Congrats on the Subs, keep going, I find the content very interesting - thank you.

Nice to see some Jogging House appreciation, I've been on a Siel Records trip recently, especially The Lifted Index and KMRU, masterful stuff.

[K-ORA]

Right on, congrats 🤘🏽. Happy for you! 5:18, oh I know this all too well! 😂

Those rain sounds could probably work as a layer in one of your ambient tracks...

[carltanner]

I'd be up in the ceiling there putting in sound proofing pads!!! That was loud!!! Really good video, Lilly!! It'll be great to see more of your videos, especially the photography ones when you get around to doing them. I should get back out with my cameras and get some more pics. I've had a roll of Ultramax in my Minolta Hi-Matic for the last month and haven't gone out to shoot it!! In that time, I've gotten two lenses for my 5Xi (Minolta), a 100--300mm zoom and a 50 mm f1.7, which turned up today. So, I'll have to get around to using them. One good thing with the hiatus, though, is my film stocks are slowly creeping back up. Oh, and congrats on 5000!!! Now for 10K, then 20K...😊

Congrats to 5000 subs
Love your channel

[metafuel]

This was excellent. I love your taste in music.
Congratulations on 5k. Onward and upward.
Greetings from South Africa.

Great video Lilly, really enjoyed the questions and your answers. Thanks for answering my question and I think now that I understand some of the scope of music theory (akin to having looked at the table of contents of a book) I realise I need to learn it, but your overall philosophy on this resonates with me for sure. Thanks again for sharing and congrats again on the 5k... now 6.2k and climbing :)

[Saartekk]

Glückwunsch zu 6, 2K Subscribers und Danke für die Antwort, kann ich sehr gut nachvollziehen... 😉😁🥳🥳🙌🙌 Hab Dich eh abonniert und freu mich einfach, wenn's neuen Content gibt... 😉👍

[talldarkstrangerpr]

love this q&a great to know that you had punk, goth, and post-punk roots and love ambient.

Hey Lilly, just subbed today after watching some of your box builds, now going through your back catalogue xD We have very similar interests and tastes, looking forward to watching more!

[Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Blade Runner simply is a masterpiece. Hans Zimmer's Dune is a masterpiece as well, just like the soundtrack to the old version of Dune, made by Toto.
Maybe all those SF story writers are wrong and we will be living on a green planet in some decades? (Yeah, I know ...)

More of theose photos from the past next time? ^^

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass du mal ein Punk warst. So kann man sich irren. Übrigens ist deine "ruhige Art" sehr ansprechend.

[peko]

good taste in music love Jogging house and Hainbach

[thomas]

Hi Lilly, The Q n A questioners asked the BIGGEST question I wanted to ask you: "How do you manage and prioritize so many various types of creative projects". Great to hear your answers! Looks like you're well on your way to 10K subs already!

[markhayward]

Thank you for answering my question. Sorry if it was a bit boring (and out of date...).

And that rain storm... bad for recording a video perhaps but great background for music.

[klors]

"I can't stand the rain, against my window" ... congrats!

[BlahSnarto]

i was curious why i was recommended your channel then i saw the tattoo... huge neubauten fan.. i could never bring myself to tattoos or marking my body but if i did it would be the 1/2 Mensch logo or a sleeve of giger patterns..

[jeffwigle]

The tape thing is broken story of my life lol

[hfttyth]

Listen to Zheanna Erose music. She`s so cool!

[DmitryKoupriyanov]

I still have video and film waiting to get worked on from 2019 🤣
