Music

There is only one thing I started doing as a hobby more than 10 years ago and I still didn't tired of it: listening to music.

I can't say I'm a "true music lover" because I listen to the same tracks over and over again, so I rarely discover new music, and I generally stick to some specific genres of electronic music (existence of not electronic music still does not bother me, any attempts to go beyond the boundaries have come to nothing). Over the years I tend to switch preferences in genres I enjoy the most, after a couple of years I may come back to the older music I listened to before, only dubstep stays with me all the time.

Dubstep

There are no full statistics or history of my playlist. Some 2019–2025+ stats from PC files and partially Spotify can be found on my Last.fm profile, but:

  • sometimes Last.fm integration with Spotify randomly breaks, so until I notice and fix it scrobbles are not recorded;
  • I often listen to some mixes or livesets recordings and they are not scrobbable;
  • some random tracks I listen only on YT and they are not scrobbable too;
  • before I used to listen to music on my phone, but I didn't setup scrobbling here, so no mobile stats too;
  • for the past several years huge part of my playlist consist of nightcore/hands up singles and mixes on YT, so I have almost zero stats about nightcore/hands up genre.

In May 2025 in addition to Last FM I started using Web Scrobbler for YT and Spotify, but anyway Spotify connector breaks sometimes, some YT titles are not recognized as music and the mixes are not suitable for scrobbling since usually I'm listening to only some segments, so an accurate listening history is not achievable for me.

Music Production

Also I spend time trying to make........... "combinations of sounds" in Ableton tooltip-iconMostly trying to mimic Hands Up and close to it genres, but no significant success yet, but I won't publicly share any results until I finally make something worthful by my own estimations.

Due to my attempts in music production I had started wanting to get a MIDI keyboard long time ago. After plenty of years I finally got it and now I'm using it to learn very slowly how to play on piano (using it for its intended purpose is not as convenient as I thought, for now it's easier for me to use mouse+keyboard as I did before). Initially my goal was to play well-known melodies like Moonlight Sonata or River Flows In You, but a piano tutor from the first youtube video that came up randomly named exactly those two songs and said it's too much for beginners, you should try something closer to your level before you approach tunes like these two, so I guess reaching my goal is postponed for the next 3-5-10-20-∞ years.
