :)

I feel you on the ambition thing

i've tried to learn how to draw many times, but always gave up. however, last year i tried one more time and it actually stuck. the change i made which kept me going is exactly what you talked about. before, i always just sketched random things over and over, which is what everybody told me to do, but it felt like i just wasn't getting anywhere. sketching so much without knowing how to make a full drawing just feels unrewarding... but this time, i haven't done a single sketch at all, instead i've been doing nothing but fully coloured and rendered art. sometimes it takes me an entire day, other times it takes me one hour, but either way it's millions of times more fun, and at the end of the day i have something that i can look at and feel proud of making
