As at writing this I've got a real swerve / _/ / /
on and I've fallen into the wildest ASMR \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_
hole. / \/ \/ / \
/ _/ /_ _/
ASMR has never really been something I /- / _/ /
was interested in, the few times it came up \________/\________/\___/____/
was because of something weird, like someone
eating and smacking their lips a whole bunch or a lady sticking her fingers in
slime and it just sounded weird and gross to me.
But then I was looking at some room ambience video for ideas for
KONPEIT-*record scratch*
Oh yeah fuck I was supposed to do a file about that wasn't I whoops. Ok.
Let me bring you up to speed.
Way back last week I dropped a テトラ実験室 product into the Gemini space, it
is called KONPEITO, all caps or abbreviated as ***. It's basically a place to
distribute two sets of mixtapes; one regularly but infrequently released and
one released whenever but possibly more frequently. Check it out, you'll need
a gemini browser, I recommend solderpunks av-98[1], then point it at
gemini://konpeito.media.
Feedback has been really encouraging so far, I hope you enjoy.
So back to this ASMR stuff. The second you click on one ASMR YouTube video
your recommendations are immediately bombarded with them, like a rash, it's
crazy, but some of them seemed kind of weird and interesting so I clicked
around a bit.
I got on a journey of ladies talking to the viewer while they do stuff, a
kind role play scenario where the lady was a receptionist or a train conductor
or whatever and then into one's where they were a doctor or barber. That's
where it got interesting because ones started to turn up where the viewer was
a machine or robot that the ASMR girl was servicing.
It still seemed kinda goofy until I was watching this one[2]. I skipped
ahead and suddenly she had this weird contraption[3] and I was like "oh is it
a prop?" - you know, like she took your ears out to repair them or something
because you're a robot but when I realized it was wired for sound it all
finally clicked, it was basically a musical instrument. It was crazy. It
totally changed the way I enjoyed it, the whole thing started feeling like
weird, minimalist spoken word and noise music.
I watched the rest of the video with my eyes closed and just got lost in
it, it was very interesting and I highly recommend it.
That's it!
Oh wait, also I put up an old school 30-second-timer office webcam up on
the baby, check it out from the main menu, you might even see my shuffling
corpse!
