Science & Tech Quote by Casey Abrams

"I love making music, I love composing on my computer, just making crazy ethnic slack orchestral tracks, that's one of my fun things"

About this Quote

There’s a particular kind of joy in the phrase “crazy ethnic slack orchestral tracks”: it’s messy, playful, and pointedly unpretentious about the whole enterprise. Casey Abrams isn’t selling “the artist’s vision” so much as describing a private playground where genre rules don’t apply and taste is allowed to be weird. The repetition of “I love” matters here. It’s not an argument for legitimacy; it’s a declaration of motivation. He’s telling you the engine is pleasure, not prestige.

The computer is the quiet co-star. “Composing on my computer” signals the modern collapse of the old studio hierarchy: you don’t need a conservatory pipeline or a gatekept room of expensive gear to stitch together orchestral textures, odd meters, and global signifiers. It’s bedroom-producer language, but with the ambition of film-score scale. That tension is the subtext: intimacy (one person, one laptop) reaching for maximalism (orchestra) and novelty (“crazy”).

“Ethnic,” though, lands as a time-stamped word. In the post-2010 pop ecosystem, it often functioned as a catch-all for “sounds from elsewhere,” the spice rack of Western production. Abrams pairing it with “fun things” and “slack” hints he’s not posturing as an ethnomusicologist; he’s admitting to collage. The intent is candid: celebrate experimentation and self-made craft, while lightly shrugging off purity politics. It’s a musician claiming permission to play first and explain later.
