Fighting commercialism

 

My whole life I've been told to be like everyone else. I've been made fun of because of my curiosity and imagination. Usually the people who do this are the most boring people on the planet, but anyone can make these mistakes.

Making a mistake is an action. We live in a world where anyone can say anything. A world where the most ignorant buffoons can call themselves experienced. This is the most full of crap period in time.

"Be like everyone else" is something you don't have to say out loud. You just have to create an atmosphere where you have no choice but to be like everyone else. Then you start imagining what "everyone" supposedly wants, what they are looking for.

Paintings, drawings, books, films, music. There's no "one audience" for these things. It's an illusion. People can brainwash themselves into thinking that they're part of some homogenous audience, but it will never work in reality.

Why would you be excited about AI art when it produces soulless wallpaper from stolen ideas? Why would you expect real creativity when there's no room for it?

I cannot tell you how much I hate the idea that everything has to be a franchise. Are people really that desperate and eager to give up? I don't say franchise anymore, I say french fries. It's like consuming french fries until you burst. It's about consumption.

I've been questioning the mindless marketing machinery for decades. Am I not a "real person" because of that? You're not going to break me no matter how much you try.

Art questions May 2023

 

Q: You mentioned some short stories you were writing four years ago. Have you finished any of them?

A: I haven't finished the first story I started writing, but I basically know the whole structure. It has to be written in Finnish first. I don't have that kind of confidence writing in English.

I've been reading old Japanese ghost stories and a Guy de Maupassant collection. Only reading is reading. The only audio books I have is The Book of Revelation and some poetry read by Robert Graves and T.S. Eliot. When you listen to an audio book, you don't have the same mechanism at work.

When I read short stories, I only know the title before I start reading. The internal mechanism in my mind makes me more of a participant. I cover the last lines with my hand so that I don't see them too early.

The different ways a short story can end are so fascinating.

Art questions April 2023

 

Q: What's your take on AI and art?

A: Your subconscious has a need to tell and to show. It's always listening and connecting things in a way AI can never recreate.

Memory is not memory without emotion. AI can't remember what only you can remember. What only you can feel.

AI is not as advanced as you think it is. Most of the time it has no interest in uniqueness and only produces wallpaper.

Feed your subconscious, not AI.

NCU is currently a one-man movement

 

At the end of 2022 I announced that ten albums are going to be released this year. The next six will be out on the first day of the month. Three of them are finished.

New Creative Underground is not a record label and I'm not selling anything at the moment. Everything released and created by me is driven by ideas.

I'm doing things I couldn't do on a record label.

Right now NCU is a one-man movement. If you see someone else use/abuse the NCU sign, that's not directly connected to me.

Art questions March 2023

 

Q: How important is explanation in art?

A: Explanation is not the experience.

We should focus on the works themselves, but that doesn't mean we should explain everything. It's you who's looking at the work of art and that's enough as the main experience.

Art is discovery. If you feel like you don't have the time, then you simply have to make the time.

This world is polluted with explanations. Take a step back and see how few people are actually talking about the experience itself.

Usually they're not doing that on videos online. Watching most of those "explained" videos is self abuse. Young people watch them too often.

The kingdom of art is in you.
