Liner Notes
First attempt this year at trying to capture the energy from the PS2 startup sequence, in song form.
Still pretty rough. There was a placeholder instrument playing a vocal melody, but it sounded a little too awkward in the mix so I left I out. The arrangement is intended to have a vocal over it (verse/chorus), but I don't think I'll get a chance to write and record lyrics before the end of February.
Song 1, 23 days in... will I make it?

this has that liquid dnb feel, but with a lower tempo. the drums are a bit dry. really i think that'd be my main critique: some jungle-esque slicing would add a lot to this. there's room for a vocal melody but i think it holds up pretty nicely without it tbh!
I think this is the first breakbeat I’ve heard this FAWM! I love how you have the atmospheric intro moving into the drums, you really build the tension there but it’s subtle. I don’t know a ton about electronic music but I know this sounds very cool to me!
ahh again some really beautiful panning throughout this. this totally transports me to like, a dark endgame cliff side where the final boss battle is about to take place but hasn't started yet 🤣 it's really gorgeous and i haven't heard anything like it in a while.
