Dutchmassive - "S.O.S. Freestyle" (Daily Rambles) - Produced by thxk_u

🎙

📖Backstory:

↓

The last documented freestyle (Daily Rambles) captured 7.25.2023 at 9:21pm EST. 🕘

↓

My long term friend and fellow emcee Will Widdoss sent me a voice message out of the blue in the form of a freestyle. He being on an android and me being on iPhone, I'm able to receive and listen to voice messages through text, but for some reason I can't record or send voice messages back to anyone using an android. So without pause, I loaded up this beat my man "thxk_u" sent me to write to and Immediately pressed record on video and began freestyling without thought as a reply haha. This would be the last recorded freestyle over a beat since.

I felt it was important to document the continued theme of real time documentation of the creative process (Flow State) across multiple creative disciplines in my starter pack before diving into the rest of 3 decade career that brought me to this point.

Hidden Alias Unlocked! 🔓 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🎹Undisciplined Chord Fumbler, Sonofziggy. 🎹 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ This is 1:35 minute snippet from the 17:15 song "Long Story Short" (Day 10)[Part I] which was the second to last song created in the series in 2020, before revisiting this series and this session one last time in early 2021 and adding a touch of "Evolving Portals" to the final track in the series "Long Story Short" (Day 10) [Hiatus - Part II] ⬛◼◾▪ This one take, long form documented series was birthed in 2014 in Upstate New York, After reuniting w/ my pops "Ziggy" on a secluded mountain "Sam's Point Nature Preserve" ⬛ Long Story Short, We had not spoken in over a decade prior to that visit that turned into a year living together, healing wounds, and bonding... ⬛⬛⬛⬛ We both talk a lot....  Long Winded..      I must get it from my pops because the most common phrase that comes out of his mouth is "Long Story Short" ⬛⬛⬛⬛ This series was born after taking turns playing each other music that we loved..  He was putting me on to his abstract Jazz Fusion and Folk, Prog Rock Collection, and I was putting him onto hip-hop, and I obviously made a lot of music while there.   ⬛⬛⬛⬛ One day he said, 💬 "Dutch, I really dig your music, but I don't understand what your doing, you're not playing an instrument, your just sampling other peoples music" ⬛I did my best to show him I turned Samples into instruments, but he kept taunting me.... ⬛So I said ⬛⬛💬"Bet!. I don't know music theory and don't play instruments (other than the drums) but let's turn this into a fun challenge you can witness as it happens"  ⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ So on October 1st, 2014...    "Long Story Short" (Day One) was created in front of him, in real time, one take, fumbling through the unknown and recording the entire process. ⬛⬛⬛ A Few Days Later,  I Began uploading the series on a secret soundcloud account. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴soundcloud.com/son-of-ziggy🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ I would dabble with the series over the next few years, all using the same process...   One Take, Long Form, Improv Sessions Documented. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ This unlocked my affinity for creating live, in the moment in completely unknown territory.  I had already been freestyling since the mid 90's, but something about recording these long form sessions lit my neurons on fire in a way, intentionally creating and finalizing a track no longer did. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛ The Daily Rambles (Reluctant Clap) Series was born a year later. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 2015-2022 Tascam DR-05 Freestyles: ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴dutchmassive.bandcamp.com/album/the-reluctant-clap-daily-rambles🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ...and around mid 2018, "Evolving Portals" began, A Series with the same principle and methods applied, only I do this with creating instrumentals in the DAW...   ⬛ I still make "normal/digestible" music, but honestly, I'd rather just enter the flow state and have fun experimenting in the great unknown and documenting the entire process. ⬛ I can't create a starter pack on blockchain without paying tribute to the first piece of art/music I minted... ⬛ On 2.5.21 I minted "Long Story Short" (Day 8) on Rarible... ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴 rarible.com/token/0x60f80121c31a0d46b5279700f9df786054aa5ee5:185748 🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ and I haven't stopped adding art/music to the forever library since... ⬛ If you would like to own the 1/1 of the photo taken moments before my rapid little fingers began this series. ⬛ You can view/collect it below, where I do more world building around my albums and chapters in life in general. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴foundation.app/@PeacePeaceGawd/uproot/13🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ Unlock the alias officially?!?!? ⚪ Maybe I'll return to recording this series and release some sessions that never left my hard drive <3

A 10 minute video snippet of the 5 hour live stream on twitch.tv/peacepeacegawd where I flipped my own submission samples live on stream directly after the listening / playback stream in the Catalog Works Discord.

The full 31:13 minute audio version will available as a 1/1 to listen to and/ or collect via Catalog Works (w/ a much more in depth back story)

beta.catalog.works/dutchyyy

For Reference, Catalog Works has been hosting sample challenges in their discord since 2022 where they reach out to an artist to submit samples and let anyone join the discord server to participate in submitting their flips. At the end of the allotted time frame given. We all join in on the playback stream in discords and play everyone's submissions. Super fun and super wholesome. I encourage you to join in on future Catalog Cook Off Sample Challenges, whether as someone who joins in to participate or as someone who just wants to join in as a spectator to experience the magical playback streams.

Closing words:

It was important for me to include a visual representation of me #EvolvingPortals in my starter pack. I've been creating and releasing music for 3 decades, that's so many chapters to cover. A lot of finished and released albums, a lot of unreleased music, multiple aliases etc but the past few years I've leaned into documenting the full imperfect long form creative process and it's the most fun i've ever had with music.

With emceeing that's #DailyRambles
With Instruments that's my #LongStoryShort series
& with music production in general that's #EvolvingPortals

"Music Nerd" (Evolving Portals) f/ cxy
Produced by: Dutchyyy

10 Min snippet of the 130 minute long “Music Nerd” (Evolving Portals)

Backstory:

I originally asked cxy what his favorite songs were last year so I could flip them.. but instead of just making easily digestible normal beats I went further and further down the rabbit hole and rode the flow state express into the most obscure, break sh*t on purpose, experimental Jazz spirit and Evolved Portals every time I opened up the session…. I later asked C.Y. If he had any recordings of him having convos because the way he thinks and speaks about music resonates so hard with my “The Process itself is way cooler than the shiny finish product” and he sent me a podcast. What a gold mine of cherished words. I almost feel bad attaching them to me just nerding out and getting weird with music and recording the entire process live. It’s such a frustrating reality knowing we let technology re-program us so systematically to have the smallest attention spans and be self aware that only 2% (if that) will actually digest a 10 minute video fully…. 130 minutes hahah. I’m so bored with creating and consuming conventional, short form music & videos. Even if it’s objectively dope…. I’ve consumed so much dope music in my lifetime…. And made so much conventional music. That I need to hear and make stuff that draws outside of lines and catches me off guard to fire off those neurons or I get bored quickly…. Taking the concept of music nerd so far, kids will be on a space station in the future geeking out and sampling my madness. There’s quite literally no one else that does what I do at the level I do or in the excess I do…. There’s no market for it, no trophies, and no attention spans. I've done conventional for years. Art is boundless, Theory is human made. Music is an expression that's so subjective. Why did we allow so much time to pass all following these conventional rules? Intro, verse, chorus, verse, bridge outro. Mixing, Mastering, Track Length, Genre, Single, EP, Album. Sound is cosmic... There are no rules. Just express, transmute and document.

Trying to create a starter pack for a 3 decade career seems challenging. Overwhelming amount of history, context and a vast discography. Evolution.

So let's start closer to the present. The consistent artist bored w/ boxes, rebelling against the meta & nerding out having fun creating in the flow state and documenting that real time process, mistakes and all.

Love to cxy.eth for entering my life when he did and showing me I wasn't alone in valuing the process more than the final shiney, polished result.

If there is only one thing I can leave behind to define who Dutch is it's this.

"Peace Peace, My name is Dutch and I am a lifelong living example of a Music Nerd. Music is the healer. Tiny Ripples"
