ill ramble abt my first EP of 2025, and my first dive into a more sample-based edgier style. individual tracks will get embeded in so u can listen as you read and get what i'm ramblin abt.
fun facts abt the whole album in general: i played .flow 4 a couple of minutes b4 startin work on each track (except the last) bcs i wanted 2 b on a more edgy space of mind; cover is a picture from my computer monitor of some scribbles idk i just made it in like 5 mins; was made of the course of a month
main synth is 3xosc and a homage to the intro of Pretty Thing from my previous album.
side synth is also 3xosc and takes the role of the guitar in Pretty Thing, note how it plays an arpeggio.
drums r like sampled drum machine ones that were bitcrushed because i thought itd sound cool. it does sound cool in hindsite so i was rite. as always. B)
the bird noise is the unsettling opponent sound from the earthbound soundfont both with delay and pitch warping so its quirky. background synth is just classic 3xosc.
intro is also bitcrushed drum machine drums but inspired by the intro of I Bet On Losing Dogs by Mitski. im so original.
opening synth is detuned by automating the pitch and not vibrato or the like.
the other, cooled synth, was like a mega-effected and customized patch on 3xosc. took a while 2 perfect but once i did i was so proud of it lol. this synth is l8r layered with a deirdre sample and also a weird barbershop choir thing
piano is from the lbg soundfont. one of my fave pianos 2 this day lol.
third favorite track in all of my discography. love the way the sections feel repetitive but not in a tedious way. took like 3 hours to get it right but the base took like 30 minutes.
same opening synth and drums from previous track, second synth took like five minutes to make in 3xosc./p>
vocal chops and ending monologue sampled from cool easy listening thing
weird xylophone like sound is from flex or styrus i cant remember which.
backing synth close to the end is just a fantasia patch on my sgm soundfont.
sample is from whatever this is ???.
synth early on is like a normal saw wave.
drums are the same ones as all the previous tracks.
synth is a 3xosc one, nothing too major abt it just a sine wave combined w/ smth else.
background piano-like song is a patch from thfont.
really low-pitched japanese audio is mixed in at around 01:32, its ripped from a pixel art tutorial i cant remember specifics lol.
opening piano is like a sgm one, synths are from 3xosc as always and the drums are the same ones as usual.
i fucked w/ the attack in a backin synth so u get this very slight 'clicking' noise that isnt actually clickin.
this track marks the return of the infamed guitar soundfont i used all the time in the previous album. how pityful!
breakcore section uses the previously mentioned guitar and a chopped amen break.
first track of mine to have singable lyrics, ripped from this interesting little file.
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep.
