We Want Sharper Kids

The testimony of this Dr. Horvath dude went viral among my peer group last week. I don't like being too boxed in by generational stereotypes, but I'm an elder millenial with a young kid and my immediate reaction was "like, man, why do you have to throw kids under the bus like that?" Maybe there's something to it, maybe not. Two things I'm confident of are 1) every generation tends to say that young people these days are somehow under-performing, and 2) a scientists or researcher who broadcasts this kind of alarming news to the public is usually trying to make themselves famous above any other motive they may have. So as a little ritual to bleach my brain, I edited Dr. Horvath's statement into words of positive affirmation about Gen Z and made a little jam out of it. This was all done in Bitwig with some of my usual favs: Lush 2 for chords, Basimulus Iteritas for kick, Tekno for drums, and SketchCassette for compression and warmth.
