ugly and strange 1

like almost everything i say and do, this is public domain (CC0 for countries where it’s illegal to put things in the public domain (like Germany, lol))

here are all the individual parts as audio, and a midi file for the sick drum part, in case you want to do a remix

if you do a remix, and you send it to me and permit it, i’ll put it on the EP when i release it

it’s a ps1 overworld theme and i have the bedroom door locked and it’s 2am and i’m stoned and concerned my parents might hear the playstation and knock the door to tell me to stop

when i startedi was dreaming of making music that doesn’t sound like the playstation 1, but here we are

like when elliott smith was like “if i could write happy music, i would. i wish i could”

except it’s “look if i could write ps3 music,”

bit wild this one; i had inner turmoil but now i’m cured.

i used to make music like this a lot, but it always felt really disjointed. i’ve learnt now that if you have a quickly rising sine wave in the bar before the change, (or x---x---x-x-xxxx, in whatever way (you can have different instruments pass of parts to one another)) then it feels OK and pretty good. people just need warning that there is going to be change. they don’t need to know what is going to change, they just need to know that a change is coming.
