SpaztastiX (single, collab)

mt180 & TerraRuneOfficial

25 July 2024

links
notes first official collab project i've finished. i'm not proud of it by any means but it's not bad which constitutes a win i think. i let terra upload it because i wasn't particularly worried about publishing it at all but they were confident it was release worthy. go off i guess

it's probably really obvious who made each part but i think that's part of the fun. i doubt i'll do anything like this again for a long while but who knows. maybe potat will appear in my dms asking to collab every day for the next 3 years

cycle's heart (EP)

mt180

19 June 2024

links
notes very excited about this ep. it's inspired by zef parisoto's submerged self ep and contains what i believe to be my best work so far. i also use my voice in this one which is really unusual and might never happen again so that's cool. i say more in the readme in the download if you care

i suppose i'll write a bit about the tracks
the first track was made when i was exceptionally tired. i realized i had something cool in the first few notes i played for the melody thing so i decided i would write an album around it
track two was made when i was listening to the aforementioned submerged self ep multiple times per day. the primary bass sound in the drops are actually based directly off a sound in don't you forget me. i also did some weird vocal chop thing for a sound in the last drop.
third track is the most important one. i say words in it! the lyrics are in the readme i mentioned before. they should also be in the description of individual track upload if i don't forget
last track is some dark atmospheric thing i made based off aurastys - qxxv

imbalance (single)

mt180

13 April 2024

notes new dnb track. this took an entire month to make because i kept running into issues making it sound like one continuous song. i also had a hard time with sound design in several steps
now it's out anyway! i think it's very cool. its initial draft was massively inspired by (if not like, directly stolen from) a GBB24 loopstation wildcard by Balance. i then added a part which was largely inspired by the fast bubbly part in nhelv (i am making no sense) (timestamped link)

most of the sounds in this song, as usual, were made using this ancient vst i have called impulse. a couple sounds were made in vital, and the last drop's main sound is made from sampled parts of the first drop (chopped and played through some version of the tx16wx vst sampler) frequency shifted down and distorted a bunch. drums took an unusual amount of time to get right. everything was also weirdly quiet until 2 days before release.

this song sucks on speakers and i am NOT sorry. my stuff is made for headphone listening, if you're not listening on headphones it'll probably just sound bad. i can't stop you though

notes guys i actually continued doing the one release per month thing. that's insane
song was mostly made on stream. you can find the stream somewhere i don't feel like linking it
i also don't feel like writing about this song right now. maybe you can bother me about it on discord later or smth idc

RESTORE (single)

mt180

18 February 2024

notes congratulations to me for actually sticking to the words i said when i said "i want to do at least one release per month"
this track took like a week to make because i kept only working for 30-50 minute sessions and i could not figure out what to do for the intro

i believe i've said before that i don't really like house but for some reason i keep doing house-adjacent things. i think my problem with house isn't necessarily anything to do with the genre itself and more with the common conventions and artists associated with it. i started to realize this when i was watching the gbb2023 loopstation category battles, many of the rounds are house but i found i was enjoying them anyway. part of it was that it was a loopstation battle so i was directly perceiving a higher level of performance compared with the house music i was familiar with (whether such a comparison can really be made or not), but part of it was that it was actually just good music.
then i made music on --stunlock; which includes some house-like styles, confirming to myself that house doesn't suck because it's house and more because the house i was familiar with sucked

so here's a song that includes some heavier (for my style) dnb stuff, some house-ish stuff, some melodic-ish dnb stuff, and whatever other sounds i wanted to add. i hope someone out there likes it

FALL APART VIP (single)

Last Cosmillex

20 December 2023

notes not a lot to say about this one. same song but dnb and a bit longer. i like it more than the original

FALL APART (single)

Last Cosmillex

10 December 2023

notes this song is literally clipping the entire time. don't ask how i did it. or do. who cares. it was fun.

"ok that's cool and all but music sometimes means things what does this song mean"
not much. i made it while being pissed off at younger me for not capitalizing on what i had, so i guess it's a song about that. i made it while being pissed off at younger me for not being nicer to and spending more time with people i cared about who are gone now, so i guess it's a song about that. mostly, it's a song about the hatred of loss. it's also a song about being REALLY fucking loud. those have equal emotional significance, i'm sure. really you can interpret this song however you want, that's how art usually goes.
as for making the song, there isn't a whole lot to say. i made it in a couple hours in an afternoon because i was really bored. the fundamental musical idea is the same as that in dan worrall's "i won the loudness war", be as loud as possible while still being worth listening to. i am nowhere near as skilled or experienced as dan worrall, but i am an individual which makes me pretty much guaranteed to come up with something unique and interesting, even if it sucks.

violent (single)

mt180

22 October 2023

notes a dnb track i started on stream (vod link). very loud. i actually checked the RMS levels in audacity before uploading, apparently it's at -5db average! it's also clipping most of the time. amazing!
i consider this to be part of the same series as burning thoughts and penultimate dawn, despite the fact i am not uploading this in affiliation with dubstart (i actually ditched that group, my values and tolerance for certain kinds of electronic artists don't really align with them)

para5it1c.dll (single)

mt180

9 September 2023

notes this song mostly sucks. it's a dnb track where i went out of my way to do wacky things i normally wouldn't do. it didn't turn out amazingly. most of the wacky noises in this track are the result of running (fake) modular percussive noises through auto-filter. some of them are the same thing but starting with a breakbeat instead

listening not recommended

/kət'æˑst̠ʃɹəfiˑ/ (single)

mt180

1 July 2023

notes i've been hyping this one up for longer than i really needed to. it was originally going to be on an album (along with |styx|) but then i kinda gave up on that idea. now it's a single release!
very proud of this one- lots of neat ideas. it's definitely the best interpretation of final days (from the cone 2) that never happened
the name is an ipa transcription of how i say \"catastrophe\". it actually has a trillion mistakes in it but most people don't care and won't notice

inspiration comes from a few places on this one. the drop lead is based on my track final days, which itself is basically my attempt at creating a copy of nhelv by silentroom
i got the idea to do the nes part from the gameboy part in wanderlust by TQBF (timestamped)
i actually created a snare for this track. it's pretty simple and i'm sure a million people have done it before (including probably silentroom himself for nhelv). it's a short decay white noise hit with a quickly descending sine wave on top and some compression and distortion- easy to do in vital and probably serum
future update: somehow forgot to mention that there's a random thing i did that i heard in kurokotei - chronostasis (timestamped) leading into the second drop and also it's a measure of 5/4 because i am a fan of counting like a nerd
also, the title has a trillion mistakes because i was trying to use ipa before actually learning it at all

*0xfa7e=null (single)

mt180

25 June 2023

notes so, like, this track sucks. it's literally garbage
i released this because i've been rather unproductive lately and i dug this one out of my projects folder. apparently i've had it since january
i think it was originally supposed to be a dubstart release for the compilation but i ended up putting penultimate dawn on instead, which was an objectively better choice i'm pretty sure

this track exists as an experiment where i synthesized literally every sound. if i made this song more recently it'd probably have a much different set of sounds and i'd be a lot happier with it but oh well
the melody is just me playing random notes from the scale up and down my small midi keyboard (akai mpk mini). there's basically no music theory applied in this song, not that i do that anyway but since there's a melody i should state that anything which seems like a smart or competent move absolutely is not

notes dnb track i originally made for the cone 3 despite the cone 2 not being done yet. decided to release it as a single

original release description:
tracks like this are really frustrating. you spend so much time struggling to make something good, and then you pull something heavenly out of your ass even though it's supposed to be a joke. so anyway now i have this kinda pretty sounding idea and it's super neat but i have no idea what direction to take it in. as with most situations where i don't know what i want, dnb is my immediate go-to. so i put a breakbeat on it and some pads. but now i just have a dnb piano melody thing. now what? I HAVE NO IDEA. bruh,,, i finally have something worthwhile but nothing to do with it. IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS DUDE WTH. so anyway instead of letting this one die i fixed it up a bit and published it. i kinda hate it but i think i'll look back and say \"hey this is actually pretty cool.\"
