Track 10 of album "THIRTY三十".

A mashup of the 30 tracks from TEN十, TWENTY二十 & THIRTY三十 into one final piece. The timings of each track are below, though some are almost inaudibly subtle.

27 - zelotypia = 0:00.000 
10 - tetractys = 0:00.295
20 - icosa = 0:13.359
24 - calc acerbia = 0:38.693
19 - bloom = 1:18.562
18 - liquid = 1:18.562
23 - galva = 1:31.226
17 - infirmary = 1:57.096
01 - before = 1:57.096
05 - glide & survey = 2:13.626
26 - volatil = 2:35.494
25 - bumbledom = 2:46.693
04 - nightspread = 2:59.494
08 - incision = 3:14.092
06 - simple geometry = 3:26.693 
03 - rapid_data_transfer = 3:29.894
13 - catalyst = 3:31.494
14 - the insides of tears = 3:44.294
29 - pendant = 3:44.294
16 - microchip = 3:57.294
11 - unknown = 4:09.896
07 - cryptocrystalline = 4:25.895
09 - incarnadine = 4:22.574
15 - flying = 4:22.574
28 - dynam = 4:38.709
22 - monostich = 4:48.322
12 - mono = 5:27.113 
02 - scrapbook = 5:33.517
21 - tetrachromacy = 5:42.551
30 - trifecta = itself

Some of you might be wondering what the hell's going on at the end. So, all thirty of these tracks are each made in under 24 hours, most in under 12. "trifecta" took JUST under 24 hours, and I was running out of time. However, the idea was to imply that now that this album's finished, "I'm just getting started". This is why you hear an orchestra tuning near the end. The final abstract sounds are supposed to represent what's to come.

Fun fact, the ten tracks in THIRTY三十 add up to exactly (to the sample) 30 minutes of music.

(at 19:30, on 08/01/19, this piece was played on Resonance FM, hosted by William Hall)

At 1:56, the sounds you hear are cut up from a recording of a terrible performance of one of my pieces. Part of the reason this track exists at all is to try and breathe new life into a bad memory and make it happy again!

An attempt to make sort of weird off-kilter post-90s sampler-heavy music like the kind used in ENA - Extinction Party, just to see if I could do it.

I was trying to make something which sounded like Graham Kartna or Oliver Buckland but my extremely extremely strong upbringing in Magic Schoolbus Games probably coloured the sound a lot. There's probably some American McGee's Alice in there, and a tiny bit of the NiGHTs series.

Also if you really want authenticity: here it is, as a μ-law–encoded 8-bit mono wave file, just like MS Kids® would've wanted it.

Direct Lounge (ENAwave)

This song is now officially done. Shoot me if I go back and edit it again.

Less weird sampler edutainment stuff and more late ps1 stuff now. Video's coming but it's bigger than the first one, and I got a freelance gig which is taking up some time.

I'd make a version of this song where it's a .PSF file except I can't imagine how I'd even get started. Was it just like old .MOD sequencer stuff or what? If I could even get the technical specs of how the songs were assembled I might be able to put together a facsimile of some kind.

7'00 a. m.

Hello everyone, long time no see(or listen?)! It's been 2 years since I published my last song, but here I am with two new ones! I also put them up on bandcamp as a single (it sounds weird but that's what its called! it's technically not an "album") which you can look at over here: https://glattax.bandcamp.com/

Listen to the companion piece to this song, "the Dreamer" over here: https://soundcloud.com/glattax/the-dreamer !

Thank you so much for all of your comments and engagement with my songs. I see some people listen to my music every single week without fail, it's absolutely amazing! I feel really humbled and touched that some of you care this much about my music. I really hope you listen and feel somewhat appeased in contrast to my 2 year absence lol! I also hope this maybe makes some of you feel at least a little bit of joy in these absolute sh*t times. *sends you all hugs and love* Enjoy! <3


Here is the description from bandcamp for this song:

"This song is about my original character Yeva. https://toyhou.se/1798789.yeva Here is her character page with art and facts in case you are curious about her!

This song symbolizes Yeva as a person, as I always make character themes. This song is supposed to represent her joy within her despair, and her big sister Zoyas presence as well. I have put in clock ticks as she is a clock maker, and wind to represent the tundra region she lives in. The song is mellow and steady, but ramps up to extremes and intensity. I feel like it represents some of Yevas essence. Both Yeva and Zoya are two of my favorite characters, and I wanted to really represent both of them as clearly as I could through music.

Both "the Mistake" and "the Dreamer" have each others main themes in them, so you will hear Zoyas theme and influence in Yevas, and vice versa. They also have the same "despair" theme in them, which you hear towards the end of both songs. Yeva and Zoya are family, and they are very close to one another.

I name my songs after words associated with the character that the song is about. Yeva's song is named "the Mistake" because her parents and peers considers her to be one, and what they feel about Yeva has shaped her life. I don't consider Yeva to be a mistake, but I've always felt stronger to take things other say about you and twist them around to make yourself proud over your hardships."

Now you can stop listening to the one I made when I was 16 and stop complaining that "the drum beat gets off key." I don't even keep up with Homestuck anymore
