'It's more productive than doomscrolling': film-maker Ben Wheatley on his secret life as musician Dave Welder

🎵 I am literally SHOOK about Ben Wheatley's secret music life 🤯 He's been dropping 26 records in a year and I'm obsessed with the whole underground vibe he's going for 🚂 It's like, I get it, film directing can be intense but making music is like his way of rebelling against the chaos 💥 And that DIY ethos? 👏 totally on point - who needs fancy studios when you've got GarageBand and a passion project 🎸 What really gets me though is how he's using music to create this immersive experience in cinemas 🍿 it's like, the ultimate sensory overload in the best way possible 😆 The only thing that worries me is the economics of it all but honestly, I'd shell out cash for Ben Wheatley's soundscapes any day 💸 Bring on those stacked speakers and bespoke light shows - I'm ready to be blown away 🎊
 
I'm loving this news about Ben Wheatley's secret life as musician Dave Welder 🎵🔥. The dude is like a Renaissance man - a film director, composer, and now a live performer too! It's awesome that he's experimenting with new ways to share music with audiences, especially in cinemas with stacked sound systems and bespoke light shows... talk about an immersive experience 😲! I think it's great that he's passionate about music and isn't afraid to try new things. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Ben Wheatley up on stage playing his own tunes? 🤟 The fact that he's been releasing 26 records in under a year is insane - the guy must have some serious energy 💥!
 
I'm not sure why more directors aren't doing this. I mean Ben Wheatley is already known for his dark and experimental style, but making music seems like a natural fit for him 🎵. It's cool that he's been able to use GarageBand to get into the zone and just make music without worrying about any of the 'film' stuff.

I love how he says it's a distraction from film work or a reward for completing tasks - sounds like a healthy way to stay creative! And I'm intrigued by his DIY ethos, using primitive equipment to recreate a fanzine with punk fans... that's just genius 💡. Can't wait to see what other crazy projects he comes up with next 🤯
