I don't know if I've ever met a person with more empathy for others than this man. That's inspiring in itself.

Me sweating as Ben reveals to the world how I make lo-fi beats

[rosefowl]

I don't think I've ever related more to a song than what was played at the end, I'm actually crying a bit

[Simoneister]

I love how you're just being honest and helpful and unpretentious and making fun stuff. It's really refreshing.

[Jotun]

I heard Victor Wooten say once this is a thing he likes to do with his students to let them learn to jam, like he'd go "let's do the worst possible improv you can think of"
This vid has the same message I feel and it's very good

[squiddlyd]

Now this is true quarantine content. Love it! Also the initial detuned piano stuff sounded really good imo

Ben, you have no idea how much I needed to see/hear/believe this video. Sometimes you know something in the back of your mind, but you just need that one person to speak it to you in their own way in order for it to manifest in your noggin and in yo soul, and that was you Ben! I have a goal of making a 3 album debut by the end of the year, and when I finish them, I will dedicate all 3 of them to you, cus frankly they might not exist if it weren’t for your help and guidance. Thank you so much Mr. Levin. Mark my words, my first 3 albums will have a dedication to Ben Levin. I hope you will see this.

Is it just me or is the editing getting wilder by each video?

[giorgiooliviero]

Honest as a man can be. I am in the process of growing up with your music, Ben: I don't know who I am going to be but I know you will have had a say in it.

The Zappa Method 1:21

When George Duke was in the band, Zappa asked him to play some nice melodies. Frank ruined those arrangements and used them for making new songs.

This is one of the most important videos on music creation and being an artist I've ever seen

[EduardoMunguiaMusic]

I wonder if I will ever know where Houston at

[LeSpulch]

I'm very high and was very close to my tv watching this, that combined with the editing made me listen harder than I've ever listened to anything in my whole life...

[GreatFlamingEyebrows_]

This was a fantastic video. I always get a hopeless feeling when seeing how good other peoples stuff is.
However I’ve noticed that your videos don’t give that feeling. They’re always so inspiring

[duncanthompson]

You gave me tears of laughter, and tears of poignant reflection... Thank you. That was beautiful.

I've been working with it and it has helped more than I can put in a few words. I've tuned into things that I don't like to hear in my own music and started looking at them as techniques in themselves. Bad techniques. Ways to make something I don't like. Avoiding/removing them instead of ruminating for an eternity about what to DO next makes it less of a struggle. That and focusing on my own connection to the creative process and how it actually makes me feel; why I'm certain that I want to continue doing it. Thanks for helping to lift me up when I was tired and didn't know what to do. Today, I'm not feeling defeated and hopeless, but inspired. Thanks, Ben. <3

Your videos are just so uniquely positive & authetic. It's hard to describe. Please keep making these videos, Ben 😊

I am so in love with this channel. Been buying a couple Ben Levin Group and Bent Knee CDs every paycheck the last few months. Getting the song writing course next paycheck, can't wait to see it.

[shamsaliriaz]

I really love this idea! I only recently started appreciating what this does to help you feel more comfortable with music itself. I've found more cool little DAW tricks and interesting instrument techniques by having that reckless abandon and just messing around. And as a really awesome conclusion, I realized that art isn't about making a masterpiece, it's just having fun. Realising that really took doing it in order for me to properly understand it. Sometimes to have fun you gotta grab a piece of paper and scribble around!

[Azihayya]

This is awesome, Ben. I could see the thoughts, "It's not good enough." coursing through your head in that song.
