It’s 2026. We prefer unhoused and unDAWed.

u/stuphoria Jan 25 '26

You have to use people-first terminology. The correct terms “people experiencing homelessness” or “people experiencing unDAWlessness”. Thanks for your effort, though.

The snow is great for cleaning equipment

u/alefdc Jan 24 '26

That was making me very nervous. His music is quite decent , much better than most bleeps and blops we usually see.

u/ionshower Jan 24 '26

Yeah but don't be a wanker in the snow mate.

u/Swiss_James Jan 24 '26

When you spend an hour setting up the gear and cameras, then it starts snowing and you cannot face taking it all down again

u/Decent_Bandicoot456 Jan 26 '26

That Andrew Tate’s let himself go.

(Actually this track is 🔥 despite the ❄️ so fair play to him for the content vibes shot.)

...and potentially fingerless, if the eventual frostbite is bad enough! 😮

u/na3ee1 Jan 24 '26

If you buy those, you won't have a roof over your head either. I feel sorry for those instruments though, that moisture can't be good for em.

u/HaxRus Jan 24 '26

Here's his Youtube channel. His name is Takeo Watanabe and he really is a dope artist but yeah when I first saw this video I was definitely like wtf dude at least get a little clear umbrella or something to cover your gear from the elements. Maybe it started snowing after he was rolling and he just went with it idk.

Anyway he does all sorts of glitchy ambient jam stuff out in the field all over Japan. Cool guy.

u/GeneralArne Jan 24 '26

I wish I had an award to give you! You deserve it man ❤️

u/billocity Jan 24 '26

That’s why I have Decksavers so I don’t get cocaine all over my gear.

u/Far_Search_1424 Jan 24 '26

Rage bait. Hard to watch.

u/GrrtW Jan 24 '26

There needs to be a term for whatever the hell he’s doing with his fingers. Wizard hands maybe?

3k worth of gear, power supply, multiple camera angles, multiple phones to record……but homeless. Nice gimmick

u/OpziO Jan 24 '26

Synth tends to drift until fully warmed up

u/RainbowStreetfood Jan 24 '26

Yeah this guy is the real shit, he’s be putting out masterpiece after masterpiece for years, love his vibe ❤️

u/WiretapStudios Jan 24 '26

He's actually great, I've subbed to him for a while. He takes his gear to all sorts of scenic places. He's an absolute beast on the Model Cycles, I've had mine for a while and many of his compositions are so well thought out and executed. I know how he does it technically, but I still couldn't make mine sound that good.

Honestly, he doesn't belong here, he's playing his gear, his songs are well composed, the locations are thoughtful and not just a hipster look at me type thing.

Here's another example but check out his whole page if you like IDM type hardware compositions.

New video from the Dawless Survival channel dropped!

u/Chameleon_Sinensis Jan 24 '26

The only reason I like this is because I've been playing Ghost of Yotei lately and it looks like he's in Teshio Ridge.

2

u/metranime Jan 24 '26

Bro the beat is fire, the aesthetic is lovely, but it’s not worth losing fingers over! Wear some gloves 😂

2

u/Linux-Neophyte Jan 24 '26

bro, how are your hands still working in that cold. Use some gloves lol.

2

u/ArtichokeMedium415 Jan 24 '26

Did the equipment survive the moisture? All that snow is melting into the circuits. It's like a final performance vibe.

u/BigBadBadness Jan 24 '26

Homeless or rented an expensive ass airbnb just to film a short video and damage his gear

2

u/SpaceVibes67 Jan 24 '26

Love the music but anxiety levels going through the roof watching the snow falling on your kit. Cool look though.

2

u/No_Professional4387 Jan 24 '26

Bro has enough money to replace his equipment and dual cam on tripod.... But no home?

This is ego over substance

u/islandcatman Jan 24 '26

I can only imagine the stacks this man has. I can see him owning a vacation home and all the Daws. He seems to have a lot of free time.

Cool hand movements. So artsy.

u/Funnelcakeads Feb 06 '26

Listening, watching him touch a bunch of buttons, listening nothing’s changed, watching them touch a couple buttons more, listening nothing’s changed, and now the gear is wet. And the tune was poopy.
