Give it up for another COLLAB! I had the pleasure of working with 0x_colt on this submission, and I feel I can speak for both of us when I say this one pushed our comfort zones!

A thoughtful and equally collaborative work of vocal manipulation, subversive themes, off-grid structures, shifting textures, breakbeats, and sonic chaos presented in full stereo.

This was by far the most rewarding creative experience in music production I have had so far, and it was wicked cool to work on a collab exclusively on Dirtywave M8 (praise Trash80 and praise the bundles!) - I highly encourage y'all to look through 0x_colt discography as their style and creative work is not only superb but very consistent :)

Hi everyone :)

The studio has basically turned into a sauna lately, so I figured I'd cool things down with a rain-soaked track :)

Here's my entry for this week. Hope you like it! :)

Cheers

P.S. I appreciate any constructive feedback and opinions :)

I really like granular, though I need to figure out how to control some of the rogue elements. continuing with the video game world inspired music.

I was trawling through my past ideas folder to see if anything was worth saving and I found a piece that had some good moments but made sense why I had abandoned it. Decided to take that and rebuild it, and here we are. Written in Ableton, using the Amigo sampler for the drums and some bass sounds, Serum2 for a bass and the ar, and Operator for the chords (which were the main part I liked most on the revisit).

Think I went a bit overzealous again with this but restraint has never been my strong suit.

Enjoy.

This is another collaboration with an earlier version of myself - and another quick one-take. The three first lines of lyrics were written by my 19-year-old self, taken from an old notebook. In singing, it really evolved from there and spontaneously took surprising turns, felt quite cathartic to sing it out. Hope you can get some of that energy in listening as well.

No, you didn't break my heart

You just beat it up

It's like I have Chinese shoes in my chest

slowly shifting the shape or the veins

to keep my heart small

but hey, it's helping in the end, right?

No, you didn't break my heart

You just beat it up and installed

these Chinese shoes in my heart

to keep it small

to keep it contained, but

I will break it free again

I will destroy these shoes, the constraints

Chinese shoes in my heart

That was a good start, but

it's time to change, again

it's time to believe that

I could hold multitudes, I already am

It's time to unravel

No, you didn't break my heart

You just beat it up

to make it stronger

to make it stronger

You know, like those vases

that get destroyed, time and time again

and they melt liquid gold in the cracks

my heart is, liquid gold in the cracks

That wail- I'll try again

That wail was the crack, and here's the

liquid gold

Liquid gold

Break your heart

Break the heart

Tear it apart

Then it can hold liquid gold

You know what I mean

You know

You feel what I mean

It's all gold

It's golden

P.S. Here are some wikipedia-links if you're curious about the chinese shoes and vases mentioned in the lyrics

MyloWhyTho really brought it out of me this week. This is one of the most experimental tracks I've ever worked on for sure, but I love the way it turned out. So many fun moments and ideas within, and I feel like it really shows off both of our "styles" intertwined in a very unique way. I know this one ain't for 'yo mama, but I think this one is definitely a crazy banger for anyone who likes to get weird sometimes.

He sent over an amazing Arca-ish bundle to start from on his M8 on Monday I believe, and by Wednesday evening we had the track ironed out, mix and all. Maybe 10 hours between the two of us? It felt incredibly good to have everything done so early and so efficiently during our collaboration - it was so fun! We clicked super well, worked super fast, and I think you'll likely be hearing more from us in the future.

BONUS LORE: In my opinion, one of the funnest parts of this track was making the ending because it came from an idea that we truly had the exact same inspiration for unintentionally, and Mylo also sent me one of the most hilarious beatboxing voice messages ever to describe the bass and cadence he was thinking of. Listening back to the voice message side-by-side with that part will forever be a highlight of my music making time. LOL.

finished up this thing just now. Caught a virus or something so I've been real tired the past few days.
